To ensure economic development, the importance of international trade is obvious, and therefore it needs support at the level of states and regions. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is the work of domestic and foreign scientists. The results were obtained due to the application of a system of methods. In particular, the methods of grouping, classification and quantitative comparisons were used in the study of the commodity and geographical structure of world exports and imports. The methods of structural and economic-statistical analysis were used to assess the main results of international trade and determine their impact on the development of both individual countries and entire regions. The graphic method was used to visualize the results of the analysis of international trade during the specified periods.
