Purpose. The purpose of the article is to analyze of the current state, to highlight problematic aspects and to assess the economic efficiency of rapeseed production in Ukraine. Methodology / approach. During the study such methods were used: monographic – during highlighting the views of scientists on the problems studied in the work; economic-and-statistical – to study the characteristics of the development of the rapeseed market; comparative – during comparing production performance, rapeseed production cost structure, supply and demand balance in the rapeseed market in Ukraine; graphic – to determine the structural changes in the rapeseed market situation in the regions of Ukraine; system analysis – to assess the nature of the impact of a combination of factors on the efficiency of rapeseed production. Results. The analysis of the dynamics of production and economic indicators of rapeseed production in Ukraine was carried out, the structure of production costs and consumption trends of finished products were assessed. The main tendencies and changes of market conditions on the rapeseed market were revealed, as well as the analysis of the influence of prices and cost on the economic efficiency of its production. Originality / scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that the provisions on the application of an integrated approach to assessing the structure of the cost of rapeseed production have been further developed in order to identify quantitative and qualitative changes and trends in the intensification of the rapeseed production process. Practical value / implications. The presented analysis and assessment of the economic efficiency of rapeseed production can be used by agricultural enterprises in the practice of agribusiness or taken as a basis in preparing a project for the production of commodity rapeseed, taking into account the individual characteristics of expenditure items, as well as the existing distribution channels for finished products.
