Abstract

The purpose of this study is to obtain scientific and practical results aimed at the use of the advantages of integration processes within the Eurasian Economic Union to increase the sustainability and competitiveness of the development of sensitive industries of the agri-food sector in the Eurasian Economic Union member states. The assessment of the potential for export growth and the potential for import substitution was performed according to the methodology for assessing the potential for export growth and is based on previous research developments. The study assessed the impact of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union on the stability and competitiveness of such processing industries as: canned milk (condensed and non-condensed products), cheese making, production of sunflower oil, sausages and white sugar. It has been established that competitive pressure from foreign producers in the context of the development of integration processes can revive the internal competitive environment.
