Abstract

Based on the method of historical analysis of the evolution of state regulation and organization of the wholesale food market systems in 7 countries of the European and Pacific regions, the article studies the effectiveness of the wholesale food market system as a tool for implementing the state policy of national food security. The authors identified 4 typical organizational and economic models for the formation and regulation of the wholesale food markets within the framework of the implementation of various national strategies in the field of food security: the model of state initiative, the model of public initiative, a mixed model, a combined model with point-based state regulation. The authors defined effects of the system of the wholesale food markets as a tool for the implementation of the national food security strategy, as well as the intensity of such effects within each of the presented models. The methods of interaction of the wholesale food markets system with the sectors of farmer and consumer cooperation are considered. The role of regional specifics, state policy and local communities in the formation, functioning and evolutionary development of the system of wholesale food markets is investigated. It is proved that the intensity of the effects depends significantly on the specific institutional conditions and the goals that form the basis for the implementation of the model.
