The article outlines the features of the development of agricultural legislation of Ukraine aimed at regulation of agricultural financialinterventions with grain. Since 1995, there have been several legislative attempts in Ukraine to introduce state intervention procurementof agricultural products, primarily grain, but no effective mechanism for such operations has been introduced. The enshrinementin agrarian legislation of the model of agricultural interventions through the organized agricultural market, in particular the Agra -rian Exchange, deprived access to this form of state support and the method of selling grain to small and medium-sized producers. Stateagrarian interventions were not fully funded by the state. Significant defects are also inherent for the legal regulation of financial interventionswith grain. Proposals of agrarian law science to improve the legal regulation of agrarian interventions based on the internationalexperience were ignored by the legislator.The author argues that the exclusion in December 2020 from the Law of Ukraine «On State Support of Agriculture of Ukraine»of the provisions, regulating such a form of state agricultural support as agricultural interventions, is unfounded and premature.The article conducts a comparative legal study of agricultural interventions in Ukraine and the EU, as a result of which the proposalsto restore the provisions of agrarian interventions in the Law of Ukraine «On State Support of Agriculture of Ukraine» are substantiated.At the same time, legal regulation should be based on an updated model of agricultural interventions, which has to be basedon the EU regulations in this area, in particular: a) stabilization of the agricultural market in the mode of state intervention, primarilyoff-exchange trade; b) enshrining in the legislation of Ukraine a separate rule on the quality of products, offered for the interventionprocurement; c) the formation of minimum volumes of consignments of agricultural products, sold under state interventions.
