Abstract: The article provides a statistical assessment of the competitiveness of domestic agriculture at all levels of its functioning: from the level of production of certain types of products and enterprises to the macroeconomic level. The competitiveness of the national agriculture, the dynamics and structure of food exports and imports were considered separately. In recent years, there have been a number of positive trends: the structure of exports is improving, due to the growth in its share of agricultural products; the share of imports is reduced due to the implementation of the import substitution strategy of the industry development, the competitive positions of domestic agricultural producers are being strengthened. A comparative analysis of the agrarian sector with other economic activities showed that despite the faster growth of GVA in agriculture and its efficiency, the overall impact on economic growth is limited due to the low share of the sector in the GDP structure. The study of mutual relations of the industry with the first and third spheres of the agro industrial complex allowed us to conclude that even now there are processes of seizure of income from the agrarian sphere, which certainly affects the resource potential of the industry and investment attractiveness. The necessity of studying competitiveness in the context of farm categories and territory is substantiated. Based on the cluster analysis, a conclusion was made about the target approach in the state agrarian policy, taking into account the specifics of the development of regions and the level of their competitiveness in the domestic and foreign markets.
