The article analyzes the institutional provision of resilience of the functioning of the mixed- feed market of Ukraine in the pre-war and post-war periods. On the basis of the conducted analysis, a periodization of the institutional support of the market was carried out with the allocation of four sub-stages in peacetime and wartime, which allows to study the evolution and transformation of formal institutions, their goals, the dominant direction of regulation and the influence on the development trends of the system adjacent to mixed-feed markets . It was emphasized that in 2022, regulatory measures were primarily aimed at ensuring the resilience of export and import flows of food products and mixed- feed products. In 2023, the planning of priority areas of processing of agricultural products will begin, including on mixed- feed. The purpose of institutional regulation is to ensure the resilience of internal market chains by activating their processing sectors. The expediency of applying the European market-reproducing approach to the development of formal institutions and the distribution of resources has been substantiated. It provides for the implementation of a set of related measures, stimulating the resilient development of all adjacent markets of the reproduction system, and their regulation in formal institutions. Considering the principles of providing international donor aid, the mechanism of its distribution in the system adjacent to the mixed- feed market has been modernized on the basis of the market-reproducing approach. The application of a set of criteria to the program participants makes it possible to purposefully form connections between priority groups of subjects, reduce flow "gaps" and ensure the resilience of the functioning of small and medium-sized market producers. The proposals have been developed for the improvement of formal institutions in the war and post-war periods, in particular, the Concept of the State Targeted Economic Program for the Development of Animal Husbandry for the period until 2033, the provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On the Safety and Hygiene of Fodder" No. 2264-VIII. The practical orientation of the obtained results is determined by the possibility of their use by state authorities of various levels in the course of justifying the institutional and economic mechanisms of selective regulation of the markets of animal feed and livestock products, the development of programs and strategies for the resilient reproductive development of commodity markets in the war and postwar periods.

The article presents the results of the research devoted to the institutional provision of the stability of the functioning of local milk and dairy markets in the conditions of wartime commodity and territorial restrictions. Differences in the functioning of local dairy markets in peacetime and wartime have been determined. It has been emphasized that the adaptation of local milk markets to conditions of instability and security risks, as a key component of market stability, requires the development and implementation of agreed institutional mechanisms and measures of selective regulation of local reproduction processes at the state, regional and local levels. Further development of the proposal to strengthen the responsible attitude of participants to the functioning of family dairy farms has been received. A model Regulation on the creation of the Register of Prospective Households has been proposed, which will make it possible to timely eliminate cases of inefficient functioning of family farms, significantly reduce the threat of self-sufficiency of local consumer demand for dairy products in the wartime period, and create favorable conditions for the entry of family farms into equal competitive relations with other market participants in the post-war period. Attention has been focused on the need to create a self-sufficient fodder base of local dairy markets by improving legal acts and provisions related to the simplification of access procedures for using the fodder base. Recommendations have been made regarding the formation of extended commodity chains for the production and sale of own dairy products within family dairy farms. An organizational form for increasing the effectiveness of the cooperation of the Ukrainian side with international charitable organizations and funds has been proposed on the basis of strengthening the coordinating role of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine with the aim of more uniform provision of assistance, increasing the level of cooperation with state and local authorities, and promoting the expansion of the participation of domestic enterprises in providing family farms with the necessary equipment, etc. The scientific novelty of the study consists in substantiating the priority directions for the use of institutional mechanisms and measures to ensure the stability of the functioning of local dairy markets on the basis of restoration, preservation and adaptation of the parameters of commodity traffic to the changing environment in the wartime period and the transition to balanced development in the postwar period.

