The purpose of the research was to systematize knowledge about the effects of russian aggression as a colossal challenge for Ukraine's agriculture and to outline certain directions of development of this branch during the war and the post-war period. The subject of the study were phenomena taking place in Ukraine during the period of russian military aggression and are causing a number of negative consequences, including for agriculture as the basis of the country's food economy, the production of which constitutes the main share in its exports. The conducted research was based on the use of the descriptive-analytical method as well as inductive and deductive methods and the synthesis of the obtained results. The main result of the conducted research was the systematized knowledge about the effects of the russian invasion for the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy as a challenge for agricultural products producers and established trends in the development of the branch. The main challenges for Ukrainian agriculture during russian aggression are: destruction of equipment, buildings, biological resources, crops, animals, processing enterprises, energy facilities, product stocks, their theft; pollution of territories; ruination of port infrastructure and water reservoirs; seaports blocking. These challenges create a number of problems for agricultural products producers of different scales because of: lack of financial resources, rising prices of fertilizers, feed and other materials, reduction of the area of agricultural land because of its contamination and difficult access to fields and farms animals -- because of occupation of the area and its mining, reducing the number of farm animals, complication and increase in logistics cost.

Research background: Assessment of the positive and negative aspects of the concentration of agricultural production in Ukraine, including in the form of agricultural holdings, is very dynamic due to the dynamic macroeconomic conditions of doing business here. Purpose: The goal of the article is to present the results of research and an assessment of the consequences of the concentration of agricultural production in Ukraine through indicators of changes in the size and efficiency of agricultural enterprises. Research methodology: The research methodology is based on the general dialectic approach and includes the following methods: induction, monographic, graphical, grouping, analysis of dynamic series, and formalization of calculation algorithms. Results: Regularities of influence of the sizes of the agrarian enterprises on the efficiency of their functioning are revealed. The study showed that the concentration of production creates a number of strengths in agricultural production in the country as a whole which helps to solve certain social problems. However, the concentration of agricultural production does not increase the economic efficiency of enterprises. Novelty: The assessment of the consequences of large agricultural enterprises in Ukraine and the activities of agricultural holding companies has been differentiated. Previously made conclusions of other researchers on the consequences of the concentration in agricultural production has been clarified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
