The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the functioning of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine in terms of international competition strengthening. The authors study the state and compliance of the development of the market of agro-industrial products of Ukraine with global trends. It is noted that the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine continues to be affected by a number of negative factors that hinder the development of the industry and do not allow to fully use all available export potential. The latest research and publications of leading economists on the development of agro-industrial production, on the problems of agricultural enterprises in foreign markets are analyzed. Ukraine is confidently increasing its position on the world market in terms of exports of agro-industrial products. However, maintaining the achieved results and reaching the leaders in new product segments require addressing the complex issue of accelerated technological development of agriculture and production, stimulating ecological certification and promoting a higher level of processing of exported products. Grounded main ways to solve them improve trends in the export of agricultural products Ukraine, formed list of measures to maximize the export potential of AIC Ukraine. It is concluded that both effective foreign economic activity of agrarian enterprises and the integration of the state to the EU depends on various issues. Provided Ukraine's foreign economic activity achieves the level of developed countries, the state will be able to take a competitive place at the world market of agricultural products and consolidate its positions. To improve the situation, it is proposed to fight corruption in the agro-industrial complex, increase the level of transparency of agribusiness in Ukraine, promote environmental certification, simplify the tax system, develop technological and innovation infrastructure of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine and more. The proper functioning of the domestic agro-industrial market and its infrastructure as well as the financial market is a significant factor of further Ukraine's agriculture development.

In conditions of establishing market relations and development of integration processes, efficient functioning of agrarian complex of the Republic of Belarus requires searching for new mechanisms and methods to improve competitiveness. As experience of economically developed countries of the world shows, states and producers actively use diverse logistic solutions, models, strategies and methods for planning and arranging activities. Organization of resource support for agricultural producers and promotion of their products in market according to logistics principles results in a significant economic, social and environmental effect. The paper, in the context of the modern period, presents social and economic indicators of the transport and logistics sector, system of state regulation, structural characteristics of logistics centers, agricultural foreign trade and logistics infrastructure. The main factors were identified hindering development of agrologistics in Belarus. Organizational and economic mechanism has been developed for improving logistical activities at the interstate (EAEU) and national levels have been developed. In case of proposal to create a single agrologistics market of Eurasian Economic Union at the interstate level, it is planned to increase efficiency of the national agrologistics market on the national level based on expansion of logistics infrastructure. Via integration of several prediction methods (expert assessments (pessimistic, optimistic and probabilistic opinions), economic and mathematical (extrapolation, time series analysis), non-standard (verbal information)), a reasonable forecast of development of logistics centers of the Republic of Belarus until 2025 was made. The issues in the paper are of interest for preparation of draft state programs and strategies in the field of agrologistics and development of exchange activities, development of country position in implementation of the agreed agro-industrial policy of the EAEU Member States.Acknowledgments.

In the distant past prices of primary commodities had shown a tendency of decrease and their increase was recorded only during the First and Second World Wars. Since 1950s there had been recorded a slight decrease in global price indices of primary commodities, while in early 1970s they grew to a considerable extent. After that and up to 2001 the global nominal price indices and particularly real price indices of non-energy primary products drastically fell reaching the lowest level in their history. This applied to prices of all primary commodities as a whole as well as to all groupings of these products. On the other hand, prices of industrial products exported by developed countries to underdeveloped and medium-developed ones, dynamically grew in the second half of the previous century. Thus, the terms of trade substantially aggravated for underdeveloped countries whose exports structure is still dominated by non-energy primary commodities. Therefore, the negative correlation was clearly manifested between a very high share of primary commodities in the structure of commodity exports and a very low per capita income in a number of developing countries. The drastic fall in prices of primary commodities and the simultaneous dynamic growth in prices of industrial products caused to a great extent reduction of the share of primary commodities in the world commodity trade - from 57 per cent recorded in 1950 to only over 20 per cent recorded in late 20th and early 21st centuries. Among numerous factors that have brought about a drastic fall in prices of primary commodities the most prominent are: technical and technological progress in their production, production of their substitutes, in traffic and other sectors as well. Apart from this, the decrease in prices of primary commodities has been considerably caused by change in exchange rate at par to US dollar, agricultural policies of developed countries, privatisation of companies that produce commodities and particularly by too excessive production and purchase in relation to demand and spending that in recent years have been under the impact of recession that has emerged in developed economies and a number of newly industrialised and developing countries, as well as a very slow revival of economies in transition. By all this, a drastic fall in prices of a number of particular products from this group has also resulted from the impact exerted by some specific factors. Taking into consideration the fact that the impact of the most important factors that have brought about the drastic fall in prices of primary commodities is of permanent character and that it will be exerted to a greater or lesser extent in the next dozen of years the experts of the World Bank forecasted in late 2002 that, taken as a whole, the real prices of primary commodities would slightly increase by 2015, but they would still be at a lower level than in 1990. By all this, they forecasted that the real prices of energy commodities (this also including raw oil) would be considerably reduced in that period.

