The production of agricultural machinery and equipment in Ukraine is one of the main sources of supplying the market with resources and facilities for agricultural production, but as of 2023, it does not fully meet its needs. According to the relevance of the subject matter, the purpose of the study was to investigate the trends in the development of the agricultural engineering industry in Ukraine in dynamics, the impact of military operations on it, and to work out effective ways to overcome their negative consequences. The following methods were used: dialectical, statistical and economic, graphical, index, correlation and regression analysis, empirical, comparative analysis, analytical forecasting, abstract logical, etc. The principles of regional placement of agricultural engineering enterprises are defined, depending on the availability of raw materials, energy and labour resources. The structure of enterprises in the industry by category is determined – most of them are small enterprises (85.8-91.5%), but the majority are employed by medium-sized enterprises (59.1-79.3%). Due to military operations, the number of active enterprises in the industry has decreased by about 30 units. The trend of reducing the production of tractors, combine harvesters, and some types of tillage machines in Ukraine and the reasons for its occurrence are revealed. The prospects of production of sowing equipment in Ukraine are substantiated. The index of identified comparative advantages of different countries by individual types of machinery is analysed, and it is found that in Ukraine only tillage machinery has a high level of advantages – 1.802 and has optimistic prospects for development. The paper defines a close correlation between the export and production of tractors in Ukraine in 2010-2021 (the corresponding correlation coefficient – 0.8982). Problems that hinder the development of the agricultural machinery industry are identified: inflation, disruption of logistics links and loss of suppliers, high prices for energy resources, etc. Recommendations for overcoming them are proposed: creating favourable investment conditions; implementing protectionist customs and tax policies for industry enterprises; evacuating them from the war zone. The proposed measures will contribute to the restoration, preservation, and progressive innovative development of the potential of agricultural engineering un Ukraine

Considering the lack of elevator capacities and the imbalance in the distribution of commodity flows due to the occupation and blocking of seaports, other modes of transport are currently unable to provide the required volumes of grain for export, and the safety of the harvest is under threat. Therefore, the issue of logistics development in war conditions is urgent, which determines the relevance of the study. The purpose of the study is to analyse the pre-war and current state of the grain logistics system and to identify efficient ways of its development during the war and after its end. The study is based on the following methods: dialectical, historical, monographic, abstract-logical, systematic and classification, analytical forecasting, statistical, economic, economic-mathematical, and graphical. Investigated the length of roads in Ukraine and forecasted the reduction of roads due to military operations. The analysis of exportimport logistics was performed, and the advantages of maritime transport were determined, the share of which in exports was 99.5%, and in imports, the majority of transportation was by rail (44.9%). The state of elevator capacities was explored, the lack of which in 2021 amounted to 18.3 million tons (17.4%), the volume of their losses due to hostilities in 2022 was determined – 12.6 million tons (22.2%), the impact of the war on the growth of prices for grain storage services was analysed. A critical analysis of the infrastructure projects of the National Council for the Restoration of Ukraine from the Consequences of the War is performed and identified their disadvantages. The proposed measures to improve logistics will allow for reducing the lack of elevator capacities, increasing grain exports, accelerating the movement of products across the border and reducing logistics costs. The results of the research can be used by public authorities in the establishment of programs for the development of agrarian logistics, business structures – for the development of infrastructure projects and improvement of logistics systems of enterprises, scientists – for further investigation of grain logistics problems and determining the prospects for its development.

The production of agricultural machinery is one of the main factors in the functioning of the market and a source of material and technical support for agricultural production. The following methods were used in the study: dialectical, monographic, statistical and economic, graphical, index, correlation and regression, etc. The principles of regional location of agricultural machinery enterprises depending on the availability of metallurgical base, energy and human resources are determined. The negative impact of the war on the reduction in the number of active enterprises in the industry is determined, namely, a reduction by 30 units in 2022 compared to 2021. The general tendency of the industry's enterprises to become unprofitable until 2017 (loss of UAH 35.2 million in 2016) was identified. Thanks to a program of partial compensation for the cost of equipment, the industry has become profitable since 2017 (UAH 849.3 million in profit in 2021). The tendency to reduce the production of tractors, combines, and plows is identified, and the reasons for this tendency, including the loss of markets in the CIS countries, are indicated. The prospects for the production of sowing equipment are determined. The index of revealed comparative advantages of different countries for certain types of equipment is analyzed; in Ukraine, only tillage equipment has a high level of advantages – 1.802. The correlation and regression relationship between the production and export of tractors from 2010 to 2021 is quite high r = 0.8982 and R2 = 0.8069, respectively. The problems that hinder the development of the agricultural machinery industry are identified: inflation, disruption of logistics links and loss of suppliers, high energy prices, etc. The author proposes strategic directions for the development of agricultural machinery in Ukraine: creation of favorable investment conditions; implementation of protectionist customs and tax policies for enterprises in the industry; evacuation of enterprises from the combat zone. The proposed measures will contribute to the preservation and restoration of the Ukrainian agricultural machinery industry.
