Abstract. The article studies the state and trends of agricultural development in Ukraine. Agriculture today is one of the leading sectors of the Ukrainian economy, as well as that agricultural products are the main ones regarding its foreign trade. At the same time, there are a number of problems that hinder the effective development of agriculture, ranging from outdated material and technical base at enterprises to a significant share of imported agricultural products, that are present on the market, and the prices of which are lower than of the Ukrainian products. The findings of the article prove that in 2019, compared to other years, the share of unprofitable agricultural enterprises increased. In addition, there was a decrease in the level of profitability for all types of agricultural products. It is noted that practical implementation of effective management tools allows enterprises to reduce the size of possible losses and the likelihood of emerging crisis situations, to improve the adaptability of enterprises and to strengthen their competitive positions in the market.  The study identifies that the activity of agricultural enterprises is complicated by competition, which requires the production of products that are in demand. In order to prevent crisis, enterprises should use marketing management that involves managing all general and individual functions of the enterprise, as well as all its units on the basis of marketing. In addition, marketing management involves the orientation of the entire management system of the enterprise to pleasure the needs of consumers. It is established that commercial efficiency and social impact will be achieved as a result of effective use of marketing management in the activities of agricultural enterprises. The list of procedures, with the help of which marketing management at the enterprise can be formed, is investigated. The guidelines for marketing management at agricultural enterprise have been developed, which together will help meet the needs of consumers, gain new competitive advantages, and, as a consequence, increase the profitability and competitiveness of the enterprise.   Keywords: marketing management, agricultural enterprises, crisis, profitability, competitiveness.

To ensure the development of agricultural production in modern conditions, it is necessary to pay more attention to nontraditional spheres of activity and production. One of these forms is viticulture. In the article the present state of grape production development in agricultural enterprise sisconsidered. Focuse dattention to there levance of the issue under investigation and itssignifican cein the agricultural production system. The maintendenciesof development of are asundervineyards, productivity and grosscollection of grapesin agricultural enterprises are determined. It is noted that agricultural enterprises devote much less attention to the development of grape production and horticultureprivate households and users of other categories.It has been established that the area of vineyards are decreasing (even without taking into account producers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea), the yield is low. Reducing of land area under vineyards in agricultural enterprises and reducing their productivity has led to a reduction in the volume of grape production.One of the reasons of this situation is that viticulture is a highly capital intensive industry that requires significant investments. For the last years there was a rise in prices, a depreciation of the national currency and some other negative factors that negatively affected the ability of commodity producers to effectively provide the need for funds to carry out the production program. Consequently, enterprises reduced the use of productive resources, which negatively affected the yield of grapes.The main problems for solving this problem are the high capital intensity of the industry, significant amounts of initial investment for the production of grapes, obsolete production technologies, difficulties with the marketing of the resulting products.To ensure the effective development of grape production, it is necessary to pay more attention to the improvement of the organization of the system of sales of the ready products. There are two important problems in grape production sphere – low buying ability of most consumers and competitiveness of grape production. On the basis of the researches, the directions of effective development of grape production are offered. The solution of these issues requires attention from the governmental authorities: the development of appropriate support and development programs, the full or partial compensation of the cost of laying vineyards, the purchase of the necessary equipment for the care, harvesting and processing of grapes. The combination of efforts of state institutions and agricultural producers will ensure the sustainable development of viticulture in Ukraine.The research was carried out using a number of economic, mathematical and statistical methods. With the help of the dialectical method, the current state of development of grape production was explored and illuminated; the economic and statistical method is used to assess the dynamics of the industry's development; method of expert assessments and abstract-logical – in substantiating the main directions of ensuring the effective development of grape production in agricultural enterprises. Key words: development, production, grape, agricultural enterprises, competitiveness, viticulture, trends.

It has been established that the stronger is the price fluctuations on the sunflower and other agricultural products, the more powerful is their influence on the formation of financial results of the industries with the high capital intensity of production and with a larger share of the fixed costs in the total production costs. In its turn the better infrastructure support for the sunflower seed market and the use of the forward operations allow to level the negative multiplicative effect of the operational leverage on the formation of the financial results of this industry. The latter determines the necessity to accelerate the development of the infrastructural segments of the agrarian market which are not suitable for the forward operations. The results of the study are used in developing the recommendations regarding the management of the agricultural enterprises expenses.

The problems of creation and effective functioning of service cooperatives in agriculture are analyzed. Formation of their microeconomic goals, which are determined by the presence of many centers of optimization, are shown. The inadequate coherence between these goals and the directions of state financial support was the most important factor in deterring of formation servicing co-operation in Ukraine. The mistakenness of common points of view regarding the absolute competitive advantages of agroholdings in comparison with service cooperatives is substantiated. Service cooperatives can provide formation as large commodity parties as agroholdings without excessive consolidation of economic entities. In addition, service cooperatives may avoid competition by implementing marketing strategy focused on satisfying needs of consumers of individual narrow market segments.  The main argument is the ability to overcome the monopolization of the market by separate structures and ensure market price generation. General tendencies of agricultural development are determined by the prices which are formed by separate monopoly structure without cooperatives. Price is the main element of the market mechanism of production regulation. It is a benchmark that defines the directions of marketing activity of agricultural enterprise. There are lots of tendencies that should be expected in such condition. These are huge companies, which form their own distribution channels. They independently deliver products to consumers, passing the existing intermediary structures which monopolized market. They prefer production of products for export, as monopolistic tendencies in pricing are largely overcomed in foreign markets and prices for agricultural products are higher and more stable. Cooperative idea is aimed at formation on cooperative basis of the infrastructure of the agrarian market in some countries. Evidence of this is predominantly cooperative ownership of the wholesale markets for agricultural products, created in the places of raw material production. Government support of creation markets ensures market generation of prices and goods flows through the organization of auction tenders. The dissemination of information on the results of these trades will affect the price level generated by other channels, stabilizing prices.
