Organic agricultural production creates conditions for preserving the environment and ensuring food quality. To effectively implement and develop the market of organic agricultural products in Ukraine, it is important to study approaches to certification in Ukraine and the world. The task of this work was to establish the prospects and problems of organic production in Ukraine. General scientific methods were used for research generalization, systematization, analysis and synthesis of scientific literature and normative documents. It was shown that in Ukraine the advantages of organic production include a high level of soil fertility and favorable climatic conditions. Problems that hinder the development of organic production are the diversity of the territory in terms of pollution of environmental components, the lack of a state certification system and qualified specialists for its implementation. A comparison of approaches to the certification of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine and other developed countries showed the compliance of national approaches with European and American standards. However, the absence of a state certification body makes it impossible for state control over organic market operators and the functioning of state certification. To guarantee the quality of organic products in the certification procedure must consider the level of fertility and soil contamination of agricultural lands, as well as the availability of sources of environmental pollution in the location of the operator of organic production. For the organization of organic production of agricultural products in Ukraine, the issues of criteria for assessing the compliance of organic production operators with regulatory requirements of documentation, etc.
