Determined the role of the agricultural sector in food self-sufficiency and formation of export flows, identified the fundamental trends of food consumptions and agro-food foreign trade. The methodological basis of the research is the system of general and special scientific methods. Empirical results, concerning the role of the agrarian corporate sector, have been obtained through retrospective analysis, grouping, benchmarking and generalization. The commodity structure research showed negative changes in value added. The share of unprocessed goods in trade increases due to a decrease in the share of processed products, which allows us to state the raw material orientation of Ukrainian agro-food exports. It was noted that attention should be focused on increasing the share of products with higher value added in agro-food exports. The prospects for increasing exports of organic products were outlined. The Ukrainian agro-food foreign trade is characterized bypositive features, including an increase in value and volume of productions and exports, improved food self-sufficiency, surplus trade accretion and by negative ones, namely irrationality of the consumption structure, reduction of the share of processed products and semi-finished products in the agrarian trade structure.
