Abstract

International trade is one of the most common forms of economic relations. The country's participation in international trade allows for an additional positive effect that contributes to the country's economic growth.The purpose of the article is to highlight trends and prospects for the development of international trade in agricultural products in the context of attracting foreign investment.The article analyzes the level of implementation of international standards in Ukraine in terms of certain types of agricultural products. The factors that hinder the entry of domestic agricultural products into the EU market are identified and recommendations are given to increase the competitive position of Ukrainian agricultural producers in the international market.The level of harmonization of existing standards for agricultural products is considered. In Ukraine, standardization and certification is mandatory for almost all products, but due to outdated standards, they do not ensure quality. It is noted that the lack of European certificates of conformity for domestic manufacturers is a lever that inhibits the entry of Ukrainian products into the EU market. The top 5 positions of world exports of agricultural products are analyzed. The largest volume of exports falls on cereals. It is proved that the import of domestic agricultural products largely depends on the volume of investment in the industry. The requirements are identified, compliance with which promotes the entry of agricultural products into foreign markets and has a positive effect on attracting foreign investment. It is noted that the EU is currently Ukraine's second trading partner after the CIS. It is proved that the agro-industrial complex is one of the key sectors of the national economy.The authors believe that Ukraine has all the necessary prerequisites for the development of foreign trade in agricultural products. First of all, it is the development of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine, maintaining appropriate relations with other countries and compliance with international standards. These preconditions provide the foundation for the transition to a global level in the country's economy. The potential of agriculture is sufficient to secure Ukraine the appropriate status in the world market of agricultural products.
