Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the economic category of oilseeds market. The variety of scientific research areas affecting the market of oilseeds indicates that economic relations in this field attract much attention of scientists. Popularization of publications on this topic is due to the scale of processing and export of oilseed crops, increase of sown area and volumes of production of oilseeds. It is noted that the domestic agrarian market takes a special place in the market of oilseeds because the market of oilseed crops plays an important role as a powerful export engine of the country's economy. The theoretical positions and developments of the national economic science concerning functioning of the market of oilseeds are generalized. The emphasis is placed on the place of the market of oilseeds in the system of the agrarian market. The oilseed market is an integral part of the agrarian market, the market for means of production, the land market, the financial market, the labor market, the information technology market, the seed market. The domestic market of oilseeds is represented by the main 3 crops - sunflower, soybean, rape. It is characterized by large-scale industrial production of major oilseeds (sunflower, soybean, rape) and small production of niche oilseeds (flax, mustard, rizhyu), large volumes of export-import operations, development of infrastructure and marketing activities of entities. The market definition of oilseeds is proposed. It was emphasized that the issue of interaction of market players, providing commodity producers with the freedom to enter the market, forming a balance of demand and supply of oil crops products is important. The authors specify the subjective composition of the market of oilseeds and a specific chain of their relationship. The subjects of the market of oilseeds are originators of reproductive seeds, producers, exporters and processors of commodity products, the state as a regulator. Studies have shown that at the present stage, the functioning of the market of oilseeds in the context of its subjects is unbalanced.