The development of the national system of resilience, the implementation of the tasks of the post-war reconstruction Plan of Ukraine, one of the main goals of which is to achieve economic, social and environmental resilience; the formation of more sustainable supply chains necessitates the development of methodological support for resilience research in the latest conditions of challenges and threats. Market resilience, as a component of national stability, requires new scientific and methodological approaches to evaluation and management. The purpose of the article is to substantiate a methodological approach to the comprehensive assessment of the functioning of commodity markets on the basis of resilience, based on the study of the essence and interrelationships of market stability with national security, foreign experience of methodical assurance of state stability. The following methods were used: generalization, system analysis, induction, deduction, synthesis, grouping, abstract-logical. Four approaches to defining the essence of the "stability" category have been distinguished: systemic, socio-economic, ecological, security. The relationship between national security and the resilience of commodity markets as a catalyst for economic and environmental security has been substantiated. The foreign experience of methodological ensuring of the stability of states has been studied, in particular, the methodological approach to assessing the economic resilience of states by Lino Brigyglio and information panels of the stability of EU countries. Their peculiarities and common features have been established, in particular, prognostic nature, orientation to strategic forecasting in state policy, calculation of the general index of resilience for the ranking of states. The lack of indicators of market stability on the EU socio-economic resilience dashboard has been emphasized. The methodological approach to the comprehensive evaluation of the functioning of commodity markets on the basis of resilience in the duality of the conceptual and methodological bases has been justified. Its feature is the integration of resilience evaluation into the general system of product market diagnostics, the formation of a system of non-integrated indicators, divided into groups according to three approaches: reproduction, regulatory, and the concept of sustainable development. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the development of theoretical provisions of resilience in the market dimension, as well as in the development of methodological support for the comprehensive assessment of the functioning of commodity markets, the foundation of which is a conceptual basis as a synthesis of four scientific approaches, a set of principles, an extended system of non-integrated indicators that evaluate the reproduction and sustainable development of commodity markets, the effectiveness of their regulation with an emphasis on dynamics, time parameters and the context of the situation, as a methodical and analytical basis for state regulation of strategic commodity markets in conditions of instability.

The article substantiates that environmental sustainability is an important component of food system sustainability and resilience of states, which actualizes the need to develop new methodological approaches to its comprehensive assessment. It has been proposed to use indicators of resource and environmental productivity of gross value added (general and sectoral) to assess environmental sustainability in Ukraine, which allow to determine the ability of macro- and meso-level economic systems to produce value added with a neutral or positive impact on the environment in the conditions of resource constraints, challenges and threats to the security environment. It has been proved that the basic elements, the functioning of which should be ensured by the implemented national resilience system, have an environmental dimension. The study provides a comprehensive assessment of trends in resource use (on the example of water, energy and land resources) by sectors of the Ukrainian economy on the basis of environmental sustainability and sustainable development. The assessment of water resources consumption revealed both positive and negative trends, which indicates uneven progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. The dynamics of the group of general indicators characterizing water use efficiency is positive. In the reporting year, the lowest levels of sectoral water productivity of gross value added were in the electricity sector and agriculture. The assessment of the sustainable use of energy resources in Ukraine showed a low level of implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2020, the highest level of energy productivity of gross value added was inherent in agriculture, and the lowest in the energy and water supply sectors. A comprehensive assessment of land use revealed multi-vector trends in sustainable development. In the pre-war period, there was a significant increase in the volume of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers applied and the area of organic land. The organic market is characterized by a dominant export orientation of domestic organic raw materials and a low degree of their processing in Ukraine. The expected trends in resource use in the wartime and postwar periods have been determined through the prism of strategic priorities of postwar state development. In the post-war period, as economic entities resume their activities, a moderate increase in the consumption of water and energy resources, renewed growth trends in water and energy productivity of GDP, and electricity production from renewable sources in accordance with the priorities of the country's "green" transition have been expected. Sustainability of the domestic organic market will be facilitated by the formation of sustainable closed farm-to-table systems in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal, as well as the organization of processing of organic raw materials for the needs of domestic and foreign markets.

The article contains the results of research on the problems of optimization of state regulation in the retail trade in Ukraine. The trends in the development of retail trade in our country, the most important problems existing in this sector have been determined. The causes and consequences of the existence of unfair trading practices in the relationship between domestic retail chains and their suppliers have been clarified. The changes in the regulatory system in the EU associated with the adoption of Directive 2011/7 of 16 February 2011 on combating late payment in commercial transactions and Directive 2019/633 of 17April 2019 on unfair trading practices in n business-to-business relationships in the agricultural and food supply chain have been researched. Based on the analysis of the EU experience and the situation in our country, the necessity has been substantiated and the ways of transition to selective regulation of retail trade in Ukraine have been determined. Selective regulation provides for the purposeful influence of the state on the points of growth or gaps in commodity-financial flows in systems of vertically adjacent commodity markets. It has been proposed to limit administrative interference in the work of retail outlets, as well as to gradually reduce the scope of price regulation. At the same time, it is expedient to introduce regulation in certain areas where it has not yet been carried out. In particular, it has been proposed to establish a deadline for settlements under commercial agreements and prohibit unfair trading practices by implementing the norms of EU Directives 2011/7 and 2019/633 into domestic legislation. The necessity has been substantiated and the ways of improving the system of control over the activities of markets have been proposed. Measures have been proposed to make the rates for market services transparent and to force market owners to use registrars of settlement transactions and pay taxes. In order to accelerate the development of retail trade, it has been proposed to actively use economic mechanisms: supporting clusters, stimulating the expansion of branded trade, as well as facilitating the creation of self-regulatory organizations of entrepreneurs in the sector.

