Introduction. Prospects for dairy farming from Ukraine's accession to the WTO will be formed under the influence of: implementation of WTO agreements governing the production of milk and dairy products and trade; conditions of Ukraine's membership in the WTO and concluded agreements; the current state of dairy farming and the domestic market of milk and dairy products, especially the level of competitiveness of national producers.
Methods. The following methods and techniques were used to implement the tasks set in the study: monographic method – in studying the experience of countries around the world on the formation of trends in livestock, institutions and substantiation of forms and methods of state regulation of the industry in them; method of generalization – in the process of determining the substantive characteristics of economic categories and interpretations of the theoretical apparatus of the study; abstract and logical, constructive methods – during the development of directions for improving state support for the development of dairy farming.
Results. Despite certain problems of harmonization of domestic legislation on milk quality to European requirements, there is a problem of developing technical regulations “Raw milk”. We believe that the technical regulations should define mandatory requirements for raw milk and technological processes of its production.
The requirements of the proposed Regulation are mandatory for all economic entities engaged in the production, procurement, storage, transportation, sale and disposal of milk, regardless of ownership and subordination.
Discussion. Prospects for the revival of dairy farming lie in the development of state and regional support measures, including the introduction of a mechanism for subsidies for the growth of dairy and beef cows, the introduction of grant support for family farms and the implementation of state control measures for high-quality milk production.
