Marked and latent conflicts between its participating members have become the reason of long-term destructive crisis in meat products sub complex of Ukraine agro-industrial complex. Rational organizational and production relationships, balanced economic interests are absent between various areas of complex. Destruction of existing raw materials regions, domination of inorganic resource consuming techniques, fluctuating output indices movement of relevant products, the growth of consumer prices and meat products reduction by the public have become results of such disbalance.

– shrinkage of food supply for manufacture of meat livestock products resulting from cross-industry uncompetitiveness of meat cattle husbandry;
– implementation of World Trade Organization and European Community law principles in Ukraine economic environment, which, inter alia, prohibit realization of slaughter for home-use animals meat on the food markets;
