The subject of the research is the theoretical and practical aspects of managing business processes in the food industry. The authors explain the concept of "business process" and methods for achieving its improvement goals. The author’s scheme for managing business processes in the food industry in the context of economic transformations was developed and implemented. The in-troduction of a process approach requires efforts and resources for identifying business pro-cesses, their analysis, drawing up models of business processes. The analysis of business pro-cesses in the food industry of Ukraine at a macro level is carried out, including: an imperfect tax system; the mechanism imperfection of state and customs tariff regulation of food mar-kets, the low level of financial support from international organizations, the low level of state support for agribusiness entities; decline in employment and rising unemployment; growth in international migration; low competitiveness of Ukrainian food products and barriers to international food trade. Methodical approaches for determining the regional strategic potential of food safety are also proposed. The calculations of the regional potential of food safety are car-ried out using the data of the Black Sea region in Ukraine as an example.
