Informal Employment of Rural Population of Ukraine (p. 175 - 180)
Unprecedented reduction of a number of working places in the social sector of agriculture, which took place due to reformation of the agrarian sector, resulted in a mass dismissal of agricultural employees and significant growth of unemployment in rural districts. This also resulted in transition of dismissed agrarians into the informal sector of agriculture, which accounts now for more than 3 million people living in rural districts. Specific feature of informal rural employment is its concentration in agricultural production, which is performed in private farms. Employment in non-agricultural types of activity in the informal sector in rural districts is still small. The qualitative composition of those employed in the informal sector is characterised with predominance, among them, of socially vulnerable categories of employees that cannot compete on equal terms in the agrarian labour market (rural youth, elderly people, and people with a low level of education). Today, the informal rural employment is an objective necessity of functioning of the modern agrarian labour market, since, to a certain extent, is compensates negative consequences of agrarian reformation. It is inefficient and irrational in its current state. Provision of productive employment of rural population in the informal sector and increase of its efficiency require a well thought-out state regulation of rural population employment in the context of development of institutional, legal, organisational, economic and many other conditions of development of small and medium agrarian business.

Improvement of Methods of Assessment of Efficiency of Use of Agricultural Lands (p. 179 - 183)
The goal of the article is improvement of methods of calculation of efficiency of use of land with consideration of qualitative characteristics of agricultural lands. Analysing traditional indicators of use of agricultural lands the article reveals that efficiency of use of land is assessed in them without consideration of cost of maintenance of qualitative characteristics of agricultural lands. The existing difference of land quality causes a necessity of objective assessment of economic efficiency of land use. In the result of the study the article offers methods of calculation of efficiency of lands, which identify intensity of land use by means of correlation of the increase of gross product of the agrarian sector with the level of investments into improvement of agricultural lands. Unlike the indicator of land efficiency the above methods allow a more complete reflection of qualitative parameters of agricultural land resources. The offered methods of efficiency of agricultural lands allows determination of the land output per UAH 1 of investments into agricultural lands and also assessment of the increase of the gross product of the agrarian sector for the future. As an example, efficiency of agricultural lands of the Crimea is calculated and dynamics of the indicator for the period of 2005 – 2011 is provided. On the basis of the proposed methods the article conducts forecast calculation of the increase of the gross product of the agrarian sector of the Crimea in 2015 and 2020.

Prospects of Application of Project Investment for Innovative Agricultural Technologies (p. 164 - 168)
The article discusses the possibility of project investment for large-scale projects of innovative agricultural technologies. Agricultural technology implementation projects given the high cost of modern machines and equipment, as well as capital investments in the processing of agricultural products are usually associated with multi-million expenditure. Based on the experience of developed countries, it is recommended to use syndicated loans for the issuance of which the foreign banks join into consortia or syndicates for the distribution of financial risks between the projects participants. It was found that in Ukraine there are large companies, especially agricultural holdings, investing in the agricultural sector and huge funds receive multimillion-dollar profits. This is a prerequisite for the implementation of project investment techniques that have been successfully used abroad. The reasons that are hindering the use of this effective instrument in Ukraine were found. Article is written in Ukrainian

Scenario-based Approach to Determine the Effectiveness of Strategic Material Management of Agricultural Enterprises (p. 168 - 174)
The article holds the feasibility study of the utilization of material resources of the enterprises in the poultry industry, depending on the strategy and the proposed forecast scenarios. Three possible scenarios of development were selected for the study: pessimistic, realistic and optimistic. The main difference between the scenarios is the cost of raw materials for the manufacture of feed. In case of the worst case scenario the rise in raw material costs is projected to reach 1.5 times above base line value. For a realistic scenario – an increase of 1.25 times, and the optimistic scenario – 1.1 times. Plus a possible change in the discount rate is taken into account – the indicator which equilibrates the value of money in time in both directions – increase and decrease. The analysis by the method of expert estimates suggests that the discount rate in the medium term can fluctuate within the meaning of 15 - 30%. In assessing the various options of investment projects as the discount rate its extreme values were adopted, as well as the median level. Using the options scenarios is suitable for each situation, which is most suitable to the main strategic objectives of the company for the development of complex use of resources and improvement of its effectiveness.

Features and Problems of Innovative Development of the Agricultural Enterprises of Ukraine (p. 175 - 180)
The aim of the article is to determine signs of innovative development of agricultural enterprises and the characteristics of their manifestations in Ukraine. The article summarized and systematized the study of "development" and "innovation development" concepts in agriculture in order to determine their economic substance, the prerequisites for implementation in industrial activity. The author's approach was developed based on the definition of the content and features of substantiated innovative development of agricultural enterprises. The key issues that hinder and impede the efficient formation of an innovative model of development were identified. The process of destruction of the research capacity of agricultural production is continued. This process should be a turning point. Only the formation of organizational and economic mechanisms, both at the state level and at the enterprise level, which would provide the demand for innovation, reliable funding for research and development, close links in the chain "science – production – market – consumption", are an important condition for the transition of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine to an innovative development model.

Efficiency of Agriculture of Ukraine as a Branch of the National Economy (p. 115 - 119)
The relevance of the study is determined by the lack of efficiency of Ukrainian agriculture as a sector of the national economy, quantitative and qualitative methods were used for the evaluation. The dynamics of the development of agriculture of the independent Ukraine was analyzed. A substantial decline in livestock production (cattle, pigs, and sheep) and crop (sugar beet, fruit and berries) was defined and significant reduction in livestock products such as meat, milk and wool. Meat production is unprofitable and subsidized. The positive experience in poultry breeding development was shown, which increased its poultry and egg production. In crop production the yielding of potatoes significantly increased, as well as sunflower seeds and crops that have export potential. According to the results of qualitative analysis it was concluded that there’s a lack of activity of market mechanisms in agriculture, which is manifested in the absence of correlation of productivity and profitability in the industry. Meanwhile, a significant interdependence of livestock and crop production development was revealed. According to the results of correlation and regression modeling the dependence of output on the profitability of agricultural products (meat and sugar beet) and yield (grain, potatoes, vegetables, sunflower) was revealed. Livestock farming requires improvement of the economic mechanism of management and crop production – the introduction of intensive methods of growth in crop yields, to which the volume of their production is very elastic.

