The processes of development of consumer food market at regional and state levels are examined. The dynamics of consumption and consumption per capita of main food products by Ukrainian population is outlined. Ukrainian regions are ranked by the share of agricultural food production. The dynamics of gross agricultural production in Ukrainian regions in general and across plant and animal products is examined. The factors that impact the production and provision of consumer market of a region and a country in general with food are determined. The paper proves that saturation and capacity of consumer food market depends on the efficiency of socio-economic activity in a region. Therefore, usually, the higher it is, the more goods are produced and the higher wages and final consumption are.
