Ukraine, as a player on the world agricultural market, has a number of competitive advantages, including a high level of self-sufficiency in major food products, growth of agricultural production in the long run, gradual increase in agricultural exports and diversification, growth of the share of value-added products. In addition, there are potential threats to food security that need to be taken into account when formulating agricultural foreign trade policy. To ensure the balance and sustainability of the domestic food market, in line with the global trends, it is necessary to take into account the factors that determine the sustainability of the global food market, namely the factors of supply and demand and market conditions. The purpose of the article is to study the development process of the domestic agricultural market of Ukraine, taking into account the influence of the world food market and identify risks and prospects for its development under the impact of external factors. Research methods: general scientific and special, qualitative and quantitative, theoretical (descriptive analysis) and empirical (work with official documentation, study of legislative acts). Formed mainly under the impact of the world food market, the structure of agricultural production poses certain threats to both food and environmental security. Reducing livestock production may increase the country's import dependence, and the dominance of the two main groups of crops leads to soil depletion and a gradual decline in yields. This indicates the need to develop a diversified rational agriculture in the long run.