Improving the Structuring of Agricultural Products (p. 120 - 125)
The paper suggests one possible approach to the determination of the proportion of each type of crop and livestock production in the total volume of agricultural products. To do this, the author developed the conversion factors to the main types of crop production in the index of conditional wheat. This makes it possible to determine the parameters of the constant conditional value – conditional wheat, rather than in incompatible terms of absolute mass and unstable monetary terms, which is affected by the instability of the national currency. The calculation of the structure of plant and animal production in Ukraine in natural and conventional indicators for 1990 and 2012 years was made. The proposed approach allows the analysis and control of agricultural production on the level of department, enterprise, region, state, and international communities. Article is written in Russian

Conceptual Basis for the Development of Agricultural Insurance in Ukraine (p. 125 - 128)
In the article the urgency of the development and adoption of the Concept of development of agricultural insurance in Ukraine was grounded. The necessity of providing insurance protection in the agricultural sector was proved; indicators of the domestic market of agricultural insurance were analyzed. It was found that government support in agricultural insurance in the last five years has not been provided; the mechanism of settlement in the crop insurance is not effective. It was concluded that the full development of agricultural insurance is not possible without the introduction of state support for crop insurance, taking into account the practical aspects of international experience. It was determined that the Agricultural Insurance Pool is the only association of insurers that carry out agricultural insurance with state support. However, the introduction of the insurer to the Pool is overregulated, as evidenced by the practice of its activities. The conceptual basis for the development of agricultural insurance in Ukraine were suggested, namely the simplification of procedure for insurers to enter the Pool; providing government subsidies to offset the cost of the insurance premium not to farmers but to insurance companies; establishment of real size of subsidies set by normative acts.

Price Disparity Problem and its Solutions in the Agro-industrial Complex (AIC) (p. 129 - 133)
The article investigates the causes and reasons for the emergence and spread of price disparity in agricultural industries; highlights the current state of inter-industry relations; offers recommendations for dealing with the problems of pricing in the current conditions. The urgency of the pricing policy is the need to neutralize the negative impact of structural deformations in the agricultural sector, which are due to imperfection of the mechanism of state regulation and are expressed in strengthening of nonequivalent interbranch exchange, particularly between the first and third areas of agribusiness. Unequal distribution of income within the AIC has a negative impact on the main economic indicators of agricultural enterprises. The need to address the price disparity set the goal of the scientific article: as a result of the study the feasibility of the use of public leverage was determined and the priorities of the state policy in the area of pricing was justified, in particular: establishing regulated prices of major agricultural products; antitrust actions; the creation of integrated agricultural systems and agricultural cooperatives with complete production cycle; provision of innovative development; monitoring of the price mechanisms; updating of the regulatory framework. The prospect for further research is to study the practical aspects of public policy in the field of pricing at both the macro and microeconomic level. Article is written in Ukrainian

Consumer Motivations for Dairy Products and Growing Competitiveness of the Milk Processing Industry (p. 179 - 184)
The objective of the article consists in studying consumer motivations for dairy products and determination of the top-priority factors resulting in growing competitiveness of the milk processing industry. As a result of studying and generalizing scientific research of numerous scientists, methodological approaches and practical experience in conducting a sociological sample questionnaire survey are systemized, the author’s own view of a solution to the problem of growth in the competitiveness of the milk processing industry is proposed. A sample survey held among 300 respondents of Zhytomyr region concerning consumer preferences for dairy products has shown that 14% of respondents buy dairy products on a daily basis, and the largest number of respondents, 25%, buy them occasionally. While selecting dairy products, most respondents first of all pay attention to the expiry date – 42%, and the price – 19%. The most frequently purchased product is milk, the second position belongs to hard cheese, followed by kefir, fermented baked milk, and ice-cream. Obvious preference is given to the trademark “Rud”. The majority (61%) of respondents regard dairy products of Ukrainian manufacturers competitive. According to 19% of respondents, the most constraining factor of development of the milk processing industry is insufficient quantity and quality of dairy raw materials. Other deterrents include a low paying capacity of the population, flawed organization of milk reception from the population, unstable economic development of the country, insufficient use of marketing measures. The highest rating among factors stimulating growth in effectiveness and competitveness of the milk processing industry belongs to improvement of quality of dairy raw materials, whereas marketing measures and use of the Internet are also quite highly rated. Prospects for future studies in this field consist in determination of new priorities in the preferences of dairy product consumers and ways of increasing competitiveness of the studied area due to the possibility of Ukraine’s entry into European markets and prospects of EU membership.

Metamorphosis of the Basic Tools of the State Agricultural Policy (p. 158 - 169)
Ukrainian agricultural sector has enormous structural and resource potential, which, along with appropriate State support is able to accelerate development of the national economy, its sucessful interaction with agricultural regulations of the EU and integration in the world economy as a whole. At the same time, reforms envisaged by the existing strategic documents of the highest level, including the Strategy for sustainable development «Ukraine-2020» and the coalition agreement, should be fully taken into account not only in the Common integrated strategy for development of agriculture and rural areas in the 2015-2020 (initiated by the Ministry of agrarian policy of Ukraine), but also should be based on the best international practice of instrumental and methodological support of the State agricultural policy, in particular – anti-crisis policy. All this occurs against the background of «pushing through» by some of socio-political actors together with agricultural lobbyists the misconception about an allegedly planned drastic decline in the relevance of State programs for supporting the agricultural sector. That is why the article has attempted to systematize the role and the metamorphosis of the basic tools of the State agricultural policy on example of the developed countries since the times of the first industrial revolution. As result has been determined that State agricultural policy would develop gradually, stage-wise, on the basis of the new cyclic-spiral directions, that would be completed on the already formated fundamental basis in accordance with the current needs of national and world economy. Also, trend on development of an integrated system of agricultural support is alleged as kernel of the agrarian sector and becomes one of the main priorities of socio-economic policy along with complication of structure of the complementary tools for the promotion and regulation of the agri-food sector.

The article is aimed to study the efficiency of using experience from implementation of innovation in foreign companies, which are engaged in dairy farming, and the best domestic agricultural enterprises. The article analyzes trends of milk production in the Cherkasy region, the dynamics of economic indicators of its efficiency. The reasons hampering the development of innovation activity in the dairy breeding sector have been disclosed. Influence of the cow population on the economic viability of dairy production as well as experience of the best agricultural enterprises have been considered. It has been reasoned that to achieve the best results in the dairy breeding the industry sector must be provided with sufficient quantity of high quality foods, the optimal current technology must be introduced. Although as in Ukraine in general, so in the Cherkasy region in particular, there are competitive enterprises engaged in dairy breeding, their innovative-investment provision is not sustainable. Therefore, this issue requires more detailed study and analysis. And because our country is gradually emerging on the European markets, we should pay attention to the dairy breeding in the leading agricultural countries in the world. Thus, reorganization of innovation activity and transfer of foreign experience in this matter is very important, as the use of innovations in dairy breeding helps to improve the efficiency of this industry sector of the country's economy.

Place of the State Support in the System of Formation of Competitiveness of Livestock Production (p. 172 - 177)
The article is aimed to define the role and importance of the State support of the livestock industry sector in the system of formation and securing the competitive production. The current status of the State support of the manufacturers of livestock products in the Kharkiv region has been analyzed. Efficiency of the State support has been determined, its differences by the enterprises of Kharkiv region have been identified. As has been displayed, the existing in Ukraine form of the State support of livestock does not comprehensively stimulate the production of this industry sector. Ranking of the districts of Kharkiv region in terms of the actual size of the obtained subsidies – towards their total costs – has showed that efficiency of use of subsidies at enterprises of those districts, which obtain larger amount of support, remains low. The larger subsidies per 1 centner of sold products would receive the enterprises with higher levels of competitiveness. At the same time, the State support is an essential factor of improving the competitiveness, though the unprofitableness related to cattle livestock and market hogs still cannot be overcome.

