| Abstract | The article examines the current state of development and evaluates the effectiveness of entrepreneurial activity of agribusiness entities in Ukraine under wartime conditions (2024–2026). It is established that the agro-industrial sector retains its key role in the national economy, generating a significant share of GDP and the majority of foreign currency earnings, despite massive losses caused by the full-scale invasion. The study reveals that the overall agricultural output declined compared to the pre-war period, while farmers expanded crop areas under cereals, demonstrating the preservation of the sector's productive potential. It is determined that the export structure remains raw-material oriented, with a notable geographic diversification of supply chains toward Asian, African and Middle Eastern markets. The operational challenges facing the industry are characterized, including logistical constraints, critical labour shortages, climate pressure and limited access to financing. The strategic directions of sectoral development are investigated: alignment with EU standards within the framework of accession negotiations, modernisation of logistics and processing infrastructure, and expansion of multimodal transport chains. To quantify the adaptive capacity of agribusiness enterprises under wartime conditions, the authors propose the Operational Resilience Index (ORI = (V~exp~ / V~pre~) × (1 − L~risk~) × K~adapt~), which enables a comparative assessment of enterprise performance across regions and business models. It is established that the competitiveness of the sector is increasingly determined by complexity management and digitalisation rather than by production scale alone, positioning strategic investment in infrastructure modernisation as a fundamental condition for achieving sustainable long-term growth. | ||
