In a market economy, the optimal supply of food to the population depends entirely on the development of the food market. To establish indicators of rational consumption, it is important to determine the capacity and saturation of the food market. The purpose of this study was to highlight the current proportions of supply and demand in the Ukrainian food market, establish the correspondence of the capacity and saturation of the food market to rational consumption parameters. The study used dialectical method of cognition of market processes and a systematic approach, analytical generalizations, statistical comparison, constructive-calculation, tabular, and abstract-logical method. The food market is recognized as aggregative, as it includes several interconnected markets for crop production, livestock production, and industrial processing. The study investigated the specific features of the formation of demand for food with low purchasing power of the population. The market capacity was established – standard with minimum and rational consumption standards and real. The latter was almost 30% lower than the calculated one based on rational norms, which indicates additional opportunities to replenish the income of the agricultural sector. It was found that even with an increase in effective demand of the population, the improvement in consumption is levelled due to rising food prices. A prominent level of self-sufficiency of the country in food products (excluding fish and fish products) was established, and a considerable saturation of the market with essential products – potatoes, vegetables, eggs, butter, and bread. The study results should be used in the formation of a target program for the development of the food market for a long-term period aimed primarily at rational provision of food products to the population of Ukraine

The tasks facing agro-industrial production in Ukraine are to stimulate the processes of accumulation and effective use of investment resources according to the priorities of economic growth, and prospects for the development of innovation activities. The prerequisite for this is macroeconomic stability, which contributes to the accumulation of internal and external factors and resources by increasing investor confidence in economic regulatory policy and reducing the level of risk of investment activity. The issues covered in the study will primarily concern such important factors in ensuring the development of agroindustrial enterprises as innovation and investment. These concepts are widely reflected in the research of many economists, but the management of innovation projects and investment activities to ensure the economic security of agribusiness entities is not sufficiently developed. This determines the relevance of the article. The purpose of the study is to determine the nature and features of agricultural innovations, to examine the conditions and factors of innovative development of agriculture, to assess the challenges and prospects of using the latest advanced technologies in agriculture and their financial support. The following methods were used in the investigation: dialectical, systematic approach, monographic, economicstatistical, tabular, graphical, comparative analysis, abstract-logical and analytical forecasting. The features of the introduction of innovative technologies in the agrarian sector of the economy are analysed and it is revealed that agro-innovations are closely related to agrotechnical conditions of production, are linked to living organisms, are seasonal and, accordingly, have a high level of risk. The analysis of material costs for the production of cereals and the dynamics of their prices was carried out. Using the example of one of the farms of the Vinnytsia Oblast, it is calculated how precision farming technologies and energy-saving technologies can reduce the cost of grain production. The main trends in investment support for agriculture, the relationship between capital investment and GDP are identified, and their role in the implementation of agricultural innovations is clarified. The prospects of investment support of innovative activity of Ukrainian agriculture in the war period are determined. The measures to address the issues related to the introduction of innovations in agriculture are proposed. They will help to improve the production process, increase the efficiency of using internal ones and maximise the attraction of external investment in the implementation of innovative ideas.
