The widening margin between the retail and producer prices of food has been documented in numerous empirical studies both in Europe and in the USA for many different food products. This paper explores the possible reasons for this phenomenon, with emphasis on the situation in Finland. Six conceivable explanations are recognized: 1) increased degree of processing, 2) better food hygiene, 3) differences in productivity growth across sectors, 4) agricultural policy reforms, 5) international trade, and 6) imperfect competition. In this paper each of the hypotheses is assessed in light of the available empirical evidence.

Trade in temperate zone agricultural products has remained largely outside the trend toward liberalization that has characterized international trade in the last 30 years. One of the most debated issues in this regard has been the European Community's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and its effects on world trade. Recent evidence emphasized the implications of the protectionist nature of the CAP in stimulating internal trade and slowing down third countries' farm exports to the EEC. But, no attempt has been made to estimate quantitatively the magnitude of the effect of the CAP system of import protection on EEC supply, consumption, and trade of agricultural products.

The state and contradictions of the development of the agricultural sector of the national economy are investigated. Challenges at the micro-, macro- and global levels for the agricultural sector in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic have been identified. It is noted that the main problems for the domestic agricultural sector in a pandemic were: reducing the purchasing power of the population, limiting the functioning of agri-food markets during quarantine, complicating the logistics of agricultural products. It is established that changes in the markets of countries that are major importers of agricultural products from Ukraine (China, India, the EU, Turkey, Egypt) in a pandemic will have the greatest impact on the development of Ukraine’s agricultural sector. It is concluded that among all sectors of the national economy, agriculture is the least affected by quarantine restrictions. It is shown that small and medium-sized farms suffer the greatest losses in a pandemic. The tasks facing agricultural enterprises and the state in the conditions of a pandemic are determined. The strategic directions of agricultural policy in Ukraine are indicated.