The article examines the relationship between key elements of national security systems and sustainability in the context of sustainable development. It has been emphasized that in the conditions of the war and post-war period, the target orientations of ecologically responsible production and consumption change through the prism of the tasks of national sustainability and security. Methodical recommendations for a comprehensive assessment of the social component of ecologically responsible production and consumption on the basis of sustainability and sustainable development have been developed. Using the author's methodical recommendations, a comprehensive assessment of the social component of ecologically responsible production and consumption in Ukraine in the pre-war period was carried out, the periodization of its development trends was carried out. During the evaluation, it was established that during 2015-2021, the number of people employed in the economy of Ukraine decreased by 5,1%, the average registered number of full-time employees in the sectors – by 12%.The level of the average monthly nominal salary of full-time employees increased by 21%, labor productivity – by 11,4%. In 2015-2019, the share of workers employed in jobs with harmful working conditions increased to 29,6%. Based on the results of a comprehensive evaluation, experts assessed the level of the social component of ecologically responsible production and consumption as lower than average. During the war period, changes in the structure of the labor market led to structural changes in the aggregate incomes and expenditures of households. We should also expect an increase in emissions of pollutants, including sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere as a result of hostilities. As the sectors resume their activity, the expected suspension of the trend of reducing the number of employed people, the creation of new jobs in the sectors prioritized for the post-war development of the country is expected. The study substantiates the strategic priorities of post-war economic recovery focused on ensuring food security, modernization of infrastructure and logistics, restoration of the housing stock, development of the medical and defense spheres, «green» economy, based on the principles of national sustainability. It has been emphasized that the strategic priorities of the country's post-war development will determine the devel)opment trends of the system of ecologically responsible production and consumption and its components in the post-war period. In the post-war period, a transitional model of state policy promoting the development of socially responsible business will be implemented, which will require institutional changes.

The article develops the theoretical and applied principles of state marketing in the market dimension, as a component of adaptive mechanisms of selective regulation of commodity markets in the conditions of instability. The theoretical essence of state marketing has been substantiated, the comparative characteristics of micromarketing and state marketing in the market plane have been conducted, the binary nature of its socioproductive purpose has been established: (1) definition, formation and satisfaction of consumer needs; (2) stimulation of product manufacturers to rationally satisfy the demand. In the conditions of existing sales and territorial restrictions, the task of ensuring the physical and economic availability of essential goods for the population is of primary importance. Today, in commodity markets, there is an imbalance between the purchasing power of the population, which is decreasing, and the rising prices of goods. In the post-war period, it is expected that the share of household food expenses will increase, the level of food consumption will decrease, and threats to the health of consumers will increase, causing the need for selective regulation of the consumer sector, including using of state marketing tools. With the help of adaptive marketing tools, the state is able to stimulate the supply of essential goods to ensure the production and consumption needs of the country in terms of quantity, quality and structure. It has been substantiated that in order to reduce existing foreign trade imbalances in the post-war period, it is advisable to gradually introduce adaptive mechanisms and state marketing measures. The essence of the main tools of state marketing to support national exporters of processed goods has been defined, taking into account foreign experience, in particular, tools of informational, sales, financial and communication support. It has been emphasized that in the conditions of instability, state marketing tools should be adaptive, i.e. they should flexibly and promptly modernize the system of state influence on market reproduction processes, as well as form adaptive systems of commodity markets that are able to influence the parameters of reproduction processes.