Organizational-Methodological Aspects of Accounting the Epizootic in Domestic Fowl (p. 184 - 193)
Poultry breeding, like any other branch of animal husbandry, also provides for the loss of fowl, because it deals with living organisms. As to causes for the loss of fowl, there can be a few, such as unfair work of employees, natural disasters or diseases. Reflection of these processes in the accounting is quite ambiguous, because of the lack of unified legal approach to manage the accounting reflection of epizootic of domestic fowl. So in this article, a generalization, systematization and substantiation of accounting process regarding the epizootic of poultry, in accordance with the reasons for the loss, has been proposed; theoretical definitions of all categories in the process of epizootic have been submitted.

Rent as a Tool for Implementing the Land Ownership Relations in the Agrarian Sector of Economy (p. 201 - 206)
The article is aimed at studying the development of rent of agricultural lands. Rental relations are regarded as one of the factors determining the completeness of implementation of the land ownership relations. The trend of growing ratio for rented land in farms has been identified. The dominance of natural form in calculating the rent of agricultural land testifies to a very low level of development of market relations in the sphere of contemporary land use. The timing of the rent that would ensure soil conservation, is considered a key requirement of compliance with the interests of land owners. Violation by tenants the optimum ratio of crops in crop rotations requires on the part of the State more effective control over the compliance with the land administration projects on the part of agricultural commodity producers.

Institutional Factors of Efficiency of Use of Agricultural Land (p. 254 - 262)
The article is aimed at analyzing efficiency of use of agricultural land and substantiating the need to employ institutional factors for its increase. Efficiency of agricultural land is considered as a degree of rationality for its use. The existing system of natural and cost efficiency indicators of land resources does not take account of their quality and price. In the absence of a market mechanism for developing prices for agricultural land, one can use the indicators of return on land and profitability of land, a base for calculating which can be the normative monetary valuation of land. The carried out calculations of these indicators for 1995-2014 indicate discrepancy of management results with quality of land, its economic fertility, and shortcomings of normative monetary valuation of agricultural land. On the basis of general substance of institutional factors, their role in the sphere of land relations can be summarized as regulating land ownership relations, antimonopoly regulation, providing means for financial stabilization and fiscal management. Institutional factors should be applied on the basis of the obligations of Ukraine before international financial institutions, the WTO membership, and opportunities of budgetary financing.

The Approaches to Reforming the Development of Rural Territories by Aspects and Levels of Economic Security of Agriculture (p. 152 - 157)
The article is concerned with generalizing the international experience on the use of different approaches to reforming the development of rural territories by aspects and levels of economic security. In the world countries, there are four approaches: sectoral, cross-sectoral, territorial, and local. In Ukraine, in the process of reforming the development of rural territories, as the basic was selected the cross-sectoral approach. The authors specify the importance of differentiated application and other approaches that allow to implement creative use of reforming tools, taking account of the local characteristics of development. In addition, it is proved that a certain proportion of the rural areas has significant comparative advantages, contributing to the economic success and growth of well-being of the population. The main driving force appears to be the more attractive conditions for life and work, among which the transport infrastructure has a high level of priority, since it reduces constraints on the choice of place of residence.

The Prospects for Development of the Agricultural Land Market in Ukraine (p. 176 - 181)
The article is aimed at studying the basic aspects of establishment and development of the land market. A mechanism for securing against the leasehold estate and a model of an agricultural land market have been proposed. It has been specified that the most important component on formation of land market in our State is to work to change public opinion, people attitudes regarding the private ownership of land and deals with it. The proposed mechanism for securing against the leasehold estate has not only economic, but also social significance, which, above all, is that securing against the leasehold estate does not change the owner of the land, and, consequently, does not threaten villagers with dispossession of land. With introduction of the presented model of an agricultural land market it can be argued that such a market is an open, complex system based on the interaction between its actors over the use, disposal and market turnover of agricultural lands.

The Tools of Financial Policy in the Dairy Products Subdivision of the Agroindustrial Complex (p. 181 - 188)
The article is aimed at definition and classification of tools of the State financial policy in the dairy products subdivision of the agroindustrial complex (DPS of AIC). The article considers the financial policy tools used in terms of targeted programs of the State support for the DPS of AIC: the State target program for development of Ukrainian villages, sectoral program for dairy breeding and the project of the conception of the State target program for development of dairy breeding in Ukraine for the period up to 2020. The existing tools are divided into direct and indirect action tools. As of 2016, the tasks that were relevant to the corresponding targeted programs have not been implemented on any item, except for the milk productivity of cows. Still the productivity indicator of 4500 kg/year of milk from a cow is low enough and does not correspond to the general world-wide tendencies. This suggests the need for further assessment of the existing list of tools with a view to adjusting them and defining priorities for the State support of the DPS of AIC.

Features and Ways to Improve Financing for Development of Agriculture in Ukraine (p. 194 - 198)
In the different stages of the operation of agriculture, problems related to financial security are dominating. An analysis of the current status of the agricultural industry suggests that it is experiencing a lack of financial resources that can be obtained through the use of credit resources or using own capital. The article considers the main tools and methods of the State support for agricultural financing in Ukraine, which include the use of budgetary, fiscal, customs, monetary-credit, price, and investment policies. The major problems have been identified: reduction of volumes of the State support for agriculture; inaccessibility of credit resources due to high interest rates; absence of account of the works seasonality and others. The sustainable development of the agrarian sector of the Ukrainian economy depends to a large extent on the efficiency of agrarian policies and the proper participation of the State in its formation and implementation. In order to improve the financial status of agricultural enterprises, there is a necessity to improve credit policies that, in the essence, would reduce interest rates and would stimulate the long-term loans.

The Institutional Determinants of Formation of the Strategy for Economic Development of Agriculture in Ukraine (p. 119 - 123)
The Ukrainian agrarian sector, with its production potential largely exceeding the needs of the domestic market, could, on the one hand, be a locomotive for development of the national economy and its effective integration into the world economic space and, on the other, give multiplier effect to the development of other sectors of the national economy. Agriculture uses a significant amount of energy resources yearly. Energy costs reach 18% in the structure of costs of agricultural production by agricultural enterprises and 23.1% – for crop production. Meantime, the industry sector has enormous potential to produce energy resources, consuming only 17 thousand tons of biofuels and waste, which represents about 1% of the total energy consumption. The article determines the main strategic directions for development of the agricultural production and rural territories. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Mechanism of Preferential Crediting of Enterprises of Agrarian Sector of Ukraine (p. 170 - 176)
The article is aimed at studying the current mechanism for providing cheaper credits for agricultural enterprises and developing proposals for its improvement. The volumes of lending to the enterprises of agro-industrial complex are in no small measure determined by the amount of budget funds allocated for the cheaper credits. According to the results of research it was established that the current mechanism of preferential crediting does not fully solve the problems of crediting of agrarian enterprises. The subsidy system satisfies only a small proportion of the demand for credit resources in the agricultural business sector. The author has formulated approaches to support commercial lending to small and medium-sized agricultural producers, which is provided by commercial banks and credit unions, at the expense of local budgets. Prospects for further research are to adapt the mechanism of credit subsidization of agro-industrial enterprises in accordance with the requirements of the World Trade Organization.

