Small businesses producing cereals, legumes, and sunflower seeds contribute to the country's food security and environmental protection potential. The purpose of this study was to substantiate the social, economic, and conceptual foundations of small business entities' activities in the production of cereals, legumes, and sunflower seeds in modern conditions. The methodological framework of the study included the provisions of institutional economic theory and functional analysis. To generalise the results, the study employed analysis, graphic, and abstract-logical methods, and approaches of generalisation of results. The motivational orientation of the functioning of small businesses engaged in the production of cereals, legumes, and sunflower seeds and their place in production and consumption were determined. The study found that in 2023, the company achieved a record grain yield of 51.8 100 kg/ha, which was driven by favourable weather conditions. It was substantiated that the cost of crop production has increased due to lower prices for agricultural products (maize by -41%; sunflower by -35%; wheat by -37%) and an almost twofold increase in the cost of plant protection products and fuel. It was proved that in 2017-2022, 91.79% of the variation in net profit is explained by the variation in the level of grain, legumes, and sunflower seeds sold by small businesses. It was found that the disruption of the sales system of small businesses producing cereals, legumes, and sunflower seeds, the low level of purchase prices and the considerable increase in prices for material and technical sources of survival and fertilisers due to the hostilities make production inefficient. The development of small businesses and family farming stays one of the priority areas of regional policy. The information and analytical material can be considered when creating regional programmes for the development of agrarian entrepreneurship.

Micro-entrepreneurial structures in the field of agricultural production generate employment, have adaptive potential for the formation of stable food systems and survival. The purpose of this study was to substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations and socio-economic problems of micro-entrepreneurial activities in agriculture under martial law. Research methodology. The methodological framework of the present study included the provisions of system analysis. To generalize results, the study involved monographic, normative, graphic, abstractlogical methods and approaches. Study results. The place of micro-enterprises in the "production – distribution – exchange – consumption" system is determined. They can creatively contribute to the achievement of sustainable development criteria, form sustainable agri-food chains, guarantee self-sufficiency in food products, develop local niche exclusive productions, and ensure self-employment of the rural population. It is established that personal farms that have organized a family farm and registered as individual entrepreneurs also have the opportunity to implement their activities. It was found that the most adapted to the crisis conditions associated with military actions are family farms and household plots. However, the lack of stable sales channels for the products of micro-enterprises, the low level of purchase prices and a considerable increase in prices due to military operations for energy resources, machinery, fertilizers, and plant protection products make production inefficient. One of the priority areas of regional policy is still the development of family farming, small and micro businesses in rural areas. Practical significance. The results of the study can be considered when developing regional programs for the development of agricultural business entities

Farms form an integral element of territorial entities and local culture: they use a variety of agricultural systems, promoting a balanced diet and preserving the environment. In wartime conditions, farms have a unique potential for creating productive and sustainable food systems. All these features indicate that the study of the system of farm development is relevant and has both theoretical and practical significance. The purpose of this study was to substantiate the theoretical and methodological principles, socio-economic and legal issues of the activities of farms in the conditions of martial law. Research methodology. The methodological framework of the present study included the provisions of system analysis and economic theory. To generalize results, monographic, normative, graphic, abstractlogical methods and approaches were used. Study results. It was found that the conditions for staying on the single tax of group 4 are the most beneficial for farms, since the tax is fixed and depends solely on the volume of land plots. It was established that personal farms have the opportunity to implement their activities in the form of entrepreneurship for individuals-entrepreneurs who have organized a family farm. The study characterized individual family farms in Lviv, Zakarpattia, and Chernihiv regions. It was established that during martial law, the state allocates funds under special grants and subsidies to support the development of farms. It was found that the most adapted to the crisis conditions associated with military actions are farms and household plots. Practical significance. The results of the study can be considered in the development of regional programs for the development of agricultural business entities; the development of regulations for the formation and development of cooperation and integration in the agricultural sector of the economy

The need for business entities to exit from an extreme state activates the development of processes of adaptation of business entities to functioning in wartime conditions. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological principles, socio-economic and legal problems of adaptation of business structures to activities in extreme conditions. System analysis and institutional economic theory served as the methodological basis of the research. Normative, graphic, abstract-logical methods and approaches to summarizing the results were used. Prospects for the development of entrepreneurship have been determined. It was established that during the period of economic recovery, issues of material and technical and financial support of production facilities and logistics routes will be problematic. The economic difficulties of large corporate structures are revealed (destruction of assets, disruption of logistics connections, blocking of sales markets). The essence of adaptation of business entities to activities in the conditions of armed conflict, functioning in wartime conditions, and integration-cooperative structures from the point of view of systemicity is substantiated. The concept of "adaptation" of business entities is clarified as a process of development and application of strategies for reflection by the enterprise and its structures of the effects of the consequences of the war in the management decision-making system to ensure competitiveness and efficiency of functioning. It was established that the adaptation of business entities to risk conditions in the post-war period will contribute to the development of integration structures (cooperatives, simple societies, cluster associations), the growth of independence in determining the programs of their economic activity, ensuring the interest of peasants as commodity producers with the rights of formal bearers of entrepreneurial status to meet their economic and social needs. It was found that the most adapted to the crisis conditions associated with military operations are farms and private peasant farms. The results of the study can be taken into account when developing programs for determining the priorities of the development of agrarian entrepreneurship subjects, in particular, integration-cooperative structures; development of regulatory and legal acts for the formation and development of cooperation and integration in the agrarian sphere of the economy
