| Abstract | The agricultural market occupies an important place in the system of markets of the Ukrainian economy. This is due to the extraordinary importance of the products that are the object of purchase and sale in this market. The volume, assortment and quality of agricultural products produced by domestic producers determine the government's ability to fulfill one of its key functions - to guarantee food security for its citizens.. In the context of the acute geopolitical crisis caused by the russian military aggression, the domestic agricultural market is one of the few that continues to function and develop, providing employment in agriculture and related industries, supplying raw materials to processing enterprises and earning foreign currency from agricultural exports.. The agricultural market is a part of the agricultural market where wholesale trade in agricultural products is carried out. Wholesale trade in agricultural products is the activity of buying and selling agricultural products in batches for subsequent sale to the final consumer through retail trade or for production or other use, as well as ancillary activities that ensure such purchase and sale by providing related services. The key factors of the Ukrainian agricultural market - supply, demand, price and competition - depend on the conditions of the internal (national) and external (international) environment: agricultural policy measures, including those within the framework of reforming the agricultural sector of the economy; demand in the domestic and foreign markets, the sectoral competitive structure in both agricultural production and industrial processing, etc. Improving the efficiency of Ukraine's agricultural market should be associated with a decrease in grain exports and the simultaneous restoration of vertically integrated ties within the agro-industrial complex, an increase in final demand for food products, protection of the national food market from excessive imports, etc. | ||
