Considering the insufficient usage of natural resources, ecological crisis, rising population and limitations of the traditional food system in the 21st century, it is extremely important to search for methods to achieve sustainable development. In this context, the search for alternative methods of farming and the transformation of typical food consumption is relevant; the organic market and its features are of particular interest. Based on the above, this article is dedicated to understanding what the development opportunities for the production and export of Ukrainian organic products within the global market are. To achieve this objective, it became necessary to study the specificities of the dynamic growth of the global organic food market, which includes identifying the dominant factors of its development, peculiarities of its regulation, evaluation of the current state, main trends and prospects. The study provides the characteristics of the top competitors in the global market, consumer segmentation and experience of the implementation of global and national organic sector development and support programs. As a result of the study, it was found that Ukraine has unrealized export potential that can be realized using a combination of practices used abroad (the active use of marketing tools, state support for the organic sector and increasing organic production by uniting producers into clusters and creating cooperatives).

18 Mart 2020 р.ASYMMETRY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WORLD AGRICULTURAL MARKET(452,1 KB) Downloaded : Яценко Ольга Миколаївна Type of publication : Discipline : Paradigms of Regional Development: Theory and Policy Link: /en/Information_for/students/metod/kstat&act=p_id(9091)Abstract. It was determined that urgent in the 21st century the problem of food security
remains quite due to the dynamic of global and trade-integration processes, causing contradictions
and asymmetries of economic development. These processes are rather ambiguous because they
exert varying effects on countries, depending on the level of their economic development. Such
imbalances have led to asymmetries in the development of the World market for agricultural
products. It was noted that asymmetries in the agrarian market are a clear manifestation of
imbalances in the World economy, which have arisen due to differences in the levels of economic
development and the potential of individual regions and countries.
The purpose of the work was to reveal the key characteristics and manifestations of the
asymmetric development of the World market for agro-food products and to justify the mechanisms
for achieving equilibrium. The purpose of the scientific research is to substantiate the impact of
asymmetries on the World economic system, to determine their role in the development of the
World agro-food market, their characteristics, to study the structure of the global market.
The following methods of scientific research were used to achieve the goal and to solve the
tasks of the article: system-structural analysis of economic processes and phenomena, method of
quantitative and qualitative comparisons, tabular method of calculating the degree of influence. A
review of the scientific literature was also conducted; the statistical reports and programs of
development of global international institutions were analyzed; approaches to leveling the negative
impact of asymmetries in the development of the agrarian market were determined.
The scientific novelty of the obtained results is to study the World agro-food system, to
identify and to structure the main asymmetries of development, the determinants of their deepening,
to substantiate the directions of their overcoming.
It is substantiated that among the main mechanisms of overcoming the asymmetric
development of agro-food market the most effective one is the activity of international
organizations, mainly concentrating on the development and implementation of local and global
projects and programs. In order to overcome the threats and risks arising from the asymmetric
development of the agri-food markets, it is advisable to create international initiatives to support the
agricultural sectors and agricultural enterprises of various organizational and legal forms. An
effective mechanism to counterbalance the negative impact of asymmetries is to reduce the
inequalities in the economic development of individual regions and countries through the
implementation of development programs.
Keywords: world agro-food system, agro-food market, asymmetries, world economy,
globalization, international trade.

18 Mart 2020 р.Trade and economic integration dominants in North America countries’ interaction(807,5 KB) Downloaded : Яценко Ольга Миколаївна Type of publication : Discipline : Paradigms of Regional Development: Theory and Policy Link: /en/Information_for/students/metod/kstat&act=p_id(9092)Abstract. Under the conditions of deepening economic globalization and changes in regional integration unions functioning, formation and support of mutually beneficial and effective cooperation between countries is an important issue. Despite geographic proximity, cultural similarities and high efficiency of economic interactions, current state of the US-Canada trade cooperation worsens due to the ambitions of the USA as a global economic leader, alongside with unresolved trade disputes and increasing deficit of trade in goods and services. According to the analysis of the US-Canada external trade, it was concluded that due to long-lasting trade, the related supply chains have become highly integrated. The USA buys mostly raw materials and semi-finished products which are then used in
finished products designated for internal and external markets. A lot of them even are sold back to Canada. However, there is a controversy in the USA and Canada interests. The USA seeks, first of all, to keep the world leading economic positions, to expand duty-free market available for the sales of domestic producers etc. Canada intends to get rid of protectionist restrictions presumed in American legislation and, thus, to increase the competitiveness of its producers' of goods at the US markets. Estimating the coefficient of trade connectivity, which is bigger than 1, it was evidenced that both countries, in case of trade relations’ worsening or break, will be hardly reoriented on other partners. Our regression analysis shows that Canada’s GDP positively depends on Canadian exports to the USA, while the subsequent permanent increase in Canada’s exports to the USA is forecasted. However, it had been argued that the perspectives of future cooperation hardly depend on the results of negotiation regarding NAFTA reforming which turned into USMCA. Despite the positive conclusion of negotiations on NAFTA's reform and its transformation into USMCA/CUSMA, Canada still has to come up with a more rational policy in order not to become the fifty-first state of the US within the currency and, then, political union.
Keywords: globalization, regional integration unions, NAFTA, USMCA, coefficient of trade connectivity, exports, the USA, Canada.

