We have identified the types of environmental constraints and rational opportunities for agricultural growth of Ukraine. These constraints and opportunities for sustainable development of the Ukrainian agricultural sector are detailed in the system of strategic planning measures at different levels of economic development. For proper development of rational opportunities for agrarian growth of Ukraine it is necessary to develop institutional support for investment projects deep processing and explore all possible sources of financing for the sustainable development of agricultural production. Excessive export orientation of agriculture requires measures to implement structural changes. High potential of the agricultural sector requires the implementation of measures for rational land use and the restoration of the capacity of land fertility and the prevention of its reduction.
