Description:... The current state of development of the domestic economy is characterized by its crisis nature caused by the influence of external and internal environment factors. In the context of the economic crisis, the degree of market uncertainty is sharply increasing, which negatively affects the activities of individual enterprises, the industry and the economy of Ukraine as a whole. These problems are particularly acute for agricultural enterprises, since they must take into account both the peculiarities of the competitive (market) environment and the specifics of the industry. That is why there is a need to analyze the theoretical and analytical foundations of marketing activities of agricultural enterprises with a view to identifying the main ways to increase the efficiency of marketing measures to improve their economic activities. In the period of formation of market relations, Ukrainian enterprises faced a number of serious problems both at the macro and micro level. Nowadays, the marketing activities of an agricultural enterprise must develop harmoniously and, in the face of instability, have a developed strategy for survival in a situation that will ensure stable functioning in the market. At present, there are many types of enterprise strategies that have historically been formed during the period of marketing formation of enterprise activities, but in order to develop an enterprise's own strategy, it is necessary to take into account a large number of factors that are dynamic in space and time, including the regulatory and methodological regulation of the process of forming a marketing strategy. The result of the study is the development of proposals for improving the regulatory framework, which directly affects the formation of the marketing strategy of agricultural enterprises. In the course of the study, the author improves the technology of forming an enterprise's marketing strategy as a set of interdependent mechanisms, tools and processes, which, unlike the existing ones, provides for achieving the strategic goals of marketing activities by an economic entity on the basis of selection and choice of alternative options for its implementation. The article proposes to consider the main factors influencing the implementation of the marketing strategy at enterprises of Khmelnytskyi region, as well as the regulatory and methodological directions for improving marketing activities at the macro and micro levels. It is also proposed to use the methodology for determining the impact of macroand micro-environment factors on the marketing activities of agricultural enterprises The implementation of strategic development of agricultural enterprises on a market basis, strengthening of competition, and integration into the global economic space give priority to the effective functioning of agricultural producers. In a market environment, the economic efficiency of agricultural market participants largely depends on the development of effective marketing strategies for agricultural enterprises, the implementation of a flexible pricing policy, the organization of optimal sales channels for agricultural products, the ability to navigate the environment and anticipate major development trends. In the market environment, demand plays a decisive role, and supply of agricultural products is organized in relation to it. Prioritizing supply involves elements of risk and uncertainty. Therefore, the formation and development of the marketing strategy of agricultural enterprises is particularly relevant. It is also worth noting that in Ukraine there are practically no scientifically based approaches to the development of the marketing strategy of agricultural enterprises, its formation and practical use in the market environment. At the beginning of a full-scale war, during a period of chaos and uncertainty, the vast majority of businesses, companies, and brands became virtually helpless, as traditional approaches to marketing lost their meaning. In the first days of the war, social media were filled with pre-war information against the backdrop of military realities, which looked rather incorrect. At that time, most companies refused to interact with customers and chose a wait-and-see strategy, but once they recovered, they began to return to work. Our society was in crisis even before the Russian invasion, and having barely overcome the powerful waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were gradually adapting to the new realities of life. Even before the full-scale war, Ukrainians had been learning to adapt to stressful conditions, resulting in new consumption trends (living now, even in the face of instability; not putting anything off for later; getting your life together and forcing changes in traditional habits). During any shocks, both during the COVID-19 pandemic and in wartime, it is worth remembering the need to apply a meaningful, aggressive and effective corporate marketing policy in your practice. Traditionally, marketing demand has been driven by overproduction and oversupply in a highly competitive market. However, it is necessary to understand that any fundamental change in the market environment (crisis, pandemic, war) will lead to the main problem that a business owner will face - the limitation of the solvency of market demand in the quantitative and value categories. Accordingly, on the one hand, companies will face problems with product sales, sales and profit margins, and on the other hand, aggressive behavior of competitors with a limited market size. In this case, the consumer has many options at the best price and, therefore, he has absolute power over the seller's firm. Therefore, in order to eliminate or overcome such problems, it is necessary to skillfully build marketing plans for the strategic perspective, taking into account possible risks. Today, there is a need for a thorough study of strategic marketing in wartime and the postwar period The results of the research presented in the monograph are determined within the framework of the initiative topic of the Department of Marketing and International Trade of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine "Development of Marketing at Agricultural and Processing Enterprises", state registration number 0120U100630.
