Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to present the main research results on the possibility of defining and substantiating effective areas for the further integration of Ukraine’s cereal logistics into the international institutional environment on the basis of assessment and ensuring the degree of mutual compliance of national and international grain standardization systems. During the conducted researches it has been proved that unification of logistic standards of the world economy puts qualitatively new demands on the functioning of the grain market of Ukraine and conditions of its integration in global logistics. Standardization of grain ensures compliance with national and international parameters. It has been found that the national and European grain estimation parameters have significant differences in the evaluation criteria. In Europe the basic indicator of grain is the protein content, while in Ukraine the basic indicator of grain is the content of gluten. Existing grain standards of different countries do not provide complete unification and naturally, these standards are different. It goes without question that the grain purity is a key indicator for sale and purchase operations on the world grain market. It is determined, that the availability of appropriate technical equipment for elevators, especially laboratories for quality control of grain, which meets world standards, is a significant factor in successful integration of Ukraine’s grain market into the international environment.
