The article examines the current state and dynamics of development of the crop sector of the agricultural sector of Ukraine as one of the leading in the market management system. The products of the industry are extremely important for the national economy, because they are used as raw materials for the light and food industries, consumed in kind, used for animal feed. The production of plant products is associated with the cultivation of plants and the use of a specific and unique resource - land. However, the concentration of agricultural producers on the production of certain crops with high commercial attractiveness and their subsequent export led to a violation of the requirements of rational land use, which led to problems of socio-economic and environmental nature. Against this background, the most acute issue is the further development of the crop sector in terms of balanced use of agricultural land. The article analyzes the current state of development of the crop industry, namely: the dynamics of sown areas of crops and their structure; the analysis of volumes of production of agricultural products in natural indicators in dynamics is carried out; indicators of economic efficiency of agricultural land use are investigated; the state of mineral and organic fertilizers application to agricultural enterprises is determined; a SWOT-analysis of the development of the crop sector of the agricultural sector of Ukraine was conducted. It is established that this state of affairs requires the direction of the vector of agricultural policy in the direction of balancing the economic and environmental component of the use of agricultural land in order to ensure the preservation and reproduction of their fertility. Perspective directions of ensuring the development of the crop industry in the conditions of balanced use of agricultural lands are offered.

AbstractSituated at the crossroads between several sectors, from biology, biochemistry, agronomy, management and economy to technology, the bioeconomy represents all uses of bio-resources, whether they come from agricultural land, sea, forest or waste materials. The current bioeconomy strategy of European Union identifies agriculture as one of the sectors mainly supplying biomass. In the last decades, agriculture was constantly transforming towards a knowledge intensive sector. Being almost entirely the physical support for agriculture, the rural regions are expected to become a key player in the development of the bioeconomy activities of the near future. In the modern biobased economies, the rural regions represent more than just a source of raw materials to bioeconomy industries. Future opportunities for the development of the agricultural sector in Romania, thus boosting rural development were identified by conducting a SWOT analysis of the domain through agriculture development.

Introduction. The current state of development of walnut production in Ukraine is unsatisfactory. This product is very promising for growing in all regions of Ukraine. In the context of land reform, the urgent issue is to find ways to use land resources more efficiently, and growing walnuts is one way to maximize the profits of farmers. Methods. The following methods were used in the article during the work as: analysis and synthesis - in determining the system-forming factors of the development of walnut production; comparison - to determine the benefits of the proposed method of growing and selling walnuts; formalization - in the development of a systematic approach to the production and sale of nuts by farms. Results. The volumes of production, yield and sales of walnuts in Ukraine are studied. Possible directions of use of products from nut kernel and production waste are determined. The need for the development of farms for the production and processing of walnuts is argued. A business plan for the restructuring of farms with a focus on deep processing of walnuts is proposed. Discussion. Walnut production in Ukraine is currently concentrated in private farms, the relevant products cannot be standardized. Most of these products are sold as kernels and are exported. This type of activity is one of the most promising, especially in farms, with proper government support. The development of production with a focus on deep processing will make it possible to maximize the profits of agricultural producers and provide raw materials to the pharmaceutical industry for the production of activated carbon and carbon-containing high-tech products (processing of nut shells). Implementation of the developed startup "Nut Craft" on the restructuring of farms in Ukraine will promote the development of farms. In the future, marketing strategies for promoting walnut processing products on the Ukrainian market will be studied. Keywords: walnut, yield, production, restructuring, processing, farms, efficiency.
