“…Scienti¿ c publications on the problems of forming and managing the agro-food chains in the 2000s were rather sporadic, as the main attention was paid to them during the previous periods, which formed a belief about practically complete exhaustion of their possibilities. But as early as since the 2010s both Ukrainian and foreign scientists, especially domestic practical experts, started their active search for the solution to the problem of chains [1][2][3][4][5]. Market environment requires each participant of the agro-food chain to be capable of collective and urgent response to the À uctuations in the market requirements, including operational ef¿ ciency and quality of supplies, wide assortment of products, providing with information about the origin and ways of production, etc.…”

Modern trends of agro-food provision are summarized with the systematization of the factors of external and internal environment, which affect the innovativeness of agro-food chains. The tendencies are highlighted and the transformational processes in the agrarian sector of Ukraine, which conditioned the destruction of eco- nomic relations and the breakdown of technological links of agro-food chains, the deterioration of the indices of safety and quality of agricultural raw materials and fi nal food products, are disclosed. The challenges for the functioning of dairy products chain are analyzed with the substantiation of the fact that the process of introduc- ing the complex of innovations and systemic methods of safety should cover all the actors involved, all the sec- tors and elements of production which ensure the safety and quality of agricultural raw materials and fi nal food products. It was proven that the trends of using innovations in the dairy farming should be the achievements in the fi eld of selecting cattle and fodder crops, modern technologies of forming and restoring the livestock to provide for the increase in its resistance and competitiveness. It was substantiated that it is an urgent issue for milk processing enterprises to implement technological innovations and to form long-term partnership relations with the suppliers of raw materials in order to diversify their product portfolio and offer quality and safe dairy products. It was substantiated that the functioning of agro-food chains will be conducted under the impact of environmental challenges which requires creating the conditions and prerequisites for a higher level of their flexibility to innovations, where the priority role should be attributed to state-private partnership in the elaboration and implementation of technologies.

The peculiarities of creation and functioning of agro-food chains based on the study of scientific works were generalized, which allowed to establish a variety of approaches to the definition of agro-food chains and their structure. The study describes the understanding of agribusiness supply chains based on global and local approaches to their functioning, and the "smart" supply chain of agro-food. The main flows in the agro-food chain have been identified, namely: physical (agricultural raw materials, agro-food, logistics operators etc.), information, financial flows, as well as knowledge and experience of management. The purpose of the article is to synthesize scientific approaches to understanding the concept of supply chain and agro-food chain in domestic and foreign practice, systematization of the principles and basic business processes of their functioning, as well as identification of the main factors of the external and internal environment of their functioning in modern conditions. It is highlighted that the main approaches to the interpretation of the supply chain are process and object approaches, both in foreign and domestic practice. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of the functioning of global agro-food chains, which are not considered by academics as buyer-seller relations in the open market, but as coordinated chains of interactions that occur under the influence of key agents in these chains. These leading global chain members control other members of the chain, which has led to increased pressure, primarily on agricultural producers and processors. The scientific opinions on the understanding and specificity of the functioning of alternative supply chains of agro-food, which give rise to economic, social and / or environmental benefits, are generalized. The directions of development of local agro-food chains in domestic conditions and their influence on creation of competitive rural territories are grounded. The factors of the external and internal environment of functioning of agro-food chains and the directions of influence of their changes on the stability of their development, in particular, globalization of climate change, innovation development, and others, are systematized. The necessity of developing additional adaptations to the listed changes in other sectors – transport, storage and energy systems – has been proved, which actualizes the need for strengthening integration and cooperation between the participants of the supply chain. The main goals of the functioning of agro-food chains are highlighted: increase of competitiveness of products, achievement of economic interests of all participants of chain, sustainable development of rural territories, more efficient satisfaction of needs of end users. Achievement of these goals can only be achieved on the basis of observance of the principles of sustainable development and innovation of the chain, resource-saving development of production activities. It is emphasized that the question remains, both in practical and methodical aspects, as to the distortion of the information flow in agro-food chains, especially in chains with a large number of participants and numerous connections between them. In domestic practice, the issue of improving the quality and safety of agri-food products in agricultural supply chains needs to be actualized. Key words: supply chain, agro-food chain, global chains, local agricultural chains, demand chains, logistic chains, "smart" chains.

The article considers the peculiarities of the formation of intersectoral relations in the agro-food complex of the country, taking into account their impact on the creation of value added by type of economic activity. The need to ensure the principle of equivalent intersectoral exchange and components that contribute to the increase of value added has been proved. It is established that during 2010-2018 the value of gross agricultural output in the prices of the reporting year increased 4.6 times, but in comparative prices in 2016 there was an increase of only 1.41 times, which is evidence of the impact of inflation. It is determined that the share of the processing industry in 2010-2018 in the structure of gross domestic product decreased by 5.8%, which is an unfavorable factor in terms of opportunities for value added. There was an increase in the share of agri-food exports in the structure of total exports compared to 2018 by 5 percentage points, the largest increase in supplies of crop products, which occurred due to the imbalance of relations between producers and processors of agricultural products. It is estimated that during 2010-2018 in agricultural enterprises gross value added increased 6 times, in households - 3.4 times. It is substantiated that there is an increase in the volume of unearned gross value added of business entities in the field of agriculture during the study period from the violation of the equivalence of intersectoral relations, which exacerbates the crisis in the industry. It is established that in basic prices the volumes of production of gross value added of the food industry increased for the period of 2000-2018 almost in 1,7 times, and with use of a deflator only by 50%. The growth of the share of GVA in trade in the overall structure of gross value added is proved, which indicates the strengthening of its role in the formation of value added of agri-food. The calculation of the change in the value of airborne forces using the deflator proves a slight increase, which suggests the effect of inflation on the value of the indicator. It is generalized that unfavorable conditions for the formation of gross value added due to inequality of exchange with the food industry and trade have been created for agriculture, which requires the introduction of the process of regulating the formation of gross value added of the agricultural sector. Keywords: intersectoral relations, agri-food chain, value added, agriculture, food industry, trade.
