Prospects for the development of organic production in Ukraine under the European green deal
The transition to organic agricultural production is a requirement of the time given the deteriorating environmental situation in the world. Currently, Ukraine is one of the most powerful producers and exporters of agricultural products in the world, and the reorientation of organic agricultural production will strengthen and consolidate its position in the world market. The purpose of the research is to perform a comprehensive description of the general state of development of organic agriculture in Ukraine in the context of the new green course of the European Union and to substantiate possible prospects. Research methodology. In the course of the research, the following methods were applied: regulatory and legal analysis (when making a comparison between the regulatory component of Ukraine and the European Union); scientific abstraction (when forming a hypothesis of the further algorithm of organic product development in terms of institutional and practical component); scientific analysis (when assessing the degree of willingness of organic production in Ukraine to implement the conditions defined by the Council of Europe regulations). Research results. The problems of Ukrainian legislation in the sphere of production and sale of organic products are analysed, and the ways and sequence of elimination of the existing shortcomings are outlined for the decision in the EU countries to significantly increase the area under organic production by 2030, the question of the impact of such a decision on the further prospects of development of this field in Ukraine in the long term is raised. Therefore, the market aspect was analysed, reflecting the existing indicators of the market situation of organic food, strengths and weaknesses were identified from the standpoint of production and market. In addition, the key provisions of the Council of Europe resolution on the adoption of the “green course” were assessed. In this regard, the advantages and disadvantages of Ukraine as one of the largest exporters to the European Union countries were established. The opportunities that the country has received for further development of organic agriculture and its efficient functioning have been identified. Elements of scientific originality. The algorithm for achieving the purposes of the Green Deal in the European Union, and the degree of willingness of Ukraine in the institutional and industrial aspects to implement the provisions of the adopted resolution. Practical significance. Despite the positive individual changes in organic production in Ukraine, there are serious institutional problems that require immediate and efficient solutions, in particular, in the field of legislation and standardisation of organic products
