Problem setting. Given the difficult situation in which Ukraine is currently, the introduction of innovations in such an important area as agriculture should be cautious and aimed at achieving a specific positive result. Martial law has made significant changes in the formation of state policy, but ensuring the introduction of innovations in the field of agro-export is a priority in the current environment to support the national economy. However, in the context of current challenges, a significant number of new regulations have been adopted recently to ensure the legislative implementation of innovations in the field of agro-export, which have been ambiguously perceived by both the member companies of the American Chamber of Commerce and Ukrainian agrarians, which is of course a cause for concern. Analysis of recent research and publications. The sphere of agrarian relations is the subject of research by such scholars as Y.Y. Bakai, V.P. Zhushman, V.M. Yermolenko, G.S. Kornienko, T.V. Kurman, A.M. Stativka, P.Y. Shvedenko and many others. However, changes in the social and political life of the country necessitate continuous improvement of the legislative support of agro-export relations and introduction of innovations in this area. Therefore, this issue requires further elaboration in the context of a large number of new controversial legislative acts. Purpose of the research is to study the legislative framework for innovations in the field of agro-export, namely, those provisions which have caused the most vigorous and ambiguous reaction among domestic and foreign scholars and lawyers, and to provide the author’s own recommendations for eliminating shortcomings and gaps. Аrticle’s main body. This article is devoted to the issues of legislative support for innovations in the field of agroexport. As the world experience shows, those countries that introduce qualitative innovative changes at the legislative level have significant success and more effective results.Since the beginning of the martial law in Ukraine, a number of legal acts aimed at regulating the current situation have been adopted. However, some of these legislative acts do not just introduce changes, but fundamentally alter the existing order, introducing new innovative processes. The article analyzes some of the legislative acts adopted over the past six months and their shortcomings. Unfortunately, in Ukraine, any innovative changes usually cause fear and indignation among agroexporters. Therefore, it is emphasized that any changes, especially those that fundamentally violate the existing order, should be logical, systematic and structured, and their appearance should help to overcome existing problems and gaps, and not vice versa to create additional difficulties. Therefore, it is concluded that legislation in the field of innovations in agro-export activities needs to be updated qualitatively, with new fresh ideas that would be discussed in advance with the scientific community and agro-exporters and agricultural producers. Such an approach to drafting legislation would avoid the accumulation of a large number of legislative acts, and it would also involve all stakeholders to achieve a truly positive result. The author provides statistics showing an increase in exports compared to last year’s figures, but the inefficiency of the existing system is that the revenue received has significantly decreased. Therefore, it is concluded that it is necessary to introduce processing production in order to produce high value-added products, which will significantly increase revenues. Therefore, it is concluded that it is necessary to work together on new legislative acts that will not only change existing relations, but also ensure the restructuring of the existing agricultural industry, putting it on the processing rails. Сonclusions and prospects for the development. Based on the above material, general recommendations can be made. To develop and implement innovations in the field of agro-export relations in close cooperation with scientists, research institutions, and farmers, based not on illusory changes in the future, but on the actual realities of social, economic, and political life, taking into account all factors and risks. Develop state support and prioritize the production of high-quality agricultural products with high added value. To carry out a qualitative and systematic update of legislation by identifying existing problems and eliminating gaps.
