The report “Competitiveness of the country's agro-industrial complex as a factor in food security” was presented at the conference, which will be published in the conference proceedings. The problem of food security is one of the most important issues in modern conditions and is the second Millennium Sustainable Development Goal: ending hunger. The excess growth rate of the world population over the rate of food production and the trend towards a reduction in basic resources used for agricultural production have become the reasons for the worsening food problem in the 21st century. During the conference, the problems of ensuring food security at the national and international levels, the role of the agro-industrial complex and agricultural enterprises in ensuring food security were discussed.