The article is devoted to the topical issue of ensuring the stability of the functioning of the dairy market of Ukraine on the basis of using the potential of vertically adjacent markets. The stages of the functioning of the dairy market in the pre-war and post-war period were identified, key market trends were studied and systematized in terms of certain stages. The basic indicators of the relevant market were determined, in particular the capacity, the degree of market openness, the dynamics and structure of production, export and import volumes of the main types of dairy products, price ratios. In the pre-war period, two sub-stages were additionally identified: (1) the accumulation of negative trends in adjacent markets, which inhibited the effective development of the processing of dairy raw materials (until 2019); (2) a sub-stage of the further development of negative trends into a crisis state, which led to the stagnation of the relevant market (from 2020 to the beginning of the war). It has been emphasized that in the pre-war period, the strengthening of the negative influence of vertically adjacent markets on the processing sector of the dairy products market was due, first of all, to the lack of a systematic approach to the application of state regulatory measures to overcome crisis phenomena in the raw materials sector and to remove barriers to the entry of dairy products into food networks . During the war period, the priority direction of ensuring the stability of the functioning of the market through the formation of local networks of family dairy farms with a complete reproductive cycle of goods movement in small cities and districts with complex logistics far from milk processing enterprises was substantiated in case of disruptions in logistics relations with traditional suppliers of dairy products - milk processing enterprises. The scientific and applied principles of the creation of local centers for the processing and sale of dairy products to the local population have been developed, depending on the regional features of dairy farming. The scientific novelty of the obtained results consists of the study of the phasing of the effects of vertically adjacent markets on the stability of the functioning of the relevant dairy market and the determination of the conditions for the adaptation of markets to the peculiarities of the war period. The practical orientation of the scientific results consists of substantiating measures and tools for regulating vertically adjacent markets of dairy products in the conditions of localization of reproductive processes of commodity movement, which can be used by state and regional authorities in the course of improving the system of adaptive regulation of agro-food markets in the war and post-war periods.

The article has developed a set of adaptive measures to regulate the development of the main agrifood markets of Odessa region (markets of grain, grain and bread products, meat and dairy, оіІ and fat, fruit and vegetabie and juice products) in conditions of instability on the basis of selective and reproduction арproaches. The key ргоЫетs of development of strategic commodity markets have been identified, adaptive regulatory measures have been substantiated, purposefully focused on selective support of basic Iinks («growth points») and the formation of complete value chains to increase market value added. Particular attention has been paid to the supply of raw materials to processing enterprises, stimulating the cultivation of grain and oilseeds with specified quality parameters, the restoration of economic ties between the subjects of raw materials and processing Iinks of market chains. A distinctive feature of the meat and dairy and fruit and vegetabIe markets of the region is the dominant share of households in production. For these markets, the feasibility of forming multifunctional cooperatives, including cooperative processing plants and storage facilities for primary processing and storage of product has been substantiated. To form complete value chains in the region, selective measures have been provided to support those processing enterprises that co-operate with multifunctional cooperatives. It has been emphasized that in the conditions of martial Iaw and post-war economic recovery it is expedient to export raw materials on a residual basis and to introduce reasonaЫe quotas for the export of strate- gic foods from Ukraine. Given the current trend towards redistribution of value added in favor of the trade sec- tor, a number of adaptive measures have been envisaged to form more parity interactions between agri-food producers and trade networks of the region. It has been shown that the implementation of a set of adaptive measures with contribute to the resilience of agri-food markets, which, in turn, is the catalyst and foundation of food security of the state and its regions. The set of regulatory measures proposed by the authors can be used by pubIic authorities and relevant institutions in the preparation of strategic documents on postwar economic recovery of the region and ensuring its food independence, as we11 as improving mechanisms for regulating commodity markets in volatile conditions.

The article proposes a methodical approach to a comprehensive assessment of national food security by links of the agri-food value chain on the basis of sustainable development. Methodical provisions for the assessment of food security in the agricultural sector (raw material link of the value chain) and a system of general and specific indicators have been developed, which has included national and author's indicators of sustainable development. The author's contribution to the evaluation system is determined by the general indicators of the sectoral resource and environmental capacity of gross value added, as well as structural indicators of investment support for the rational use of nature in the sector. On the basis of the developed methodical provisions the estimation of a condition of food safety in agrarian sector of economy of Ukraine has been carried out, tendencies and problems of its sustainable development have been defined. The low level of realization of tasks concerning investment and innovation maintenance of rational nature use in agrosphere has been established. Thus, the share of capital investments in environmental protection in the total capital investments of the sector is only 0.01%. The agricultural sector is one of the most water-intensive sectors of the national economy, according to the indicator of water intensity of gross value added, it ranks second. Among the sectors of the economy, agriculture is the smallest energy consumer and the least waste- and carbon-intensive sector. An expert and comprehensive assessment of the positioning of the agricultural sector according to its contribution to the sustainable development of the state has been carried out. It has been established that among the sectors of the economy the agro-sphere has the highest level of implementation of tasks on sustainable use of natural resource potential and reduction of eco-destructive impact on the state of the environment. The main directions of food security in the agricultural sector of Ukraine have been substantiated, in particular: growth of state expenditures on innovations in the priority thematic area «Problems of food security», incentives for agricultural producers to introduce resource-saving technologies and organic production, incentives to unite farms into organic cooperatives, development of infrastructure for waste processing, balancing of restrictive and compensatory methods and regulatory measures based on European practices.

