description Purpose. The objective of the study is a comprehensive evaluation of the level of environmental friendliness of land use in the regions of Ukraine, taking into account the structure of cultivated areas. Methodology / approach. The evaluation of the structure of cultivated areas and the level of productivity in the regions of Ukraine was carried out using the method of complex ranking score. This allowed consolidating data on different crops to a single indicator and evaluating the situation in the regions. The regression method was used to evaluate the dependence of the ranking score on the structure of the cultivated areas and the level of productivity in the regions. A graphical method was also used to display the level of relationship between the studied indicators. Results. It was established that in 2022, the structure of cultivated areas did not significantly differ from the situation in 2020 and 2021. The use of a ranking score of changes in the structure of cultivated areas made it possible to establish that in terms of crop groups, the situation was better in 2022 in the regions of Zakarpattia, Volyn and Rivne. The most violations in the structure of cultivated areas were noted in the regions of Sumy, Mykolaiv and Kirovohrad. It turned out to be the best in the regions of Zakarpattia, Lviv and Volyn in terms of individual cultures. The most problematic situation with respect to the structure of cultivated areas was in the regions of Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Luhansk. Originality / scientific novelty. The use of methods of the complex ranking score based on the criterion of environmental friendliness of production (structure of cultivated areas) and the level of its efficiency (crop productivity) made it possible to establish that there is a direct level of connection between these indicators. This fact is proof that the optimal structure of land use has a positive effect on the level of crop productivity. Practical value / implications. The obtained results of the study give grounds for raising the question of creating an economic mechanism aimed at stimulating agricultural enterprises to comply with optimal land use standards in terms of compliance with the structure of cultivated areas.
