EUROPEAN PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CROP PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES IN UKRAINE

The article presents the results of a study of the current state of the crop production industry in Ukraine under martial law. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of trends in the development of organic production in the context of globalization and regionalization processes. The need to transition to organic farming as an important component of sustainable development of the agricultural sector is substantiated. Agrotechnological directions and a set of practical measures are proposed to solve existing problems, taking into account the experience of the European Union countries, in particular within the Eastern Partnership. In the structure of agricultural production in Ukraine, a significant decrease in yields is noted in the regions affected by hostilities (Donbas, southern Ukraine), while the western regions demonstrate positive dynamics. A description of the main crops that form the country's crop production is provided, in particular grain, leguminous, industrial and vegetable crops, indicating the sown areas in 2024. The aim of the article is a comprehensive study of the current state of the crop production sector in Ukraine, while simultaneously identifying key problems facing national agricultural producers. The main task is to substantiate promising measures to increase the productivity of agricultural production with an orientation towards European standards and their adaptation to the specifics of Ukrainian realities. The conducted research acquires particular relevance in the context of the implementation of the state program, financed from the state budget, on the topic: «Development of agrobiotechnological approaches to the production of crop products to restore soil fertility affected by hostilities». The scientific basis of the study was the use of the dialectical method of cognition, a systematic approach to the analysis of economic processes, and methods for calculating the efficiency of the functioning of the crop production sector. In addition, the basis was the provisions of modern economic theories, the results of domestic and foreign research, as well as regulatory and legal acts on improving the efficiency of agricultural production, supplemented by our own observations and accounting data. The study proposed practical recommendations for the development of organic production in Ukraine. The current trends in the field of organic farming in the context of deepening globalization and regionalization processes were analyzed. The problems associated with the need to transition to organic production of crop products as a factor in the sustainable development of the agricultural sector were outlined. Agro-technological directions and a set of promising measures to overcome the identified challenges were also formulated, taking into account the experience of EU countries, in particular within the Eastern Partnership.
