GRAIN MARKET CONDITIONS IN UKRAINE: CURRENT STATE AND DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS

Introduction. The full-scale war with Russia has forced domestic grain producers to quickly adapt to new conditions, look for alternative ways to sell their products, and revise their crop structure to ensure they can make a profit. They are facing a double challenge: the need to store and transport grain in conditions of risk of damage and lack of infrastructure, as well as dependence on price fluctuations on the global market. Market analysis and forecasting of the situation on the sales markets are becoming critical tools for farmers to make management decisions on their commodity policy. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to analyse the grain market situation in Ukraine and determine the prospects for its development. Materials and methods. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive approach to assessing the impact of endogenous and exogenous factors on the grain market in Ukraine. It involves the use of such research methods as analysis, synthesis, generalisation and graphical methods.
