The article examines the peculiarities of the formation of the food market of Ukraine
and trends in its development. The actual capacity of the domestic market for certain products
has been determined, taking into account the decrease in the average per capita consumption
of certain food products by the population and the reduction in the population of Ukraine. It
is established that the growth of gross output of agricultural products has improved the level
of self-sufficiency in food in Ukraine. Meeting the needs of the population in food, within its
purchasing power, is almost entirely provided by domestic products, except fruits, berries, and
grapes. The level and dynamics of import dependence of the food market as a whole and in
the context of individual product groups are determined.
