The systems and synergetic approach was applied as a theoretical and methodological basis for the research. Abstract, logical and empirical methods were used in the process of highlighting the problems of expanding entrepreneurship through exports connected to agrifood business. The Strategy for the development of exports of agricultural, food and processing industry products until 2016 require the long-term state policy toward agriexport growth. There is a clear trend of increasing food export to the EU countries. However the article highlights some obstacles of mutually beneficial trade expansion. The possibilities of increasing raw materials exports are quite limited. That is why a more diversified export is needed for strengthening the competitive positions of domestic agrifirms on the global food markets.
