DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINIAN AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS IN THE CONTEXT OF “GREEN” TRANSFORMATION AND INTEGRATION INTO THE EU
Abstract
Introduction. The agricultural sector is one of the key drivers of Ukraine's export potential, providing a significant share of foreign exchange earnings and playing an important role in global food security. At the same time, the current stage of agricultural export development is taking place in conditions of significant transformations associated with the "green" transformation of the economy and Ukraine's integration into the European economic space.
Methods. The article uses a set of general scientific and special research methods. Theoretical aspects of the development of agricultural exports in conditions of "green" transformation and European integration are summarized using methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, as well as a systemic approach. Statistical methods, comparative analysis and graphical techniques based on data from the State Service of Ukraine, Eurostat, OECD and FAO were used to assess the dynamics and structural changes in agricultural exports. The role of the "green" transformation was substantiated using institutional analysis, structural and logical modeling and generalization of the EU's international experience.
Results. The study found that the “green” transformation and European integration are changing the model of Ukrainian agricultural exports, causing a transition from a predominantly raw material orientation to an export strategy based on increasing added value, quality and environmental compliance of products. It is substantiated that the integration of EU environmental standards, traceability systems and carbon accounting into the national export policy increases the adaptability of agricultural exporters and reduces the impact of non-tariff barriers on access to European markets. It is proven that the effectiveness of agricultural export development in the context of the “green” transformation largely depends on systemic strategic management, state support for environmental innovations and investments in technological modernization of agricultural production.
Discussion. Prospects for further research should be linked to a quantitative assessment of the impact of the “green” transformation on the volume, structure and added value of Ukrainian agricultural exports. An important direction is the development of econometric and scenario models for assessing the effectiveness of state and European support instruments for the adaptation of agricultural exporters to EU environmental standards. Also promising is the analysis of the integration of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises into European value chains, taking into account regional characteristics and challenges of post-war recovery.