The Formation of the Value-Added Chain of Agrarian Enterprise (p. 184 - 190)
The article is aimed at defining and analyzing the alternatives of formation of value added in the enterprises of agrarian industry. It is found that the worth of value added as a performance indicator is that it demonstrates part of the value of products created by enterprise, which is formed by the modification of the purchased raw and other materials through the use of labor, technology, innovation and covers all the costs incurred by the enterprise in creating this product, providing a certain profit. Agrarian enterprises have a number of alternative options of creation of the value added both at the stages of production and storage, and at the stage of sales. Consideration of variant alternatives helped to identify that for modern farm the most advantageous is the cultivation of high-quality crops using precision farming technologies and irrigation systems; covering of own need for seeds for the next period at the expense of own product; independent transportation, processing and storage of grain, as well as sale at the most peak prices at the market. Further directions of research will be a deeper study of approaches to calculating value added, identification of new alternatives and their evaluation, theoretical and mathematical analysis of alternatives in the context of specific cultures or groups of products.

The Methodology and Methodics of Evaluation of the Processes of Soil Fertility Use and Reproduction in Vegetable Growing (p. 177 - 187)
The article is aimed at studying the conceptual foundations of methodology and methodics of evaluation of the soil fertility reproduction processes in the vegetable growing industry sector. It is proposed to evaluate the processes of soil fertility use and reproduction, and hence perfection of the vegetable growing industry, according to the ecological criterion, which was defined as one of the most important in evaluating the level of market perfection of vegetable products. In turn, this criterion is considered in the light of intensity of use and reproduction of soil fertility in the vegetable production and in the formation of prices in the market of vegetable products. All this has determined the methodology of authors’ research, which in the final version is reduced to the calculation of balance between the use of soil fertility, on the one hand, and its reproduction, on the other hand. Methods for definition of ecological risks of the industry together with recommendations on possibility of their reduction, based on the principle of reproduction of soil fertility, are suggested. Implementation of such methodical approach, in contrast to the known, provides an original economic interpretation of the process of use and reproduction of fertility on the basis of data on the features of crops, crop rotation, productivity, fertilizers, taking attention of other agritechnical factors as well.

The Tendencies of Development of Agrarian Sector of Economy of Ukraine in the Context of Efficiency of Public Management of Territorial Development (p. 199 - 210)
The rural areas in Ukraine, which are home to more than 30% of the population, occupy about 90% of the entire area of the country. The agricultural activity of the population remains the main source of its life support, while 55% of the rural population in the country carries out economic management on the personal household small size plots, without obtaining significant additional income. While producing a significant quantity of agricultural products in the country, individual rural households, in the absence of effective mechanisms to protect and support their activities, are not able to compete with agricultural enterprises, especially of medium and large size, and therefore they do not influence on the formation of markets for sales of their goods and services. Large agricultural holdings and agricultural companies control almost the entire market of sales of agricultural products both domestically and in terms of exports.

The Potential and Problems of Development of the National market of Organic Vegetable Growing (p. 215 - 220)
The article is aimed at describing the problems and prospects of organic vegetable market development in Ukraine from the point of view of small business. In the segment of vegetable production in Ukraine, an active formation of the organic market is going on, as evidenced by the AIC dynamics, surpassing any other indicators. At the same time, the non-certified production of organic vegetable growing is being carried out spontaneously or in a less orderly manner. There is a big problem concerning the correct monitoring of this sector of farms, which is represented, first of all, by small commodity forms of production. Earlier or later, but the implementation of this group of farms to the available monitoring network will occur as the market becomes formalized, because the lack of certification limits directly both the prices and the profits. The study results in determining that the national market needs modern infrastructure. It can be argued that the domestic market of organic vegetable production in Ukraine continues to remain in the domain of uncertain pricing mechanisms, the consequence of which is, on the one hand, the overstatement of prices, on the other - lack of an established demand segment. Prospects for further researches in this direction is studying the peculiarities of formation and development of the market of organic vegetable products in Ukraine from the point of view of small business.

The Natural Potential for Development of the Bio-Oriented Economy in Ukraine (p. 136 - 143)
The article is concerned with defining and assessing the natural potential of Ukraine for the development of a bio-oriented economy. It is defined that this conception has spread in the last three decades and is developing rapidly in European countries. Therefore, it is proposed to assess Ukraine’s potential in the formation and development of sectors that are classified as bio-economic. The following natural factors, which are determined as the basis for development of a bio-oriented economy in Ukraine, are analyzed: area of agricultural land, area of the salted and irrigated agricultural land, harvesting of realizable wood, forest felling area, water bio-resources and water objects area for commercial aquaculture. It is defined that the natural potential for development of a bio-oriented economy in Ukraine is quite powerful, but certain factors are characterized by volatile dynamics. It is proved that the existing land potential is not always used rationally, there are certain imbalances, which negatively affect the environment, economic efficiency and the national economy as a whole. The availability of aquatic bio-resources is assessed and it is defined that this indicator is characterized by a significant fluctuation. For the formation and development of a bio-oriented economy in Ukraine, this tendency appears negative, as water bio-resources are raw materials for the production of bio-products, which is an indicator of the level of development of the bio-oriented economy in any European country. The area of water objects for commercial aquaculture is analyzed, as a result of which it is found that there is a steady decrease in this indicator in dynamics, which is generally negative, as aquaculture also belongs to branches of a bio-oriented economy, and the area of water objects is of big importance for the development of this industry.

The article is aimed at analyzing and substantiating the priority areas of development of the national viticultural and winemaking industry in the conditions of integration into the global market of grapes and wine. Studying and generalizing the scientific developments of domestic specialists on this topic, it was found that the issue of introducing a balanced variety policy in viticulture as a vector of its further sustainable development in the context of integration into the global and European markets are not sufficiently covered in scientific publications. The carried-out analysis of the dynamic development of the industry on the basis of official statistics suggests that viticulture and winemaking in Ukraine, having large-scale natural potential, are in deep crisis and are now uncompetitive in the global market. Such directions of development of the domestic viticultural and winemaking industry are defined and substantiated: introduction of the technology of «grape conveyor» in the production of table grapes with an emphasis on the varieties of early maturation - as a reserve for increase of the cost-efficiency of the wine-growing enterprises; and the optimization of quantity and quality of technical grape varieties for the production of wine, which should affect the quality and, consequently, competitiveness of the national wine product. Prospect for further research in this direction is studying the potential for Ukrainian viticulture and winemaking to reach a competitive level, in line with the regulations and standards of the European Union.

