This paper presents the evolution of the organic food market at EU level, as well as its place in the world. Market size was highlighted based on the retail sales of organic food indicator, and the consumer penetration rate of this product category was assessed by retail sales of organic food per capita. Europe is the second largest market in the world for organic food, out of the total, 91% being related to EU member states (in 2015). In the last few years, the analyzed market has seen increases in EU countries, with differences between them, both in terms of dynamics and consumption intensity (old EU members far outstripping the new ones on this indicator). Despite the positive evolution, the analyzed market remains a market with a huge potential for development, still untapped, the penetration of organic food consumption still being at a low level.

The fishery complex of the country is a significant segment of the economy, concentrating all kinds of resources for socio-economic development. The main goal of the country’s fishery complex is the production of fish and fish products for the population. Along with this, an expert assessment of the economic activity of the studied sector of the economy made it possible to identify some problems. The solution to these problems in 2013 was consolidated into a general concept, which served as the basis for the formation and implementation of the state program with total funding until 2020 in the amount of more than 92 billion rubles. In 2020, the program was prolonged, and some target areas were updated according to planned results, while financial support for the coming period amounted to about 52 billion rubles. Currently, the catch (extraction) of aquatic biological resources has increased, safety control has been strengthened, new water areas for fishing activities are being reclaimed, etc. However, there are some problems: marketing activities, updating the material and technical base, reconstructing coastal ports, increasing the share of proceeds through the sale of primary and deep processing products, and developing freshwater aquaculture. At the same time, there is an increase in the economic efficiency of the subjects of the fishery complex, as well as a noticeable social effect in terms of creating new jobs and increasing wages. An analysis of the consumption of fish and fish products by the population showed that a certain deficit has formed in the food market over the past three years, which is caused by numerous factors of internal and external influence. Despite the complexity of the emerging problems in the studied complex, Russia acts as an active partner in the supply of fish and other aquatic biological resources to the world market.

Modern consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the perceived health benefits of food. As a result, they are in search of various types of information, for example, information on the packaging of food products that could confirm to what extent the purchased product will meet their expectations regarding the proper composition, that is, nutritional value, or perceived health values earlier mentioned. Furthermore, consumers increasingly seek new dairy products with additional health benefits and, therefore, it is essential to explore which attributes are important drivers of food choices and how producers can better respond to shifting consumer values and needs in each dairy product category. Therefore, the aims of our research was twofold: (1) To determine different segments of consumers based on their preferences towards food and nutrition, including opinion on new food products with a particular emphasis on a dairy market as well as (2) to study the importance of some statements related to nutrition presented on the yoghurt label with a precise focus on aspects of the increased and decreased content of some ingredients. The data were collected using a CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) survey on a sample of 489 adult Polish consumers. Respondents provided answers to questions and took part in a discrete choice-based experiment. The obtained data were analysed using the clustering method. The segmentation was performed using a hierarchical Ward’s method. As a result, four segments were identified: Quality-oriented, Involved, Quality Enthusiasts, and Neutral. The results indicated that in relation to the features that are important in the case of yoghurts, the following were indicated above all: Beneficial effects on health, its sensory values, as well as its availability on the market and production by traditional methods. Consumers belonging to Quality Enthusiasts seemed to be the most promising segment due to their openness to new products, as well as positive feedback on yoghurt. From the perspective of taking action on the food market, Involved may also be interesting, as it showed their openness to new products available on the food market. However, due to the relatively lower, compared to other segments, assessment on the beneficial effect of yoghurt on health, their taste, aroma, availability, as well as the importance of information on care for the proper method of breeding animals, this segment can pose a special challenge to entrepreneurs. Moreover, Involved seemed to be more demanding and critical towards some projects undertaken on the market by policy makers and marketing practitioners.

Restoration of livestock industries is important both for the functioning of the national food market and for improving Ukraine’s position in the global agri-food market. Because products of animal origin, in contrast to products of plant origin, can be sold on the foreign market only in processed form. That is, it by definition has a relatively higher share of value added, and therefore it is more profitable to trade. First of all, this applies to dairy products. After all, if for export of meat products primary processing for its sale in the form of carcasses for half-carcasses is enough, then for sale for export of dairy products there should be a full technological cycle – from production of agricultural raw materials to production of industrial semi-finished products (milk powder, whey, casein). etc.) and ready-to-eat products (pasteurized milk, fermented milk products, whole milk products, etc.). Thus, such products have a relatively high share of value added, and therefore provides the best price. Therefore, stopping the decline in the domestic dairy subcomplex, increasing production that meets international safety and quality standards, and expanding the presence of Ukrainian dairy products on the world market is an important management task, the solution of which, among other things, requires in-depth scientific study. The purpose of this article is research of the state of dairy production in Ukraine and determination of its place on the world market in the conditions of openness of the national economy. The article examines the state of domestic milk production and processing, and the dynamics of dairy exports. The ongoing decline in dairy production is indicated, which is accompanied by a deterioration in the quality of livestock raw materials. There is a reasonable assumption that the main reasons for the decline in industrial dairy production and the reduction of Ukraine’s share in the relevant world market are: reduction of raw milk production, loss of markets of the Customs Union, problems with entering the EU market due to predominant non-compliance with domestic safety standards and quality. Ukraine reduced its share in the world dairy market: in the butter segment from 7.32% (1992) to 2.08% (2019), in the cheese segment from 5.73% (2005) to 0.23% (2019), in the segment of skimmed milk powder from 1.03% (2005) to 0.17% (2019), in the segment of skimmed milk powder from 5.23% (1995) to 0.84%), in the segment of dry whey from 1.72% (2011) to 1.62% (2019). According to the OECD-FAO forecast, the negative trend will continue at least until 2029. The main reasons for the reduction of the share of Ukrainian dairy producers in the world market were the reduction of milk production, loss of markets in the Customs Union and problems with entering the EU market due to the predominant non-compliance of domestic livestock products with international safety and quality standards.
