After transitioning to a market economy, Kazakhstan has not managed to restore the former Soviet levels of agricultural production. Among the reasons for this are the decline of rural areas and the shortage of arable land for agriculture across the country. In response to these issues, this article examines the specifics of land share usage in Kazakhstan, which represent a transitional form of joint land ownership. The legal and economic nature of land shares is analyzed, as well as their role in reforming land relations under market economy conditions. Particular attention is paid to issues of effective land resource management, optimizing the use of land shares, and ensuring their legal protection. The goal of the study is to evaluate the mechanism of land share distribution and identify vulnerable regions. Key problems associated with the distribution, use, and transfer of land shares are identified, along with proposed solutions to address them. The research is based on the analysis of legal and regulatory frameworks, statistical data, and practical case studies, allowing for an assessment of the current state and prospects of the land share system in Kazakhstan. To identify issues within the mechanism, the study employed a survey method. Based on the survey results of land shareholders, it was concluded that the most fertile lands are being used highly inefficiently due to the concentration of land shares in the hands of unscrupulous land users. Spatial-temporal analysis and mapping methods were applied to study land usage in the most problematic region. To address the situation, examples of the successful utilization of the land share mechanism both within the country and abroad are provided. The importance of enhancing land management efficiency under changing climate conditions is emphasized.