Topical Questions of the Land Market Introduction and Land Reform in Ukraine (p. 179 - 186)
The article is aimed at studying the problems of lifting the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land and the introduction of the free circulation of such land property. The article analyzes the arguments of both supporters and opponents of the introduction of free trade of agricultural land. Both the short-term and long-term effects of the immediate and unconditional lifting of the moratorium are forecasted, as required by proponents of the introduction of the free circulation of agricultural land property. The forecast of negative consequences because of the immediate and unconditional lifting of the moratorium is substantiated. In particular, the move is expected to result in the concentration of the bulk of land property owned by several large investors, accompanied by reduction in the productivity of agricultural land as a result of the use of land for lower value-added agricultural products competing with small and medium-sized farms’ output. Long-term negative socio-economic consequences such as a decline in rural employment and, as a consequence, creation of preconditions for further migration of working people abroad are also projected. The fundamental differences between the simple lifting of the moratorium and the implementation of a full-fledged land reform have been defined. A list of the main tasks of land reform, which should be implemented before the opening of the agricultural land market, as well as a detailed list of the main directions and separate elements of this reform are proposed. The main directions include measures of legal regulation, economic and fiscal measures, as well as organizational and technical measures that will create the foundation for the organization of the real land market for agricultural purpose, the operation of which would really ensure respecting the legitimate interests of the owners of land units, the State, and the Ukrainian people in general.

Theoretical Bases of contraction in the Agrarian Sector of the Economy (p. 174 - 181)
The article is aimed at generalizing and systematizing the theoretical bases of contraction in the agrarian sector of the economy. It is displayed that the economic content of the contraction mainly depends on the paradigmatic foundations of a certain school of economic theory, as well as on the economic-political factors of the country’s socio-economic development. The contents of the categorical apparatus of the contraction are specified, its subject-object area is defined. It is confirmed that in the agrarian sector of the economy, the contraction should be understood as the process of agriculture on a contractual basis between a contractor and a contractor on the basis of a pre-contracted agreement of contraction. The object of the contraction is defined by quasi-integration economic contractual relations between the contraction entities concerning the production and/or supply of products (works, services) of a certain volume, quality, at a certain time and at a fixed price. The subject of the contraction is the agreement of contraction of agricultural products, works and services. The subject composition of the contraction depends on the model of its implementation and covers contractors (agricultural producers who carry out their production activities on a contractual basis), contractants (customers) and the State (implementation of the State regulation and public supervision). The methodological bases of the contraction are generalized at the macro-level - within the contract theory (taking into account approaches to market, intra-company, industry and public coordination) and the life cycle theory; at the meso-level - the theory of transaction costs and the agency theory, in particular the theory of forced contracts; at the micro-level - the neoclassical theory of firm, the theory of strategic management and key competences. It is determined that the institutional and transactional determinants of the contraction in the agrarian sector of the economy are spatial development and placement of agro-industrial production, institutional environment of agribusiness entities, market infrastructure, technical-economic characteristics of products, uncertainty of market both in the quality and in the prices, production technology, as well as institutions of quasi-integration of the contract interaction.

Alternative Crediting in the Agrarian Sector of Ukrainian Economy: P2P-Crediting to Farmers (p. 98 - 103)
The article considers the possibility of alternative crediting to small farming enterprises, as credit is a form of movement of loan capital and an integral attribute of the economic management mechanism for all economic entities. In addition, the use of borrowed funds has a positive impact on the financial activities of agricultural producers. These funds include: increasing the producer’s financial potential; providing an opportunity to accelerate the turnover of investments; increasing the return on equity. Many small farming enterprises can not get the necessary crediting from banks because of lack of turnover in financial statements, lack of collateral, bad credit history. Beyond that, the low level of liquidity of banking activities along with the political processes in Ukraine have led to a conservative policy of crediting to the agricultural sector. The emergence of new business models in the financial sector can be one of the most modern and effective instruments for attracting credits. Therefore, the article considers the possibility of introducing P2P crediting for small farming enterprises – borrowing financial resources provided without collateral, from private investors. Special credit programs, which domestic banks develop for agricultural producers, have been analyzed. Modern and efficient instruments for attracting credit resources are considered. The process of applying for a loan through the Internet site is described. The benefits of P2P crediting for the agricultural producer are allocated. Its shortcomings for both the investor and the borrower have been formulated. Steps to promote Internet crediting and increase financial resources in the agrarian sector of the economy are proposed.

The research is aimed at defining the problems and tendencies in the development of rural territories in Ukraine. According to the goal, the article researches: structure of Ukraine’s lands and the population structure by settlement type, density of population of rural territories of Ukraine, reasons for the decline of the rural population in Ukraine, consumption of basic foodstuffs and household spending in rural areas, age composition of the population, processes of rural migration, employment and income of the population in rural areas, infrastructure problems in the development of rural territories in Ukraine, educational space in rural areas, number and condition of medical institutions in rural areas, infrastructure of cultural institutions and living conditions in rural areas. The carried out analysis allowed to substantiate that in Ukraine there is a feedback cycle on the type of «vicious circle» in which the poor condition of social infrastructure increases the migration mood of the rural population, which leaves rural settlements because of the small number of schools, preschools and health facilities that are enlarged or closed, which worsens the level of social services and narrows the social infrastructure. Together, the economic and infrastructure reasons for the increase in migration, the decline of the rural population and their ageing are leading to a worsening of the demographic situation in the country. Thus, in developing efficient economic approaches to stimulating the development of rural territories, the country’s rural settlements should be seen as a holistic system. There will be no better way to achieve balanced development, overcome inter-industry, intra- and interregional imbalances, integrate rural and urban subsystems of the society on equal terms.

