Abstract
This article highlights the importance of increasing the volume of agricultural
production in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and achieving uninterrupted supply
of food to the population of the country on the basis of insurance protection. One of the
urgent issues in the context of the pandemic is to ensure food security of the population,
the implementation of measures against rising food prices in the regions, which provide
basic needs. Today, further improvement of the mechanism of insurance protection of the
agricultural sector in overcoming the problems of food security on the basis of increasing
the volume of agricultural production is becoming a requirement of the time. Suggestions
and recommendations were made on the priority development of the agricultural sector in
ensuring food security, the consistent continuation of reforms in the agricultural sector
and the further improvement of insurance relations in the financial support of agricultural
entities.
