The article reveals the relevance of the production of niche agricultural crops in today's conditions. It is emphasized that in Ukraine it has increased in the conditions of martial law, as the prices of traditional business crops have decreased significantly. Analysis of the production of niche grain crops in today's conditions is performed on the example of such a representative of this group as rye. The main advantages that form the potential of culture in the economic, agro-technical, social plane are revealed and the main reasons that inhibit the increase in crops and the volume of its production are outlined. In particular, it is stated that the main advantages of rye are versatility, the possibility of application in many areas and export orientation. Emphasis is also placed on the important agrotechnical importance of culture and the possibilities of meeting social needs, in accordance with modern trends of healthy and ecological life. The level and dynamics of rye production in Ukraine by main commodity producers are analyzed. In particular, an analysis of areas, volumes of production and yield of the specified crops was carried out. It was established that small and small farmers are more actively engaged in the production of niche grain crops, in particular rye, and the yield of these crops has increased significantly during the studied period. The geography of rye cultivation in Ukraine is highlighted. The dynamics of indicators of the economic efficiency of cultivation and sale of niche grain crops (on the example of rye) by agricultural enterprises of Ukraine were studied - the full cost of 1 cent, the price of sale of 1 cent, the level of profitability. It was established that the economic feasibility of the production of the specified culture is also due to potentially high profitability. We came to the conclusion that in the conditions of the threat to the food security of the state and in the difficult economic conditions of management for many farmers, the production and processing of niche grain crops, in particular rye with its high potential, is quite capable of becoming one of the tools for stabilizing the situation on the domestic grain market through the development of niche production and development of new foreign markets.

The article reveals the economic value and economic attractiveness of oat production as one of the main niche grain crops. Considering the important role of oats, its advantages compared to other niche crops were outlined. It is substantiated that the economic attractiveness of its production is largely determined by its multifunctionality. The dynamics of oat production in Ukraine by category of farms was studied. The rating of oat production by regions of Ukraine was carried out, and the volume of its receipt at processing enterprises was considered. The dynamics of indicators of the economic efficiency of oat production in agricultural enterprises are analyzed and the prospects for the development of the production of niche grain crops are outlined. The authors prove that the use of niche crops in crop rotation allows to reduce the dominance of sunflower and rapeseed, the excessive cultivation of which greatly depletes the soil, and to diversify the existing grain-oil specialization of Ukrainian agriculture. The authors also reveal other advantages of growing niche crops (high profitability, diversification of production) and disadvantages (high cost of seed material and cultivation technologies, instability of demand for most niche crops, significant price fluctuations, uncertain amount of expected profit). It was established that an important feature of growing niche crops is the high resource intensity of their production. On the basis of the conducted research, we came to the conclusion that: oats are a high-value agricultural crop; oat grain production is potentially economically attractive; cultivation of niche grain crops is one of the most promising areas of development of small and medium-sized commodity producers, based on the fact that small farmers cannot compete with agricultural holdings in the production of traditional agricultural crops, so they should master the production of niche products; cultivation of niche crops will enable small enterprises to enter international markets and offer unique products.
The subject of the study covers the practical principles of crop production. The purpose of the study is to substantiate promising directions for ensuring the production of plant products in agricultural enterprises based on the analysis of indicators of their economic activity. Research methods: abstract-logical; monographic; statistical and economic, systematic approach, etc. Within the framework of the study, an analysis of the volume of production of agricultural products in Ukraine, acreage of agricultural crops in enterprises, data on the export of agro-food products of plant origin was carried out. The distribution of enterprises by the area of agricultural land that was owned and used in 2022, the area and yield of agricultural crops on irrigated land in enterprises, the use of fertilizers and pesticides in agricultural enterprises was analyzed. Attention was paid to the financial and economic indicators of agricultural enterprises of Ukraine during 2020-2022. It is substantiated that in order to ensure incomes and effective activity of agricultural enterprises, to balance the trade balance of the state, it is necessary to further improve the logistics schemes for the export of manufactured and processed agro-food products. This will contribute to the increase of added value, the number of jobs and labor income of the rural population in territorial communities, the saturation of the domestic agricultural market, etc. Currently, strategic agricultural crops, on which the modern development of the agrarian economy depends, are winter wheat, corn, sunflower, soybean and winter rapeseed. However, in order to diversify agribusiness, as a way of reducing risks in the field of sales of plant products to enterprises, it is necessary to expand specialization and set aside part of the land for the cultivation of niche crops and perennial plantations. In order to ensure the efficient production of plant products in enterprises, it is necessary to carry out its intensification thanks to the use of optimal doses of fertilizers and plant protection agents, irrigation of fields in arid regions of the country. Directions of application of research results: in the formation of agrarian and regional policy, the formation of program documents for the development of the agrarian sector of the economy and rural areas in communities, the formation of strategies, investment and business strategies, investment and business plans for the development of agricultural enterprises.