Assessing the Impact of Foreign Trade Factors on the Development of Doing Business in the Agricultural Sector (p. 139 - 147)
The degree of openness of the economy as the presence of ties with residents of other countries in the framework of export-import operations determines the potential impact of foreign trade on business development in the agricultural sector. Analysis of the indicators of economic openness in relation to Ukraine (the country's export quota, the country's import quota, foreign trade quota) for the period 2008–2019 allows us to state that the national economy falls into the category of open. At the same time, import quotas exceed export quotas by 7–15%, which indicates the predominance of imports in the structure of foreign trade. In order to develop a mechanism for effective management of foreign economic activity of the agricultural sector, groups of factors of external (supranational level) and internal (macro-economic level) environment are identified that have a direct impact on the nature of the flow and the volume of foreign trade. External factors included the following: liberalization of trade rules; the amount of duties in trading partner countries; non-tariff restrictions in trading partner countries; world prices; foreign market capacity; ecological situation; the domestic factors included: tariff restrictions; non-tariff restrictions; institutional component (level of corruption, level of bureaucratization); resource opportunities; level of technology development; domestic market capacity; state of transport and logistics infrastructure; exchange rate. Based on the identification of factors influencing foreign trade on business development in the agricultural sector, their expert assessment was conducted according to 3 criteria: weight of impact, the degree of impact and the probability of increasing the impact. According to the level of agreement of experts, assessed using the concordance coefficient, the results obtained should be considered statistically significant. Among external factors, world prices are considered the most favorable, and non-tariff restrictions in partner countries are considered the most threatening. Among the internal favorable factors, resource opportunities and the level of technology development are in the lead, among the unfavorable ones tariff and non-tariff restrictions, as well as the institutional component have been identified. The identified factors must be taken into account when developing strategies for starting a business in the agricultural sector. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Influence of the State Support on the Formation of Competitive Advantages of Agricultural Businesses (p. 147 - 153)
The purpose of the article is to determine the current state of the State support for agricultural businesses in the context of creating competitive advantages. The main normative documents regulating the State support of agricultural commodity producers are considered. The classification of forms of support into direct, indirect and intermediated and methods into administrative and economic are defined. The key role of the subjects of institutional regulation of the State support is determined. The main directions of fiscal, budgetary and credit policy of support of the agricultural sector are considered. An analysis of the dynamics of costs to support the agricultural sector from 2013 to 2019 has been carried out. It is determined that the share of agricultural expenditures for the period under review in the total budget expenditures decreased from 1.2% to 0.55%, which indicates a lack of appropriations. The analysis of the dynamics of the cost structure for the support of the agricultural sector has been done, which allowed to determine the imbalance of the main directions. Incomplete use of the planned funds in the targeted area for certain areas of support for agricultural producers in 2019 has been identified. Trends in the dynamics of support amounts for 2020 are considered: a threefold reduction in allocations for livestock, a significant increase in indemnities to reduce the cost of loans and the introduction of a new direction of affordable lending for micro-entrepreneurship and small business (5–7–9%). This indicates a shift in the priority of the State support from direct to indirect and intermediated methods. The use of quotas on the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area between Ukraine and the EU in the export of certain products is considered. The important role of increasing the volume of quotas and their nomenclature for creating price competitive advantages for domestic agricultural producers has been proved. The negative trend of further reduction in the number of cattle, pigs, sheep and goats, which has been observed for a long time, requires a revision of government policy in this sub-sector. The need to increase the amount of the State funding for agricultural producers has been proven to increase their competitiveness and create competitive advantages. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Practical Aspects of Outsourcing at the Enterprises of Agricultural Business (p. 140 - 145)
The article is aimed at researching both the world and the domestic experience of the use of outsourcing in the national economy in general and at the enterprises of agricultural business in particular. The development of outsourcing relations in the world, the role of outsourcing in the development of the world economy is considered. Outsourcing relations in the agriculture of the Netherlands, UK, Poland and Japan are analyzed. Special emphasis is placed on the analysis of advantages and risks of outsourcing, selection of outsourcers to perform certain functions of the enterprise. It is believed that companies that use only internal capabilities instead of external (outsourcing) are less oriented towards innovation and cannot take advantage of opportunities to develop new value-added products. The narrowly specialized outsourcers can contribute much more to creating added value with lower costs than any integrated enterprise. On the basis of the carried out researches, it is concluded that the expected benefits of outsourcing can include such as: cost savings; reduction of investment costs; supply of fresh capital; transfer of the permanent cost to the variable cost; improved quality level of products and services; improving the adaptability of the enterprise; access to modern technologies; focus on the company’s key activities and solving problems related to existing functions. Numerous studies carried out abroad show that outsourcing brings a technological effect that can become an important means of economic growth in the country. In particular, China’s example proves that there is a strong positive correlation between the level of development of outsourcing and production output volumes, trade volumes, employment of the population and the level of innovation. The reasons for low level of implementation and development of outsourcing at domestic vertically integrated enterprises of agrarian business are identified. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Sources and Resources of Investment Activities of Personal Peasant Farms (p. 173 - 177)
The article analyzes the status of investment activity of personal peasant farms (PPFs). Investment is one of the most important factors in the development of the economy. Especially of great importance are investments aimed at the development of agricultural production, because on its development depend the development of all other sectors of the economy, accelerating the processes of reproduction and increasing its efficiency. It is proved that the investment activity of the PPFs is unsatisfactory, investment processes are insignificant, and the sources of allocation of resources are irrational. The sources of investment provision of personal peasant farms have been identified. It is concluded that internal sources of financing of PPFs, which consist of: income from economic activity, related types of activities, provision of services, lease of land plots, pensions, wages, scholarships of members of the PPFs, funds from the sale of property, rent for land plots, interests on deposit investments, insurance payments from reimbursement of losses, previously accumulated savings, etc., are not sufficient. Therefore, we need to look for opportunities to provide resources for external sources of funding. The key role here should be played by the State. It is necessary to develop an effective mechanism for attracting and implementing investment support from the part of the State, as well as external and internal investments, along with joint projects.

Institutional Environment of Inclusive Development of Agroholdings (p. 183 - 188)
Launched in 2015, the reform of decentralization of power and governance has led to the formation of amalgamated territorial hromadas (ATHs) and establishing the new districts as relevant parts of the administrative-territorial structure of the country. Further success in the development of these socio-spatial formations of the agglomeration type will depend on their economic capacity and self-sufficiency. The solution of this important social task is largely derived from the efficiency of economic entities and their social responsibility to expand the productive employment of the economically active population, access of all its strata to the created public goods. Large agri-food holding companies should play a key role in this process. In view of this, the purpose of research is defined, which is to substantiate the fundamental role of the institutional environment in the inclusive development of agricultural holdings. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the following tasks are formulated: to determine the essence of the concept of institutional environment as a system and analyze its current state; to reveal the content of an integrated approach to the formation of an environment for inclusive development of agricultural holdings; identify the potential for inclusive development of agricultural holdings. To achieve the goal and objectives of the study, the authors used interdisciplinary methodology, namely – systemic, synergistic, institutional, political, economic, social approaches, methods of synthesis and analysis, deduction and induction, SWOT-analysis, comparison, analogies, statistical and sociological researches. The information base of the study consisted of scientific achievements of domestic and foreign scientists, data from the State statistics, materials from the Internet, the authors’ own observations. The scientific novelty of the study is to substantiate the concept of "institutional environment system" as a platform for inclusive development of agricultural holdings. The scientific provisions, conclusions and recommendations arising from the study can be used by businesses, ATHs, districts in the formation of welfare inclusion. Article is written in Ukrainian

Investment Support of Domestic Agricultural Production: Actual Situation and Real Needs (p. 189 - 194)
The article examines the actual amount of capital investment in agricultural production. It is determined that despite their rapid nominal growth in the national currency, the real amount of investment, translated into the US currency, is insufficient to meet the needs of expanded reproduction. It is assumed that the main causes of the capital investment deficit are excessive inflation, excessive business risks and non-fulfillment of government obligations. In the Ukrainian economy there is a positive dynamics of capital investment in the agricultural sector of production, denominated in the national currency – for the period 2010–2019 their average annual value amounted to UAH 35.4 billion, the growth rate was 120.5%. Their share in the structure of capital investments of the country's economy is also increasing. The volume of capital investment in the agricultural sector of the economy, translated into a more stable currency (US dollars), in the reporting year of 2019, was lower not only than in the previous two years, but also than in 2013–2013. Their average annual growth was 105.7%. The average annual volume of capital investments in agriculture, forestry and fisheries of Ukraine for 2010–2019 is $ 2.02 billion. This amount is insufficient, as agriculture alone requires at least $ 2.9 billion annually investment. Among the sources of financing capital investments in agriculture, forestry and fisheries of Ukraine in the reporting period, more than 90% were at the expense of enterprises and organizations. This is not a normal situation, which indicates that there is a curtailment of bank lending for investment needs of farmers' the State does not fulfill its obligations to support the development of the agricultural economy; foreign investors, given excessive business risks, are reluctant to invest in Ukrainian domestic agricultural production. Restoring confidence in the State, inflation targeting, judicial reform and the uncompromising fight against raiding are key tools for improving the investment climate and increasing capital investment in the agricultural sector of Ukraine's economy.

