DEVELOPMENT OF THE EXPORT POTENTIAL OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY IN THE CONDITIONS OF ECONOMIC GLOBALIZATION

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of the development of the export potential of the agricultural sector of the national economy in the context of globalization.

The scientific novelty is the study of the main problems of economic development of the agricultural sector of the national economy. It was found that the intensification of economic globalization only strengthened Ukraine's market position in world agricultural markets, where Ukrainian products are in demand and successfully compete with goods from other suppliers, has its own buyer and consumer who is willing to pay more to get Ukrainian food. A number of countries that are the main importers of Ukrainian agricultural products have been identified, where the position of the main importer of Ukrainian agricultural products has been held by the countries of the East for several years in a row.

The focus is on the development of the market of agricultural products, which is determined by the characteristic features: the prevailing growth rate of demand for agricultural products and raw materials over the volume of its supply. Growing consumer demand for food quality and safety; иrising prices for agricultural products. This affects the decline in the purchasing power of the population; intensive growth of bioenergy. In the agricultural sector, farmers want to grow "biofuel" crops in order to make extra profits. This is a bad factor for agriculture due to the violation of reclamation technologies that leads to severe soil depletion.

Conclusions. The strengthening of economic globalization leads to the expansion of national borders, and therefore one of the strategic directions of agricultural development in Ukraine should be the modernization of agriculture with innovative technologies that will promote the production of high quality agricultural products in accordance with international trade standards. Despite the increase in exports of agricultural products from Ukraine, their structure is dominated by mostly agricultural raw materials, which may further increase Ukraine's vulnerability in foreign trade relations, as the demand for raw materials is volatile with a sensitive price criterion. Therefore, in the future we should refocus on the export of finished agri-food products, as unlimited adsorption capacity of the world market and high prices for agri-food products can provide domestic producers with a profit sufficient to reproduce and expand their own production.