18 Mart 2020 р.Global Risks of Trade and Economic Cooperation of Ukraine With Countries of the Northern American Region(424,1 KB) Downloaded : Яценко Ольга Миколаївна Type of publication : Discipline : Paradigms of Regional Development: Theory and Policy Link: /en/Information_for/students/metod/kstat&act=p_id(9093)As a result of the study, it was determined that global challenges and risks hinder the development of trade and economic cooperation
between countries. For Ukraine, which has faced geopolitical challenges, the development of partnership with the countries of North America, recognized global economy leaders, is essential in terms of realizing national interests and defending state sovereignty. From the ability of Ukraine to anticipate and minimize the effects of negative exogenous, through methods of economic diplomacy, and especially endogenous factors, to isolate their components and identify trends, turning the challenges into opportunities, will depend on the country's economic growth and increased efficiency of trade and economic cooperation. The purpose of the article is to assess the impact of global risks on the formation and implementation of trade and economic cooperation between Ukraine and the countries of North America on the basis of methodological approaches of leading international economic institutions and organizations. Critical for its possible consequences for Ukraine is the protectionist US global policy, cyberattacks, disinvestment of capital due to political instability, multi-directional integration intentions and steps, changes in global flows of goods and capital. The methods of scientific research that were used to achieve the goal and to solve the tasks of the article are the following: systematic structural analysis of economic processes and phenomena, method of quantitative and qualitative comparisons, table method of calculating the degree of risks influence. The scientific novelty of the results obtained is the study of the implementation of Ukraine's trade policy in relation to the countries of North America in the context of the need for its adjustment in view of the vulnerability to the influence of factors exogenous in nature. These exogenous factors are characterized by their division into global challenges and risks. The issue that was also covered in the study is which of the parties to trade cooperation will be more affected by external factors. It is substantiated that the fall in prices for food and metallurgical products, the appreciation of the dollar, which stimulates the growth of imports of North American countries, the inter-state conflict in eastern Ukraine have less impact on cooperation with the countries of North America than changes in the structure of the World economy, the initiative of the president of the United States "to turn back" business and production from abroad to the country and inconsistency of the current structure of industrial production in Ukraine with modern requirements of technological multifacetedness.

One of the key problems is low export efficiency determined by raw materials domination in the structure. The study aim was to ascertain a reorientation possibility of export commodity structure in order to reduce the raw materials part and increase the highly mar-ginal goods part. The methodology consisted in studying the character of reciprocal influence com-parison of different commodity groups volumes of agricultural produce using Verhulst’s function. As a result, parameters of optimal goods correlation were designed, and a number of highly margin-al goods and conceptual basis able to improve export efficiency were established.

It is noted that the unprecedented dynamic globalization of trade and economic
relations and the fourth industrial revolution cardinally transform the global distribution system of
the world economy, accompanied by the growing impact of global challenges and risks, the failure
to take into account the effects of which permanently reduces the efficiency of economic
functioning and international trade. For developing countries affected by geopolitical challenges,
the development of partnerships with countries that are recognized as global leaders in the world
economy is essential in terms of national interests and the promotion of state sovereignty.
The purpose of this paper is to characterize the impact of global risks on the formation and
implementation of trade and economic policies of countries based on the methodological
approaches of leading international economic institutions and organizations. Major global risks
have identified rising / falling prices for assets, oil or gas, changes in the structure of trade and
economic cooperation, terrorism, separatism, climate change, unemployment, income inequality,
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, cyberattacks, etc.
The following methods of scientific research were used to achieve the goal and to solve the
tasks of the article: systematic structural analysis of economic processes and phenomena, method of
quantitative and qualitative comparisons, tabular method of calculating the degree of influence.
The scientific novelty of the results is to study the processes of formation and
implementation of trade and economic policies of countries under the influence of exogenous
factors on them. The influence of exogenous factors is characterized not only according to the
sectoral classification (economic, geopolitical, technological, social and natural), but also taking
into account the degree of influence of the factor (global challenges and global risks) on the
environment.
It is substantiated that in the conditions of globalization of the world economy, the threats
receive a corresponding more serious nature. Therefore, government agencies need to develop new
effective tools for their minimization in order to prevent negative effects and to implement more
productive trade and economic cooperation with partner countries.
Key words: trade and economic cooperation, international trade, global challenges, global
risks, protectionist trade policy.

The article dwells upon the main stages of analyzing economic effects of the free trade area between countries, while reviewing
features of bilateral trade and economic cooperation between Ukraine and Canada in terms of global transformations. The article
identifies opportunities and threats as well as strengths and weaknesses of bilateral relations under contemporary integration
processes, while also providing substantiation of the promising areas of bilateral trade and economic cooperation between
countries.
The article comprises a gravity model and a forecast of quantitative indicators related to bilateral trade between Ukraine and
Canada for the period of up to 2021 developed by the authors based on this model. Using the gravity modeling method, the
impact of economic crisis manifestations in Ukraine and Canada on trade turnover between them has been assessed, while a
conclusion has been drawn that the greatest impact on bilateral trade is produced by Canada’s GDP, whereas the change in price
of logistical costs produces little effect on the turnover. The quantitative indicators of foreign trade between the two countries
have been forecast under two scenarios: without the free trade area and with the latter created in 2017. Under the first scenario,
a slight increase in trade turnover is expected due to the slow growth of GDP values both in Canada and Ukraine. Under the
second scenario, by 2021 the trade turnover between the countries will increase twice and amount to USD 411 million.