Legal Regulation of the Level of Food Provision for the Population of Ukraine (p. 171 - 176)
The article is concerned with studying the problems of legal regulation of the level of food provision for the population of Ukraine. The norms of both the legislative and by-law acts regulating food security and food provision, as well as the work of scholars who studied this problem before, were examined. Food provision for the population of Ukraine can be defined as the State-based providing citizens of Ukraine with access to food of proper quality in the amount sufficient for the normal functioning of the human body and preservation of its health. This concept is closely related to the concept of food security. Food security is a state of physical provision by the main food groups of the appropriate level of quality and safety, as well as the forming of the State food reserve not lower than the officially established limit norm. The level of food provision for the population of Ukraine should meet the needs of citizens in a sufficient amount of food of proper quality. The normative legal acts regulating the level of food provision for the population of Ukraine can be divided into the following groups: defining requirements for the safety and quality of food products; consolidating the legal status of food producers; carrying out legislative regulation of the legal status of agricultural land; establishing measures of the State support for food producers; implementing the State regulation of imports of agricultural products; intended for legal regulation of wholesale and retail trade in foods; ensuring the State regulation of food prices; determining standards of the subsistence minimum for the citizens of Ukraine. Proposals on amendments to the Law of Ukraine «On subsistence minimum» to ensure an adequate level of food provision for the population of Ukraine are formulated. Article is written in Ukrainian

Influence of Mergers and Acquisitions Processes on the Competitiveness of the Agricultural Sector (p. 138 - 143)
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are widespread in the business world, being one of the means of competition. They belong to agreements between two companies that become combined in one form or another. Although mergers and acquisitions are used as synonyms, they have different meanings. When merged, two companies of the same size are combined into one new enterprise. Acquisitions are a situation in which a larger company acquires a smaller company, thereby taking over the business of the latter. M&A agreements may be friendly or hostile, depending on their approval by the board of directors (management) of the target company. The main reasons for mergers and acquisitions can be called the desire of companies to increase the growth rate, strengthen and stabilize supply chains and sales of products, diversify production, optimize the tax burden, as well as strengthen their market positions due to reputational advantages. The article analyzes the normative and legislative acts of Ukraine regulating the procedure for concluding M&A agreements, as well as displaying information about them in both the accounting and the financial statements of enterprises. Regarding the regulation of the procedure for concluding M&A agreements, there are no clear definitions of these terms. These concepts are considered only in the context of methods of formation, reorganization or liquidation of enterprises. The authors have allocated some aspects of taxation of operations on the purchase and sale of assets and shares in the implementation of M&A agreements. The relevance of the chosen topic is due to the strengthening of the tendency to the concentration of resources (land banks) by large agricultural enterprises in Ukraine. The statistics on M&A agreements in the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine for the period 2018-2020 are to testify to this tendency. Positive aspects of mergers and acquisitions for agricultural enterprises, as well as risk factors that may appear as a result of an increase in the share of foreign companies in the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine, have been allocated.

The Ecological Component of Sustainable Development of Agriculture (p. 143 - 151)
The article is aimed at studying the ecological indicators of sustainable development of agriculture on the basis of systematization of statistical data in dynamics and determination of characteristic signs of ecological threat caused by the activities of economic entities. It is determined that, according to the conception of triple criterion by J. Elkington, the ecological component of sustainable development, on a par with economic and social, comprised the basis for the development of national indicators as defined by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The surveys conducted by the World Economic Forum indicate a pre-emptive positions of ecological global risks associated with extreme weather events, failures in the fight against climate change, natural natural disasters, decreased biodiversity, and the natural disasters caused by economic actors. As a result of the study, two groups of ecological indicators of sustainable development of agriculture are distinguished as related to the estimation of soil quality and biodiversity, which are expressed in SDGs 6, 13 and 15. Further analysis of the actual implementation of tasks in the context of the Goals allows to assess the degree of their reach in the near future. High levels of area plowing, uncontrolled use of fertilizers and linear waste-producing economic management models are the reasons for the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, a decrease in the balance of humus and nutrients. Gradual replacement of linear models with cyclic models can facilitate a regeneration of natural capital. Further research is related to the revision of the efficiency of resource use, the search for ways to reduce waste volume, as well as the application of the conception of circular economy at the local level.

Strategic Priorities of the Institutional Support of Agrarian Economy of Ukraine in the Context of European Integration Processes (p. 63 - 69)
The article defines that recently, under the influence of global processes, pandemic and volatility of international agri-food markets, the high dynamics of transformations in the world economy has been generating more and more risks for domestic producers and requires effective decision-making in the legislative and regulatory field at the State level. Thus, formation and implementation of strategic priorities of institutional support for the agrarian economy of Ukraine in the context of European integration processes remains an actual problem. The article is aimed at substantiating the strategic priorities of developing the institutions of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine in the context of changes in the global environment and under the influence of European integration processes. In order to achieve the aim, analysis of modern problems of institutional support of the agrarian sphere of the national economy of Ukraine in the context of European integration processes is carried out. It is noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the implementation of the tasks of the structural units of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences as a scientific institution to provide innovative support for the development of the industry. Emphasis is placed on the chronic underfunding of research and development at the State level, which inhibits the effectiveness of innovative providers in the agricultural sector. The main directions of further development of agribusiness in order to ensure the competitiveness of domestic products in agri-food markets and ensure food security of the country are identified. Emphasis is placed on the intensification of significant export potential, in particular organic production, the volume of supplies to world markets is growing. However, it is proved that the effectiveness of the implemented strategies for scientific support of the agricultural sector requires proper funding, responsible attitude and vision of the economic perspective behind it. In order to intensify the innovative model of scientific activity in the agrarian sphere and in the context of integration into the European Open Scientific Space, the first intermediate results of the activities of the State-owned institutions of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences are determined.

