The article provides economic indicators of the EU and Ukraine, in particular the share of agriculture and indicators of food exports and imports. The changes that took place have been analyzed in the land market and in general in the market of agricultural products of Ukraine, and it was found that during 2015-2019 there was a negative trend of decreasing economic efficiency of agricultural production. It is concluded that the level of profitability of production of horticultural, grain and legume crops tends to decrease. It was found that the structure of exports of Ukrainian products is dominated by crop products, and the share of livestock products is insignificant. Noted that the increase in the value of exports of agricultural goods over the past three years is positive and the most profitable now will be the export of truffles from Ukraine to EU countries. According to FAOSTAT (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), namely the indicators of profitability and production of truffles, a conclusion was made on the competitiveness of Ukrainian truffles in the EU market. It has been determined that the agricultural sector activity has positive and negative moments in the territories of Ukraine. It has been concluded that the Ukrainian government has to focus on a policy aimed at balancing the tax burden, introducing certification for the European market.
