The paper establishes that in the legal field of Ukraine there are more than 50 legal and regulatory acts that are directly or indirectly related to the regulation of the dairy industry market. The Law of Ukraine "On Milk and Dairy Products" is basic in the field of regulation of the dairy industry. The legislator fixed the interpretation of the main terms of the dairy industry in the relevant legal act - the Law of Ukraine "On Milk and Dairy Products". This act defines what "raw milk", "dairy raw materials", "dairy products", "traditional dairy products" are. Also, the legislator fixed the main institutions of the state policy of ensuring the safety and quality of milk and dairy products. In addition, the act discloses the issue of state support for producers of milk, dairy raw materials and dairy products and the mechanism for its implementation. It should be noted that the Law of Ukraine "On Milk and Dairy Products" regulates the legal and organizational foundations for ensuring the safety and quality of milk and dairy products for life and the health of the population and the environment during their production, transportation, processing, storage and sale, import into the customs territory and export from the customs territory of Ukraine. The study identified the main, in our opinion, regulatory legal acts that regulate the supply of milk, dairy raw materials and dairy products to the state, and also characterized their purpose, main provisions and meaning. It was found that milk and dairy products occupy a significant place in the market of food resources. It is noted that the production of dairy products is an important component of food security. It was found that providing the state with milk is a complex process that includes the following stages: milk production, milk processing, sale of dairy products, state regulation.