The article is devoted to the development of the theoretical foundations for the formation of an institutional basis for the regulation of the process of commodity circulation in the system of commodity markets. The external and internal components of the institutional impact on the regulation of commodity circulation in the market have been highlighted. The conceptual approach to the regulation of commodity circulation at the stage of its description, achievement of commodity circulation standards, determination of options for using commodity circulation standards have been substantiated. At the stage of description, an integrated approach has been proposed with the combination of technological, economic and organizational types of relations between the constituent elements of commodity circulation. At the stage of standardization, a step-by-step scheme for the use of generalized conventional standards was developed, which takes into account the peculiarities of different types of markets. In this case, the sequence of actions includes: (1) defining a generalized model standard in accordance with the type of product market; (2) grouping of model standards according to targets of typical characteristics of commodity circulation; (3) comparison of conventional standards with the real conditions of the logistics service of commodity flows; (4) highlighting problematic conventional standards that are not met by the current conditions of logistics services for goods movement; (5) development and use of institutional instruments for the implementation of model standards of commodity circulation. An innovative approach to institutional support for the regulation of commodity circulation standards in an unstable market environment has been proposed. An algorithm for the formation of universal supply chains for the provision of multivariate services has been developed. This algorithm assumes the sequential execution of the following actions: (1) determination of signs of variable parameters for servicing commodity deliveries; (2) selection of basic links in supply chains for the provision of universal services; (3) streamlining the relationship between the universal links in supply chains. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of the theoretical foundations for the formation of the logistic integrity of commodity markets based on a holistic approach. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the use of the theoretical basis of logistic integrity as a scientific basis for the development of regulations for individual commodity flows, taking into account the characteristics of the types of commodity markets.

The article is devoted to the substantiation of methodological support for diagnosing the impact of the household sector on sustainable development of the national economy in the coordinates of Sustainable Development Goals 1, 2, 6, 7, 10, 12. It has been emphasized that this methodological basis is a component of the general methodology economy. The basic functions of households in a market economy have been supplemented by environmental and social functions. A feature of the author's methodological support is the integration into the national system of indicators of sustainable development of a number of sectoral indicators that allow diagnosing trends in sustainable development of the household sector. Based on the developed guidelines, the impact of the institutional sector of households on the sustainable development of Ukraine's economy for 2015-2019 was diagnosed, which allowed to determine the place and role of this sector in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. Based on the diagnostic results, the main trends and problems of sustainable development of the household sector has been substantiated. Thus, a significant impact of households on the sustainable reproduction development of the agricultural sector of Ukraine has been established. In 2019, households produced almost 34 % of agricultural products, ensuring food security in the segments of fruits and vegetables and milk; at the same time, the indices of their products did not reach the target level of 2025. The values of the indicators of Sustainable Development Goals 1 «Overcoming Poverty» and 10 «Reducing Inequality» do not meet the targets of 2025, which is evidence of low implementation of these Goals in Ukraine. The study found that the household sector is the main polluter of water resources, generating almost 77 % of discharges of contaminated wastewater into water bodies of Ukraine. The share of the household sector in the total amount of generated waste is 1,3 % and has a downward trend. The solution to the problem of household waste management lies in the development of infrastructure for their processing and disposal. The applied value of methodological support and diagnostic results is determined by the possibility of their use by state and regional authorities, businesses and other stakeholders in the diagnosis of current trends and problems of sustainable development in the sectoral dimension, as an analytical basis for implementing adaptive mechanisms and regulation measures in conditions of instability.

