Abstract
<jats:p>The article is dedicated to ensuring the resilience of the agri-food sector in Ukraine amid contemporary socio-economic transformations. The relevance of the research topic is determined by significant changes in the economic structure, globalization, and the increasing external risks to agri-food markets, which necessitate improving theoretical and methodological approaches to ensuring the sector’s stability. The study aims to analyze, systematize, and enhance mechanisms for ensuring the resilience of the agri-food market in Ukraine. To achieve this goal, the article substantiates the importance of the agri-food sector. It is established that the sector remains strategically significant for the national economy, contributing a substantial share of the gross value added, providing employment, and determining the country’s export potential. It is revealed that the intensification of globalization processes, the transformation of logistics chains, and changes in production structures create both new opportunities for sectoral development and increased dependence on external economic factors, manifested in price volatility, heightened competition, transformation of the export structure, and growing requirements for innovative technologies. The study proposes directions for ensuring the resilience of the agri-food sector, including: the formation of effective institutional policies, structural modernization of production, development of innovation potential, improvement of market and logistics infrastructure, strengthening the financial and economic stability of economic entities, development of integration processes, ensuring social resilience of rural areas, and enhancing the sector’s foreign economic adaptability. The implementation of these directions will increase the adaptability of the agri-food sector to contemporary socio-economic transformations, strengthen national food security, enhance the competitiveness of domestic producers, and ensure the long-term sustainable development of Ukraine’s agri-food market.</jats:p>
