Introduction. With the beginning of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, the logistic chains of both import and export of agricultural machinery products were radically changed. Some of the enterprises that produced agricultural machinery in the east and south of Ukraine were temporarily occupied, while others were destroyed by the enemy occupation forces. Imports of machinery and spare parts increased significantly. The purpose of the study is to determine the capabilities of agricultural machinery in Ukraine to satisfy domestic and foreign markets.
Materials and methods. The study is based on official data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the State Customs Service of Ukraine, analytical data, reports of international statistical and marketing organizations, results of scientific research by domestic and foreign scientists. General scientific methods were used - analysis, comparison, generalization of information, statistical and economic analysis, expert assessments.
Results and discussion. Agricultural machinery manufacturing in Ukraine suffered serious losses as a result of the war, which led to the destruction of enterprises and the destabilization of logistics chains. An analysis of the dynamics of production, consumption, export and import of products in 2017–2023 showed an increase in dependence on imports. At the same time, the industry retains significant potential for development, especially in the areas of production of elevator, irrigation and mounted equipment, as well as expanding its presence in international markets. To realize this potential, technological modernization, state support, investments in innovation and adaptation of products to European standards are necessary.
Conclusions. Agricultural machinery in Ukraine plays an important role in providing agriculture with the necessary products, in particular, irrigation and harvesting equipment, tractors and elevator equipment. Along with the presence of its own manufacturers, the Ukrainian market is represented by a significant number of imported agricultural machinery products, especially from the EU and the USA, which contributes to increased competition. The full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine negatively affected the development of agricultural machinery. Difficulties in logistics also negatively affected the production and export of agricultural machinery.
Promising markets for Ukrainian agricultural machinery include the markets of Eastern Europe, the European Union, and Central Asia. In addition, it is worth considering the possibilities of expanding cooperation with African countries, where Ukrainian products are already supplied, and the Middle East.
In the near future, the development of agricultural engineering in Ukraine will be most influenced by such factors as: the continuation of hostilities, domestic demand and conditions of foreign trade in Ukrainian agricultural engineering products, the state of the investment environment in the country, and effective cooperation with foreign partners.