The article substantiates the theoretical provisions of the implementation of the marketing component in the formation of mechanisms of logistic interaction in the system of product markets. The content of the «7R» concept has been clarified in the direction of differentiating logistics services into «active» and «passive». The «active» services include such services as the required product (right product), the specified quantity of the product, (right quantity), the specified delivery time of the product (right time), the required level of costs for the delivery of the product (right cost). Each of the listed services orients the logistics resource towards servicing one of the parameters of goods movement in the market. The rest of the services - the required place of supply (right place) and the required consumer (right customer) - are referred to as «passive» components of the «7R» concept due to the fact that they set target sales parameters (commodity, geographic), but do not provide their logistic implementation. The conclusion has been made about the expediency of introducing the concept of «7R» as a component in the theory of logistics marketing. In relation to contracting tools, centralized contractual forms of logistics interaction in combination with the use of logistics outsourcing tools have been identified as a priority. Attention has been focused on ensuring the same level of service for commodity deliveries between the links that operate in the outsourcing mode and the rest of the participants in the commodity circulation. An organizational chart of selective interaction between an outsourcer and a commodity producer has been proposed on the basis of the priority of the marketing component of the service concept of logistics marketing. New areas of the use of marketing in the processes of logistic interaction in relation to the stages of the product life cycle have been proposed. In relation to the stage of bringing goods to the market, directions of strengthening the role of the marketing component in reducing the time of trial deliveries by selecting retail chains based on the criterion of interest in diversifying the product range have been determined. For the maturity stage, attention has been focused on strengthening measures to counter competitors, in particular, by ensuring the stability of relations between producers and wholesalers and retail chains. At the recession stage, alternative options for logistic interaction were proposed in order to optimize the declining sales while minimizing the risks of premature complete abandonment of the goods.

The article is devoted to the empirical study of the indicators of value added and logistics costs in the chain of grain and bread products of Ukraine. The interlink ratios of the main efficiency indicators and reproduction disproportions in the development of the market chain have been determined. It has been established that as the degree of processing of products in the chain «wheat – flour – bread» increases, its level of profitability decreases with a simultaneous increase in the tax burden and changes in the structure of value added in the direction of increasing the share of wages and reducing specific gravity of profits. It has been proved that the link of bakery products production, playing an important social and tax role in the market system, lacks added value, which inhibits its reproduction development on an innovative basis. It has been emphasized that the unresolved problem of structural disparities in the chain of grain and bread products is gradually transforming this chain in the direction of reducing the completed processing cycle and migration of value added in the «shadow» spheres of processing units. The diagnostics of logistics costs in the unit dimension has been carried out, the logistics component of value added has been calculated for the first time, its greatest value and the growing trend in the raw material link have been established. Based on the inter- link balance of market chain efficiency indicators, their comparative analysis has been carried out and a number of inter-link inequalities have been identified as a basis for the introduction of adaptive mechanisms and measures to overcome reproduction imbalances in the value chain. Directions and measures of continuation of the market value chain in the context of achieving the goals of the National Economic Strategy until 2030 have been defined, namely: approval of effective technical regulation and market surveillance, gradual «de-shadowing» of the market chain links, stimulating flour exports, supporting domestic exporters in foreign markets.

The article is devoted to the substantiation of methodical support for the diagnosticis of ecological capacity (waste and carbon capacity) of the national economy in the sectoral dimension on the basis of sustainable development. It has been emphasized that this methodical basis is a component of the general methodology for diagnosing the dominants of investment and innovation policy of nature management of the national economy. A system of indicators for the diagnosticis of environmental capacity through the prism of the Goals and Objectives of Sustainable Development of the state with an emphasis on the sectoral and investment dimension has been proposed. On the basis of the author's methodical provisions, a quantitative and expert assessment of waste and carbon capacity of the Ukrainian economy for 2015-2019 was conducted, which allowed to identify sectoral differences in achieving the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goal 12 «Responsible consumption and production». Comparative analysis of waste capacity of the gross value added of different sectors of the economy, the impact of investment potential on the dynamics of environmental capacity indices of the national economy have been conducted. Against the background of the general trend of growth of the generated waste in Ukraine, the positive tendency of their reduction was inherent in agriculture and water supply sector, negative – in the extractive and food industries. The growing trend of the state indicator of waste capacity of gross value added is due to the increase in the volume of waste generated in the extractive industry. In the course of the research it was established that the direction of air protection is better provided with investments than the sphere of waste management. Expert assessment of the degree of implementation of sustainable development tasks in relation to reducing the environmental capacity of the national economy is average. Based on the diagnostics results, the main directions and ways to reduce the environmental capacity of Ukraine's economy have been substantiated, in particular: (1) stimulating the implementation of investment projects for the introduction of modern technologies for household waste processing on the basis of a publicprivate partnership; (2) implementation of EU directives in the field of waste management, including Directive 2006/21/EU «On waste management of the extractive industry»; (3) introduction of new measures for air protection on the basis of world practices. Emphasis is placed on the applied value of the proposed methodical basis for the implementation of the system of multilevel monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals in Ukraine.

