Abstract

The carried-out analysis allowed drawing a conclusion that despite the existing problems in the field of organic production, there is a gradual development of organic production in Ukraine. It is defined that there are almost all conditions for continuation of the development of organic production in Chernihiv region, however, it needs the state support. In spite of everything, the region is one of the leaders in implementation of organic production in Ukraine through the realization of joint projects with other countries.

In this research the system approach to formation of cluster model of ensuring the competitiveness of organic products was used. It allowed defining the place of enterprises of organic agriculture in the structure of modern agriculture, identifying connections between organic producers and other operators of the agrofood market.

This model can be beneficial for all the members of the cluster and by reducing the production costs it will be affordable for the population of Ukraine.

The disadvantage of the proposed model is actual absence of some structures which provide efficient production process of organic products in Chernihiv region. But these structures are in other regions and it is possible to cooperate with them.
