Abstract
Analysing the dynamics of cultivation and consumption of major agricultural crops worldwide is crucial for understanding trends and planning for sustainable food production. It is important to have an integrated approach that involves collaboration between scientists, and farmers to implement sustainable practices. The analysis of global market trends of grain and industrial crops is the goal of paper. Methods of analysis, synthesis, generalisation, forecasting and databases of the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations were used in the process of work. Such crops as wheat, corn, sunflower and flax were chosen for the study, because they are the major food needs of the world population. They are grown for grain (seeds), and flax is a plant of complex use, in which both the stem and the grain are important. They provide essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals that are crucial for human health. Cultivating these crops has been integral to the food security and economic stability of many countries, supporting large populations. As a result of the conducted research, it was found that India, China, the USA and Canada remain the largest producers of wheat in the world, but only India increases the cultivated area. A global trend to increase corn production has been identified. It was established that Ukraine remains an important producer of sunflower seeds. In addition, a gradual increase in interest in flax was noted. Although the increase in cultivated area can help to meet the growing demand for food products, the problem of using the agricultural plant residues also increases proportionally. This is an international problem, so its solution is of global importance. It has been founded that current research is focused on improving agricultural plant residues processing to obtain goods of various applications. The new knowledge received in the paper will allow working on the improvement of processing wheat, corn, sunflower and flax, which will be able to adequately meet the food needs of the growing world population without harming the environment