The article is devoted to substantiation of theoretical bases of mechanisms of formation of effective logistics of commodity markets on the basis of the reproduction approach. There are four approaches to defining the essence of the economic category of «mechanism», namely: (1) organizational and coordination; (2) managerial; (3) evolutionary; (4) complex. Based on a comprehensive approach, the author's definition of the category «mechanism for the formation of efficient logistics of commodity markets» with an emphasis on the reproduction purpose of market logistics has been proposed. The comparative analysis of mechanisms of formation of market logistics of different types has been carried out: logistic interaction, managerial and complex. It has been emphasized that the implementation of a comprehensive mechanism involves a combination of organizational methods with socio-economic, administrative and institutional methods of influencing the object of management. The relationships and interactions of logistics mechanisms at the micro and macro levels, the interpenetration of different methods and ways of management in mechanisms of different types have been studied. It has been emphasized that the logistics component is integrated into certain organizational and economic mechanisms for managing the development of the national economy and its sectors. The state, as a regulator of commodity markets, forms the institutional environment and develops mechanisms for implementing economic, environmental and social policies that regulate the flow processes of commodity markets. The theoretical and methodological basis of the complex mechanism of formation of effective logistics of commodity markets has been developed. The expediency of the managerial influence of the state has been substantiated, on the one hand, on the logistical «gaps» of the flow processes of commodity markets to ensure their logistical integrity, on the other hand, on the leading links of strategic markets to optimize the structural construction of the market chain. Emphasis is placed on the cyclical nature of the process of diagnosis and regulation of «gaps» and the leading links in the chain, the importance of providing feedback between the subject and the object of control. Methodical provisions of diagnostics of efficiency of regulation of leading links of market chains on the basis of synthesis of reproduction and regulatory approaches has been developed.

The article is devoted to the substantiation of theoretical and methodical support for the identification and diagnosis of logistic «gaps» of flow processes in the chains of commodity markets on the basis of a reproducible approach and GAP-analysis. The study substantiates the feasibility of using special categories («logistic barrier», «bottleneck» and «point of logistic losses») to differentiate problem areas of logistics at the levels of their manifestation in the macrologistics system: chain – link – logistic operation. The author's definition of the category «logistic «gap» has been proposed, namely: the discrepancy between the actual and target values of the parameters of flow processes due to violation of optimal relationships between elements of the market chain, weakening (absence) of links and interactions between its links, which does not provide expanded reproduction of logistics and optimization of overall market value added. Emphasis is placed on the causes of «gaps» in the flow processes of the commodity market in the internal and external dimensions. An extended classification of logistic «gaps» in market chains has been developed by 9 features: (1) place of origin in the relevant chain; (2) types of flow processes; (3) the depth of influence on the functioning of the market chain; (4) causes; (5) chain structure; (6) forms of connections between links; (7) the ratio of supply and demand; (8) the geographical boundaries of the chains; (9) adaptation of market chains to measures of state support of logistics. The nature and features of «gaps» of different types, forms of their manifestation in the chains of agri-food markets of Ukraine have been determined. It has been established that the most common type of GAP in the chains of commodity markets are interlink «gaps», primarily combined, ones, which have a multifaceted typology. A methodical approach to GAP diagnostics has been proposed, which provides for ranking «gaps» in the parameters of flow processes of the commodity market according to the degree of their importance for the effective functioning of market chains and determining the limits of «gaps» using the method of expert assessments. Based on the proposed methodological approach, GAP has been defined in the parameters of sustainable logistics in Ukraine, the unevenness of achieving the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goal 12 «Responsible consumption and production» has been established. It has been emphasized that exceeding the GAP limit levels is an analytical basis for a systematic diagnosis of their causes and justification of mechanisms and measures for their leveling, taking into account the specifics of the «gap» and the type of market chain.

