The strengthening of risks in the activities of agricultural enterprises and the need to form an appropriate risk management system are argued. The foreign experience of using risk management tools, which allows to minimize and neutralize the negative impact of risks on the resulting indicators of business structures, is highlighted. The author emphasizes that the risk category is complex and may consist of many elements, the number and value of which directly or indirectly depend on numerous factors. The factors of the external and internal environment that affect the formation of the risk of the economic activity of the agricultural enterprise are revealed, on the basis of which a conclusion is drawn about the need to establish monitoring of the economic risks. It is substantiated that the classification of factors of economic risks of agricultural enterprises should combine the positive aspects of the existing classifications, as well as take into account the specifics of their activities. It was concluded that there are numerous classifications and grouping of risks, which requires their reasonable systematization. Scientific approaches to the classification of the economic risks are summarized, which are supplemented with features characterizing the peculiarities of agricultural production. Specific factors in the activity of agricultural enterprises that determine the riskiness of economic activity are identified, namely: global climate changes, territorial extent of placement, duration of the production process, seasonality of production, loss of soil fertility, removal from circulation of agricultural land, man-made pollution of agro-ecosystems, innovative technology and resources digitization, imbalance of the material and technical resources, state support, etc. The author proposed to classify the economic risks of agricultural enterprises according to the causes of their occurrence, which will contribute to the selection of various features of the classification depending on their significance of influence on the financial and economic results of the enterprise. In addition, it has been proven that the basis of the systematization of economic risks of agricultural enterprises should be the specific features of the industry, namely the division into two complementary sub-sectors - crop production and livestock production, which will allow to fully reveal the specifics of industry risks.