The paper attempts to investigate the current state of Ukraine’s food security according to some indicators used in the world practice. It is determined that Ukraine has a level below the average in the global rating of food security. Therefore, this indicator is deteriorating annually, and in the global dimension may be rated rather unsatisfactory. The availability of problems in the food supply of the population of Ukraine in view of the growing threats in the agri-food sector is emphasized. The author analyzed Ukraine’s position in the world rankings by the indicators of quality, adequacy and availability of food and its share of food commodity dependence. It is determined that Ukraine does not lag behind the EU average by the criterion of food sufficiency, although it has the lower position in comparison with the developed countries of Western Europe. However, in terms of adequacy consumption, there is an insufficiency in almost all product groups, as well as an imbalance of nutrition of the population, which does not provide the necessary threshold criteria for a proper daily average diet. It is emphasized that according to the criterion of availability of food Ukraine does not reach the critical value of 60 % of expenditures from the average household budget and belongs to the countries with income below the average level. However, the population of the country cannot afford to consume vital food at a sufficient vital level, which adversely affects the food security of the state. We argued that although Ukraine was a significant exporter of agri-food products to the world market and although exports of these products have been increasing every year, our country belongs to the group of countries with high dependence on commodity imports and low level of commodity exports, which definitely needs to review the priorities of foreign trade policy of agricultural products. It is concluded that in context of the negative structure of domestic agri-food exports, it is necessary to switch to new effective methods of managing the threats to food security of the state and to define a comprehensive mechanism for the implementation of food security of Ukraine through well-considered agricultural, foreign trade, investment, and ecological. Key words: food security; global food security; food sufficiency; food availability; agricultural food exports.

Purpose. The aim of this article is to study the preconditions that contributed to changes in the institutional support of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises, to identify trends in foreign trade in agricultural products and to assess the effectiveness of such changes for direct producers of agricultural products. Methodology of research. The abstract and logical method and the method of generalization were used in the research, which allowed to determine the prerequisites for the formation of competitive advantages of domestic agricultural products in the world market, to establish the factors of influence on the change in the institutional support of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises. As a result of using the economic and statistical method, a research was made of the trends in the geographical diversification of exports of agricultural products and their processed products under the influence of the institutional environment of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises. Findings. The conditions for the development of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises are identified, changes in foreign trade in agricultural products and in the flow of foreign direct investment as a result of Ukraine’s economic integration into the world community, in particular the signing of WTO accession agreements and associations with EU countries, are highlighted. As a result of improving methodological approaches to determining the effectiveness of foreign economic activity in the agricultural sector as a result of changes in the institutional environment, proportional changes were established between the indicators of export and intra-economic activity of agricultural enterprises. The positive impact of creating a free trade zone with the EU countries is substantiated, which will encourage domestic agricultural enterprises to adhere to EU standards for the safety and hygiene of agricultural products, especially dairy and meat products. Originality. Methodological approaches to the determination of indicators of the effectiveness of foreign economic activity in the agricultural sector as a result of changes in the institutional environment have been improved, which, unlike the existing ones, comprehensively take into account the results of domestic and export activities of agricultural enterprises. Practical value. The results of the study can be used in the marketing activities of agricultural enterprises in order to build export strategies and search for their own niche in the world market. Key words: institutional support; institutions; foreign economic activity; agricultural enterprises; export; import; price; agricultural products; world market; foreign direct investment.

The level of economic development of entrepreneurship in any country in the world is crucial in increasing the competitiveness of the national economy in the world market of goods and services. The activities of economic entities are the driving force for the sustainable development of regions and their suburban areas, and they also impact the welfare of population. The article dwells on the analysis of scientific approaches to the regulation of economic development of enterprises in suburban areas of the region. The article analyzes the scientific approaches to the regulation of economic development of enterprises in suburban areas of the region. According to the well-known classics of the fundamental economic theory of entrepreneurship development (A. Smith, D. Ricardo, V. Laungard, A. Loria) the peculiarities of economic development of entrepreneurship in suburban territories of the region are determined by the possibility of distribution of surplus production, minimum production costs per unit of production, availability of labor resources. In modern economic theory (M. Weber, A. Pre, S.M. Kimelberg, E. Williams, C. Vlachou, O. Iakovidou, J. van Dijk, P. Pellenbarg) the development of entrepreneurship in suburban areas of the region can be determined by institutional, innovation, technological, social, ecological and other features of the economy at the regional, state or world levels. The complex and comprehensive generalization of the features of economic development of entrepreneurship in suburban areas is proposed. There are (1) the type of decision taken by an enterprise to carry out business activities in the relevant suburban area of the region, and (2) the influence of internal and external factors on economic activity. The article argues that large enterprises are guided by more objective decision-making reasons, attaching the most importance to the physical and innovative environment. Medium and small enterprises are mainly focused on getting benefits for the entrepreneur in the short-term time period and location in the nearest geographic area. The attention was paid to the tools of ensuring economic development of entrepreneurship in suburban areas of the region, taking into account institutional changes in the national economy and the experience of developed countries of the world.
