The main goal of the study is to identify endogenous and exogenous factors that determine the scale and dynamics of Ukraine’s exports of organic agricultural food products (OAP). The formulated goal caused assessment of a number of potential factors influencing the development of the export potential of the Ukrainian agro-industrial complex in terms of production and sales of organic agricultural products on foreign markets. The authors conducted economic and mathematical modeling based on the software product E-Views. The observation interval covers 2008-2019. Multifactorial regression model has been constructed and tested for heteroscedasticity, as well as causal relationships have been identified between the main indicators of supply and demand and the exports volumes of related organic products. This makes it possible for further forecast on Ukraine’s exports in the short and medium term. Methodology. The study has been based on statistics from international and Ukrainian institutions specializing in organic farming and trade, including FiBL (Research Institute of Organic Agriculture), the Federation of Organic Movement of Ukraine. Databases of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, UNCTAD for the period 2008-2019 were also involved, which made it possible to conduct a full cycle of research procedures in order to identify the most significant factors influencing Ukraine’s export activity within related segment of the global market. The results of the conducted modeling show the following: achievement and increase of Ukraine’s relative advantage in international trade of organic agro-food products for the outlined years; the existence of strong connection between the volume of exports of organic agro-food products and the level of comparative country’s advantages in international trade; identifying a significant impact on exports of endogenous factors, namely the level of wholesale and retail sales on the domestic market of Ukraine as a factor that creates additional demand from the population and business of Ukraine (B2B and B2C markets) for organic products and enhances the attention of agricultural manufacturers to activities that combine the criteria of high profitability and public demand. Another endogenous factor is the volume of areas allocated for organic farming has shown insignificant impact, however, it allows to create resource conditions for increasing production and export activity of national business in a particular sphere on various directions, from meat and dairy products to production of organic fruit, vegetables, etc. Practical implications. Conceptual provisions, conclusions formulated by the authors based on the conducted econometric modeling, allow to optimize the measures of regulatory policy in terms of institutional support of conditions and factors contributing to promising activities of the national agro-industrial complex. This will ensure the implementation of the national strategy on sustainable development with its emphasis achieving environmental criteria of production and consumption, reduce the level of import dependence upon a number of strategically important food groups and, at the same time, increase economic efficiency of Ukrainian agricultural business. Value/originality. Prospects for further research in this area may assess the potential of international production and marketing cooperation between Ukrainian agricultural companies and non-resident companies in terms of limiting the latter’s access to the land market in Ukraine while finding flexible mechanisms to stimulate joint production and sale of organic agricultural products on international markets according to quality and safety standards.

The research problem for this study is to provide an overview of competitive advantages of organic agricultural products over conventional agricultural products, and to demonstrate how constant and variable indicators of these advantages work. It is shown that distinguishing features of organic products are essential tools of competition, which are used to identify the difference between organic and conventional products. From the marketing perspective, organic products have been described in three dimensions: design intent of a product; real-life product; product with amplification. The author systematizes internal and external factors which influence how organic agro-food products have an impact on the target market. It is proved that in the process of organic farming, the main factors affecting the products’ properties are the agricultural production environment, soil quality, animal housing conditions, selection of species and varieties of agricultural crops, the level of organization of organic farming, expertise and skills of the agricultural producer.It has been established that in recent years organic production has been balancing on the verge of a rather unstable equilibrium, which, along with purely economic factors (first of all, market conditions), can be destabilized by any serious cataclysm, such as drought, severe frosts, abundant and prolonged precipitation. Adaptation to the climate change requires introducing new management methods and systemic changes in marketing strategies from all agricultural producers as well as organic food chains. Achieving these objectives is possible provided that producers of organic agricultural products use the existing practices and expertise efficiently and invest to innovations to ensure sustainable productivity of agricultural plants and animals for the production of organic products with high qualitative properties.

The agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan has the objectives on increasing the volume of production of competitive, export-oriented agricultural products and increasing labor productivity by 2.5 times by 2022. Thus, the country's agricultural policy is aimed at ensuring food security. The goal -is to analyze the current state of providing the population of the republic with food at the expense of own production and to identify further ways of its development. Methods – comparative analysis, statistical and economical for market research; systematic approach. Results - The Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 9, 2016, No.503, approved scientifically grounded physiological norms of food consumption. In connection with the pandemic, the State has set the priority anti-crisis tasks to achieve the stability of the socio-economic development of Kazakhstan, including regulation of prices for agricultural products. The conducted comparative analysis showed that the population in the country is mainly provided with domestic food products within the established standards, with the exception of poultry meat, cheese, cottage cheese, fruits, berries, vegetables, sugar and fish. The undertaken measures show that in the near future they will allow increasing the scale of production of these food products, which is quite justified. It has been determined that the republic has potential opportunities, in particular, natural and labor resources for import substitution. Conclusions - meeting the needs of the republic's residents for all types of their own products requires deep research.

