Keywords:

The study emphasizes that the food industry has specific regulatory requirements due to its direct impact on public health, food security, consumer protection, environmental sustainability, and national economic stability. Based on a review of theoretical approaches and international regulatory practices, state instruments are classified into several major groups: administrative and legal instruments, economic and financial instruments, institutional instruments, technical and regulatory instruments, information and monitoring instruments, and innovation and investment support instruments. Particular attention is paid to such mechanisms as licensing and permits, technical regulations, standardization and certification, taxation, subsidies, preferential financing, public procurement, competition regulation, state control, traceability systems, digital monitoring, and information disclosure.
