Conceptual principles of the agri-food systems development in the conditions of Ukraine post-war recovery

The strategic post-war restoration conceptual principles of agri-food systems on the ensuring basis of the economic growth of the national econom and ensuring the country’s food security and the export potential formation of agro-food products with a high added value are developed in the article.

The current operating conditions of the agri-food sector is proved to require the strategic programs review and tools definition for its state support. It has been established that the agriculture share in many world countries is decreasing due to the industries development of deep processing of agricultural raw materials, population migration, however, in Ukraine, a rather high value of this indicator is observed with an insufficient amount of added value per worker. It was concluded about the comparative advantages trends restoration of Ukrainian agricultural products acquired in the past, the production growth dynamics, the exports expansion of deeply processed food products. In order to strengthen the studied sector position of the economy in world exports and overcome import dependence in technologies and material and technical resources, measures implementation for industries revival is foreseen on the basis of ensuring the agriculture orientation towards the «Agriculture 4.0» model implementation of scientific and technological development. The challenges of global climate changes, price volatility on the global agri-food market, martial law in the country, etc., which affect the development of the national agri-food system, are highlighted, and the main measures to minimize their negative impact are identified. To sum up, there is a need to calculate the resource potential amount of agriculture and develop a practical action system and measures to restore it to the pre-war period values, as well as the introduction of innovative technologies to increase crop capacity, productivity and reduce food losses. It has been proven that the development of the food industry should be oriented towards the technical and technological modernization of the existing capacities of the food industry and the creation of new factories for deep processing of agricultural raw materials. Measures set and tools for supporting food industry enterprises with the aim of diversifying the product range due to the production of healthy, functional food, deep processing products of agricultural raw materials has been substantiated.
