Abstract: The article provides a thorough analysis of organizational and economic factors and management methods that contribute to increasing the productivity and efficiency of dairy production in the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine. Trends in the development of the dairy industry in the period 2020–2024 are studied, taking into account modern challenges, including economic instability, the consequences of military operations and resource shortages. Key factors limiting the growth of milk production are identified, in particular, a decrease in the number of livestock, an increase in the cost of feed, low technological equipment and a lack of qualified personnel.

The need to introduce innovative technologies into the milk production process is emphasized, including milking automation, genetic improvement of animals, improved feeding and the use of the latest feed additives. The role of cooperation, which contributes to reducing costs and increasing the competitiveness of small farms, is particularly emphasized. In the process of the study, a survey of heads of agricultural enterprises was conducted, which allowed identifying the main problems of the industry and potential directions for overcoming them.

The results of the analysis indicate the importance of state support, in particular subsidy programs, attracting investments and stimulating the export of dairy products.

Recommendations have been developed to increase the efficiency of production processes through the integration of new technologies, optimization of personnel policy and the development of local dairy cooperatives. The possibilities of applying modern technological solutions to improve the management of production processes and increase the efficiency of dairy farming are also considered. The proposed approaches can contribute to the further development of the industry and adaptation to changes in the external environment.
