It is argued that the issue of supporting and creating conditions for the development of organic agro-industrial production in Ukraine is currently of great importance, since obtaining high-quality and useful agricultural products is the basis for raising the standard of living of the population of the state and for developing the well-being of its citizens, especially in the difficult political period of martial law.
It is emphasized that simply changing old or creating new legislation, based on foreign experience, is not enough, because there will is a non-working legislation, not an institution. The necessary social demand for effective institutions can be created by forming the need for them as a basis for creating effective formal and informal institutions in the future.

For Ukraine, the search for opportunities to increase national competitiveness is of great importance, which means achieving leading positions in the world market, which ensures an increase in the standard of living of the citizens of our country. To characterize the level of competitiveness of the countries of the
world, the global competitiveness index is calculated annually according to the methodology of the World Economic Forum. One of the main indicators for calculating this index is the quality of institutions in the state. Thus, in 2022, according to the ranking of the countries of the world on the rule of law, Ukraine occupies the 76th position out of 140 countries of the world. According to the "weakness" index (a complex indicator that characterizes the ability (or inability) of the authorities of one or another country to control the integrity of its territory, as well as the demographic, political and economic situation in the country), Ukraine in 2022 ranks 92 out of 179 countries in the world.
In such conditions, in order to overcome institutional gaps and improve the competitiveness of organic agricultural production, the state land policy should implement the following mechanisms:
- introduction of positive selective incentives for the development of the necessary formal and informal institutions;
- priority development of social capital, i.e. trust and effective social interaction between various social groups - authorities, territorial communities, landowners, land users and owners of processing enterprises
Therefore, increasing the institutional efficiency of agricultural land use largely depends on the optimization of the institutional structure, rethinking and coordination of formal and informal norms in the field of organic production, functions and public needs. It is necessary to determine the optimal configuration of formal and informal institutions for Ukraine, which would take into account the domestic specifics of organic agricultural production. Institutions of land ownership must work to achieve strategic social goals
