Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of the state and prospects of the market for compound feeds and biological mineral-vitamin supplements in Ukraine. The article provides statistical data on the production and consumption volumes of feeds and supplements on the domestic market up to 2022 and in 2022, particularly during the Russian-Ukrainian war. The authors analysed the factors affecting the demand for these products, such as the increase in animal populations, the expansion of animal husbandry scales, the development of production technologies, and more. The trends in the development of the market for compound feeds and supplements are also highlighted, including changes in demand for feeds and supplements for domestic animals, reasons for the decline or increase in demand for these products, trends in the coming years, and related products. The authors highlight the importance of developing national production of compound feeds and supplements, which will provide independence from imports, increase competitiveness, and improve product quality. An important factor that affected the demand for compound feed products, production, sales, and logistics of these products was the war. The article will investigate the impact of military operations on the activities of farms, agroholdings, and other institutions that purchased compound feeds, biological mineral-vitamin supplements, and other products in bulk and how this changed demand, among other things. In addition, it is worth noting the importance of establishing cooperation between feed producers and farmers. Producers must be ready to meet farmers' needs and understand their requirements, which will help maintain the competitiveness of the national market. The development of scientific research institutes that study technologies and develop new compound feeds and supplements is also essential. The article is an important source of information for professionals in the animal husbandry industry, producers of compound feeds and supplements, and those interested in the development of the domestic food market and national security.
