In the article the methodological basis of assessing competitiveness are substantiated, their content is defined, the types are systematized, which made it possible to determine the methodological approaches to developing tools for assessing the level of Ukraine’s agriculture competitiveness in the context of international economic integration. It has been established that the assessment of economic systems competitiveness of different levels (country, region, region, enterprise, product) has much in common – the same analysis methods, similar research algorithms, related indicators are used. This is especially characteristic for studies of the industry competitiveness, since the industry market positions are, on the one hand, market positions of the aggregate of its economic entities or manufactured goods, and on the other hand, positions that form the countries and regions competitiveness. It has been proved that the methodological basis for assessing the agriculture competitiveness as an industry of the national economy involves two aspects: firstly, competitiveness is a comparative characteristic of a subject entering the market, therefore it can be assessed only in comparison with other similar subjects or taking into account their market positions; secondly, the assessment on different markets may coincide with the methods used, but it should differ in the indicators, criteria, assessment indicators, which are used, with the possibility of mixing, the partial interchangeability and complementarity of these groups. Criteria for assessing the agriculture competitiveness in the context of international economic integration, which are generally accepted in world practice, are systematized, and which should be considered in three dimensions: the macro level, the meso-level, and the indicators of foreign economic activity. An algorithm for assessing the agriculture competitiveness is proposed.
Key words: competitiveness, criteria, evaluation method, indicator, agriculture.
