Abstract: The presented article is devoted to the analysis of prices as one of the key instruments of economic regulation, as well as price ratios in the agro-industrial complex, which are the basis for the balanced development of the agricultural sector of the economy. It is noted that despite the fact that the price situation in the agri-food market has traditionally been the focus of attention of both government authorities and the scientific community, it has not been possible to develop effective mechanisms that would contribute to its stabilization with price volatility for certain types of products. The trend of the growing price gap between various sectors of the agro-industrial complex and the consumer market is shown by the example of price dynamics for cattle meat, poultry, wheat and sunflower seeds. The author emphasizes that the acceleration of price growth occurs at every stage of the value chain. As a result, the share of agricultural producers in the structure of retail prices is significantly reduced. The article reveals the significant differentiation of the country's subjects in terms of price ratios, the author carried out a grouping that made it possible to identify regions with favorable and unfavorable price ratios for agricultural producers. The author notes that, acting under budgetary constraints, the state needs to be more actively involved in regulating prices and price relations in the agro-industrial complex. The article proposes organizational and economic measures aimed at ensuring the stabilization of the price situation in the agri-food market, including the development of regulatory legal acts that will allow building the unified approach and principles for the formation of a price system in the agro-industrial complex, taking into account the interests of all participants in the agri-food market.