In the various crisis conditions of agricultural development, the role of promising sectors of the agrarian sector is growing. The development of organic agriculture is relevant and in demand throughout the world. Demand for organic products is increasing. For Russia, organic agriculture is a young sector that requires the adoption of a law in this area and the creation of effective mechanisms for its management and support. Russia can become one of the main suppliers at the world level of organic food products. On the example, the Republic of Кomi, perspective of the development of organic agriculture in the region of the main agricultural food products. For conducting organic farming, a rating assessment of soil quality was carried out in the agro-climatic regions of the region. The Komi Republic agro-industrial complex is confronted with the task of increasing the self-sufficiency of basic foodstuffs, which should be carried out in four directions: the first is ensuring domestic production of products on the average annual level, which were reached by Republic in 1986-1990, on average; the second is the achievement of the highest level of production for each type of product that the republic had from 1990 to 2015; the third is a 25% increasing in self-sufficiency of the population with meat and milk with adaptive chemicalization of the republic agriculture that does not harm the ecological environment; the fourth is the development of organic farming, bringing the level of self-sufficiency of the population of the republic: with meat – more than 60 kg / person, milk – 280 kg / person, which will satisfy the recommended consumption rates of the Russian Federation by 86.2%, and WHO, respectively, by 76.9 and 69.1%. At the same time, the specialized production profile should be differentiated according to the soil rating for organic farming in the agro-climatic regions of the Komi Republic and within them presented in the article.

In the post independence period, the most important challenge in India has been to produce enough food for the growing population. Hence, high-yielding varieties are being used with infusion of irrigation water, fertilizers, or pesticides. This combination of high-yielding production technology has helped the country develop a food surplus as well as contributing to concerns of soil health, environmental pollution, pesticide toxicity, and sustainability of agricultural production. Scientists and policy planners are, therefore, reassessing agricultural practices which relied more on biological inputs rather than heavy usage of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Organic farming can provide quality food without adversely affecting the soil’s health and the environment; however, a concern is whether large-scale organic farming will produce enough food for India’s large population. Certified organic products including all varieties of food products including basmati rice, pulses, honey, tea, spices, coffee, oilseeds, fruits, cereals, herbal medicines, and their value-added products are produced in India. Non edible organic products include cotton, garments, cosmetics, functional food products, body care products, and similar products. The production of these organic crops and products is reviewed with regard to sustainable agriculture in northern India.

The Impact

The presented study explores the nature of factors that facilitate the purchase of “green milk”, which serves as the most appropriate term for defining environmental and organic milk of animal and vegetable origin.Aim. The study aims to identify factors that affect the indicators of disposition towards purchasing green milk.Tasks. By summarizing previous studies, the authors put together a set of factors influencing green consumer behavior, conduct an empirical assessment of the impact of these factors, and specify the criteria for facilitating an environmental perception of food products by the consumer.Methods. This study is based on empirical quantitative-qualitative research. Its qualitative section involves a series of semi-structured interviews aimed at gaining insights. The quantitative section is processed in IBM SPSS 23.0 using а regression analysis. Alpha level 10 % is chosen as the p-value. The respondents are selected using the snowball method with allowance for the niche component. Some respondents are micro-influencers running their own blogs, active on social media, and managing digital communities. From the age perspective, the respondents include millenials living in the capital of the Russian Federation (born in 1982-2000, according to V.V. Radaev) [1]. According to Nielsen, the consumption of organic products by millenials increased by 14 % in 2018, which makes them the fastest growing consumer segment in the eco-market. Moscow accounts for 70% of the Russian ecomarket [2]. Based on the above, the examined group of respondents can be regarded as innovators and early supporters of the emerging green milk market.Results. Literature analysis reveals factors that could potentially affect green consumer behavior. The constructed regression model shows health concerns to be the main motive for buying green products. Despite certain difficulties in distinguishing between the terms “ecological” and “organic” in the context of the topic, it is established that milk (of vegetable and farm origin) can be both ecological and organic. The majority of consumers of these products are women. The key factors that consumers pay attention to when choosing environmental or organic food products are ingredients and eco-labels.Conclusions. Based on the obtained results, marketers working with green products should focus on their health benefits. Ingredients and eco-labels are the key criteria for identifying a product as green. Therefore, it is necessary to provide information about the health benefits of the ingredients on the packaging, and it also advisable to put an eco-label. The results of the study make it obvious that consumers cannot tell the difference between official and non-official certification marks on green products. Thus, such words as green, organic, vegan, eco may not increase sales, but will help define the product as green. When developing a marketing communication strategy, it is necessary to keep in mind that women are the target audience in most cases. A potential business opportunity that deserves attention is organic products for men’s health, which will help to differentiate a new product.

The priority task for Kazakhstan is to increase the competitiveness of the national economy. The formation of competitive advantages of industries and enterprises of agro-industrial complex is of particular importance in scientific aspects and in business practice. Scientifically based technologies of agricultural production envisage production and sale of agricultural products and food products in the required volumes, which are competitive on domestic and foreign markets. The authors note that one of the main problems in processing of raw materials is the low output of final goods from raw unit. In order to fill export niches and ensure import substitution, new export-oriented sectors of the agro-industrial complex have been studied. In particular, in processing industry, the transition to international quality standards for technical and technological re-equipment of production, as well as expanding the range of food products and creating equal conditions for competition with main trading partners in the Eurasian Economic Union remains relevant. The results of the study allowed us to conclude that it is necessary to make amendments in matters of technical regulation, trade, protection of competition, information, customs and border services, improve organizational and economic structure of agricultural sector in the following priority areas of management: development of integration in AIC, agro-industrial entities performing procurement functions, storage, transportation, processing and marketing, organization of agricultural markets, ensuring formation of effective material resources. Thus, it can be stated that increasing the competitiveness of agricultural products depends on many factors, the observance of which is an indispensable condition for the recovery of the industry's economy.
