Summary/Abstract: The article considers the problem of an efficient system of agricultural logistics formation that is currently in Ukraine in the process of development. Demand for logistics integration in modern conditions becomes a necessity while further agricultural sector development without implementation of logistic functions becomes ineffective. In the logistics system formation in the agricultural sector purely market institutions for the coordination of relationships are of crucial significance. Government policies can act as a catalyst for the creation of logistic chains. Macro level requires state regulation mechanisms for the sustainable use of limited resources and socio-economic development of territories. The negative factors of logistics development in Ukraine are the lack of licensing, available IT-solutions, outdated stocks, poor training of specialists. Thus, in today's agricultural environment, logistics is a new concept that is undergoing significant changes in short period of time.
