There was a significant decrease in the consumption of the country’s population, compared with rational norms, of the most important food products — milk, dairy products, meat and meat products, fruits and berry cropsin during the period of economic reform, which is associated with a decrease in their production volumes. In 2018 the production of animal and poultry meat (in slaughter weight) decreased by 46.0%, milk — by 58.9%, fruits and berry crops by 11.4% compared with 1990. The purchasing power of the population also is low. Therefore, to solve the country’s food security problem, it is necessary to develop a targeted program for the development of the country’s agro-industrial complex for a long period (10-15 years), pay special attention to the revival of the village, increase the volume of agricultural production and its processing, and ensure economic accessibility to the population in acquiring food.</p&gt;}, number={3}, journal={Reports of Vinnytsia National Medical University}, author={Rudavka, S.I.}, year={2019}, month={Sep.}, pages={495-503} }