The article is devoted to the substantiation of methodical support for a comprehensive assessment of labor resources in the field of nature management in Ukraine on the basis of the concepts of sustainable development and human-centric approach. This methodological basis is a component of general methodological recommendations for a comprehensive assessment of the dominants of investment and innovation policy of nature management of the national economy, developed by the scientists of the Institute of Market Problems and Economic and Environmental Research of the NAS of Ukraine. A system of indicators for diagnosing the state and use of labor resources through the prism of the Goals and Tasks of Sustainable Development of the state with an emphasis on the structural and sectoral dimension has been proposed. Based on the author's methodological provisions and recommendations, a quantitative-qualitative and expert assessment of the use of labor resources in the field of nature management of Ukraine for 2013-2018 was conducted. The current trends and problems of using the labor potential of the sectors of this sphere have been identified, in particular: (1) reduction of the number of employees in the field of nature management, except for the agricultural sector; (2) lower levels of wages in agriculture and the water sector compared to the state figure; (3) a high proportion of workers employed in hazardous work, especially in the mining industry. In the reporting year, the labor productivity indices of the sectors of nature management reached the targets of sustainable development in 2020. Expert assessment of the condition of use of labor resources in this area is average. Based on the results of the comprehensive assessment, the main directions and ways to increase the efficiency of labor resources in the field of nature management of Ukraine have been substantiated, in particular: (1) introduction of innovative technologies in the field of labor protection to create safe working conditions for employees; (2) implementation of a set of measures for the efficient use of labor resources and increase of labour productivity; (3) implementation of inclusive development strategies in economic sectors; (4) ecological modernization of enterprises in the field of nature management. The introduction of these areas will simultaneously contribute to the implementation of social and environmental priorities of investment and innovation policy of nature management in Ukraine.

The article is devoted to the substantiation of theoretical and methodological support for a comprehensive assessment of the dominants of investment and innovation policy of nature management of the national economy on the basis of the concepts of sustainable development and innovative «quadro-spiral». The conceptual and categorical apparatus of the research has been improved, a methodological approach to a comprehensive assessment of policy dominants has been developed, combining conceptual and methodological bases. The purpose, principles and methodological provisions for a comprehensive assessment of dominants of policy with an emphasis on the sectoral-structural dimension have been substantiated. Six dominants (strategic priorities) of investment and innovative policy of nature management have been defined: (1) sufficient investment provision of rational nature use; (2) optimal redistribution of investments between types of environmental measures and sectors of the economy; (3) stimulating of investment support for innovative activities in nature management; (4) restoration, sustainable use and protection of components of the natural resource potential of the national economy; (5) reducing of the eco-destructive impact of the socioeconomic system on the environment; (6) improving the environmental aspects of the quality of life of the population. For each dominant, the corresponding groups of evaluation indicators have been proposed. On the basis of the developed methodological support the diagnostics of three dominants of nature management policy connected with the use of investment and innovative potential of Ukraine has been carried out, modern trends and problems of its use have been determined. In particular, there are negative trends to reduce the share of environmental investment in GDP, the share of budget expenditures on environmental protection, the volume of investment in research and development of environmental protection, capital investment in waste management measures. The main subject of investment and innovative policy of nature management in Ukraine are industrial enterprises, which finance almost 90% of the total costs of environmental protection and the introduction of most environmental innovations in economic practice. The results of the comprehensive assessment showed a low degree of implementation of dominants of policy. The expediency of balancing coercive-restrictive and stimulating-compensatory methods of regulation in the course of improvement of investment-innovative policy of nature management in Ukraine has been substantiated.

The article is devoted to substantiation of methodical maintenance for diagnostics of efficiency of functioning of market chains on the basis of synthesis of four scientific approaches: reproduction, regulatory, concepts of the diagram of balanced advantages and sustainable development. The logical sequence of formation of the system of balanced indicators in relation to the conceptual basis and stages of evaluation procedures has been established. It has been proposed to unite the set of indicators into five groups, which in their economic content tend to a certain concept and at the same time are connected by a single target – expanded reproduction of commodity movement in the market and optimization of total value added in the chain. A number of requirements for diagnostic indicators have been substantiated. The components of the system of balanced indicators in five areas of diagnosis have been considered: (1) the formation, redistribution and structure of value added; (2) resource efficiency (material and labor) and time parameters of the chain; (3) the power of internal and external material flows in the market chain; (4) trends in the sustainable development of logistics chains; (5) the quality of logistics services in the market. The components of the group of diagnostic indicators have been analyzed, the expediency of their inclusion in the system has been substantiated. A number of author's indicators have been offered, in particular, reproduction profitability, logistic component of added value, link structure of logistic expenses, coefficients of discrimination of export and domestic prices and others. In total, the developed system included 57 indicators that are linked to the integrated purpose of the market chain through a chain of causation. The main advantages of the methodological support are the following: (1) comparative analysis of efficiency indicators between different links of the chain, which allows to determine logistical «gaps»; (2) assessment in the logistical dimension of current market economy trends; (3) high regulatory capacity of indicators, the possibility of their use as an analytical basis for management decisions. The users of the author's methodical provisions are market subjects, profile and state institutions, other stakeholders interested in the development of market logistics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
