ANNOTATION

This article explores the development trends of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine, focusing on structural changes within the agricultural sector and the influence of external factors. It analyzes the dynamics of sown areas, yields of main crops, and production volumes of both crop and livestock products. Additionally, it compares the operations of enterprises to those of households.

Particular emphasis is placed on the impact of the ongoing war, alongside an economic and statistical analysis of production indicators for enterprises and their adaptation to current challenges. The findings reveal a significant increase in the production and sales volumes of agricultural products in recent years. Despite various adverse factors, the Ukrainian crop sector has shown considerable resilience, providing a strong foundation for its continued successful development. The same positive trends are evident in animal husbandry.

Based on these results, recommendations have been made to enhance the efficiency of agricultural enterprises, their resilience to crises, and their competitiveness in both domestic and international markets. The future of agricultural enterprises is closely tied to the adoption of innovative solutions and adaptation to climate change. Increasing the use of digital technologies in the agricultural sector will help boost productivity and optimize costs. Furthermore, diversifying export routes by developing alternative logistical corridors is essential for maintaining the stability of agricultural product sales in the face of global and regional challenges.

Despite the numerous difficulties, the agricultural sector in Ukraine has demonstrated a robust level of stability and remains crucial to the country's economy. With modernization, the implementation of innovative solutions, state support, and effective strategic management, there is a strong opportunity not only to maintain but also to strengthen our position in the global food market, thereby sufficiently meeting the needs of Ukrainian population.
