The article reviews the essence and content of scientific views on the category "agricultural market" 

and "infrastructure of agricultural market". It is established that  the formation and fulfilling of an 

organized and transparent agrarian market with powerful and effective components that can reconcile the 

interests of agricultural producers and consumers, should be a network of market institutions such as 

exchanges, trading houses and other elements of infrastructure. It is proved that the modern market 

transformations of the agrarian sector of Ukraine, which are accompanied by constant modification of 

market relations, require new methods of organization of the agrarian  market as a complex economic 

system in which many elements inherent in a market economy interact.

It is determined that the agrarian market performs a number of important functions (stimulating, 

informative, pricing, controlling, rehabilitation, reproductive, integrative, intermediary, regulatory), on 

which the effectiveness of its functioning and development depends. With a systems approach, it has been 

established that the agrarian market should be viewed as a complex system of interconnected and 

complementary systems of lower order (consumer solvent demand, supply, agriculture, and market 

infrastructure and government regulation). It is established that the agricultural market has a number of 

distinctive features that differentiate it from other types / types of markets. At the same time, the agrarian 

market as a set of economic relations, which are formed in the sphere of exchange concerning the sale of 

agricultural products, operates on the basis of common economic laws (cost, saving of resources, 

equilibrium). It is proved that the efficiency of the agrarian market should be understood as a logically 

ordered system of subjects of high-quality infrastructure, principles and methods of its functioning in 

accordance with modern conditions. It ensures the balance of supply and demand, equilibrium price parity 

and the proper level of competitiveness of agricultural products to meet international requirements and 

the internal needs of society.

In the study we have found that the modern infrastructure of the agricultural market in Ukraine is 

on the stage of formation in accordance with the development of agrarian relations in the country, and its 

peculiarity is that it has many intermediary structures that do not provide a reasonable price for producers, 

while having this intermediary operations have a significant economic benefit, and domestic agricultural 

producers lose a significant portion of their economic profits. In addition, the agricultural market of 

Ukraine is characterized by a long process of creating a system of organizations, institutions, enterprises 

and establishing methods of their activity, which are aimed at carrying out operations on the sale and 

purchase of agricultural products.
