Abstract

 


 Aim: All-out hostilities in Ukraine have led to systemic changes in local agri-food chains that constitute a part of the global agri-food system. Damage or destruction of land and water logistics infrastructure and the near-total unavailability of air transportation negatively impacts food security within the country and on global markets. The purpose of this article is to define the economic essence and features of shaping alternative models of agri-food chains based on the concept of added value for all stakeholders in the environ­ment of value-oriented management at the micro level in the contemporary economic paradigm. Methods: The research methodology is based on the application of the chain approach as a method of scientific knowl­edge combined with literature review and deductive reasoning. Results: The results of the study indicate the importance of finding and applying alternative means of logistics, as well as ways that will reduce the agri-food chain from the farm to the consumer’s table, lower transportation costs, and increase the effectiveness of communication with the end consumer, improve consumer satisfaction, and shorten food delivery time. Conclusions: Emerging agri-food supply chains using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will create a new public catering market segment in the agri-food retail sector and will provide companies with robust compet­itive advantages throughout the years to come.