Taxation of Agricultural Producers: The Consequences of Transformational Changes and Directions for Further Development (p. 69 - 74)
An efficient development of the agricultural sector of the economy of Ukraine is possible only under the condition of stability and optimality of tax legislation, while its constant changes adversely affect the activities of agricultural enterprises. Therefore, the State support and the creation of favorable conditions for development will allow the agro-industrial complex to become a highly efficient and competitive sector of the economy. The article is concerned with studying and analyzing the transformational changes in taxation of agricultural producers in Ukraine. Both the positive and the negative consequences of tax reforms implementation are examined, in particular, the results of the introduction of a single tax for the taxation of agricultural enterprises are considered and the dynamics of volumes of its revenues to local budgets is analyzed; the main problems that arose in the agricultural sector as a result of the reform carried out by the State on receiving the value added tax (VAT) from agricultural enterprises are distinguished and the impact of this reform on the profitability of these enterprises is disclosed. Efficiency of the introduction of the system of budget subsidies for agricultural producers, which were provided to them in connection with the abolition of a special VAT tax regime, is analyzed. Since support for the agricultural sector is one of the strategic priorities for the development of the national economy, the main aspects of the processes of further reform of the taxation system of agricultural enterprises are distinguished. This will increase the efficiency of their activities, improve the financial condition and develop agricultural production in Ukraine. As a result, this will have a positive impact on the increase in tax revenues to budgets of all levels and reduce attempts to evade taxation. Article is written in Ukrainian

A System of Indicators for Evaluating the Efficiency of Circular Economy Strategies in the Agrarian Sector (p. 108 - 115)
The increased interest in the conception of circular economy is caused by predictable advantages in the context of sustainable development. However, the generally accepted monitoring system does not exist, and the scientific world relies on a significant number of approaches to measuring the efficiency of circular economy strategies. This is caused by the introduction of circular economy principles at the level of current regulations in the policy of China, Africa, the European Union and the United States. Accordingly, the studied list of indicators that allow to evaluate its efficiency is quite wide and takes into account the development peculiarities of both economy and its sectors. Of particular interest to this study is the agrarian sector. The analysis of scientific papers allowed to distinguish in the agricultural sector strategies for narrowing, closure and recovery of resource cycles, the evaluation of which requires appropriate indicator systems in the context of various dimensions of sustainable development. Efficient strategies of circular economy in agriculture can potentially include a set of indicators that are able to assess the level of impact of production on the environment, take into account social aspects, determine the level of informatization, material capacity and energy capacity of products. As a result of the research, an overview of the existing systems of indicators of circular economy in the agrarian sector was carried out, which were divided according to strategies for narrowing, closure and recovery of resource cycles in the context of technical, ecological, economic and social dimensions of sustainability. Further researches are related to the review of existing business models of agricultural enterprises, referred to the indicators based on circular economy strategies and measurements of sustainable development.

Formation of Modern Theory of Nutrition in the Context of Food Security (p. 217 - 226)
The article is aimed at studying and identifying the problems of human nutrition in the process of its evolution, as well as systematizing theories and scientific views on the needs and functions of nutrition in the context of food security. It is proved that food security of countries is a prerequisite and guarantee of preservation of their sovereignty and independence, ensuring sustainable socio-economic development, formation of both the high level and the high quality of life of the population, reproduction of human capital. The analysis of the state of nutrition of the population of Ukraine indicates the imbalance in the main nutrients and the inconsistency of them with the main principles of rational nutrition. It is determined that human nutritional needs have evolved under the influence of factors of socio-economic and scientific-technological progress. In each ethnic, cultural, religious community, people had their own ideas about the necessary nutrition, which were part of the world-view at a certain time. On the basis of the characterization of food evolution, the theories and conceptions of nutrition are systematized. It is proved that the fundamental changes in the lifestyle and nutrition structure of mankind in the 21st century require further study of theoretical aspects of nutrition, systematization of new approaches to the formation of modern theory of nutrition. The need for qualitatively new approaches to the preparation of diets of the population on the basis of functional food products using natural raw materials of increased nutritional value, dietary supplements, etc. is substantiated.

The State Regulation Of Investment Activity In Agriculture: The Regulatory Aspect (p. 227 - 234)
Based on the analysis of the world practice of the State regulation of investment activity in agriculture, the article sets priorities that include the development of a regulatory framework, formation of international and the State investment programs, accumulation of investment resources and financing of specific agricultural investment projects. Normative-legal regulation of investment activity in agriculture is analyzed based on consideration of aggregate measures carried out by public authorities, adoption and implementation of legal acts in accordance with institutional powers. The legal basis of this process is the Laws of Ukraine, decrees of the President of Ukraine, resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, orders and directives of the relevant government institutions. For their analysis, a historical digression was made and the evolution of the formation of the normative-legal mechanism of the State regulation of investment activity in agriculture, in particular by periodizing this process, was revealed. The separation of five stages of formation of the normative-legal mechanism of the State regulation of investment activity in agriculture allowed to pay more attention to qualitative changes in agrarian policy, gradual introduction of private land ownership, regulation of agricultural land use. The necessity of further improvement of the legal framework of investment activity in agriculture as an effective factor in the formation of a favorable investment climate and the implementation of relevant activities is substantiated. In this context, the significance of the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the Law "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Concerning the Conditions of Circulation of Agricultural Land" and its alleged introduction of market circulation of agricultural land is revealed. It should be expected that the practical implementation of its provisions will help attract long-term lending to agricultural production and significantly expand investment activities.

The Impact of Russian Aggression on Global and Ukrainian Food Security (p. 133 - 142)
The article analyzes the current level of food security of Ukraine in the conditions of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war. The state of the agrarian sector is defined and the dynamics of domestic acreage and harvesting areas under grain crops is analyzed. The state and dynamics of the food situation in the country are determined, taking into account the indicators of economic availability of food supply to the population of both Ukraine and the world. The geographical structure of the State’s export potential in relation to grain products directly concerning the countries of North Africa and Asia is determined. The main factors shaping the demand in the food industry sphere in both the national and the international markets are presented. The raw material orientation of Ukrainian exports along with vulnerability in foreign food markets are examined. The threatening realities forced the world community, the UN World Food Program, the WTO to react, because, although they declared their intentions to minimize risks at the global level, the legal mechanisms did not work in reality. The purpose of the article is to highlight the organizational-legal mechanisms for minimizing the negative consequences of Russian aggression in the field of food security. An analysis of the State Program for stimulating the economy to overcome the consequences of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to the conclusion that in terms of ensuring food security, the program itself is ineffective, since it does not provide organizational-legal instruments for achieving the goals declared. The main negative factors of the influence of Russian aggression on the food security of Ukraine and the world are generalized. It is revealed that the current situation with food in the country at war is close to a catastrophic one, since Ukrainian grain plays a significant role in the fight against hunger in the world. It is determined that the primary role for getting out of this situation should belong not only to our State, but also to the international community. Article is written in Ukrainian

Ensuring the Efficiency of Sustainable Land Use of the Land Resources Management Mechanism in the Management System of Agrarian Enterprises (p. 142 - 148)
The article proposes that the most important measure to ensure the efficiency of sustainable land use of the land resource management mechanism in the management system of agrarian enterprises is to determine the transition to the principles of adaptive landscape farming, which is a system of forming land relations that provide for the rationalization and harmonization of the interaction of natural components of the landscape and the activities of agrarian enterprises in the conditions of modern agri-industrial production. It is emphasized that in connection with this, the methodology for the formation of land relations should integrate natural and landscape criteria, consisting in the adaptation of agricultural activity to the natural conditions of the territory involved in agrarian production, and the ecological-economic aspects, the contentual essence of which is the timely implementation preventive measures that restore soil and resource potential and improve the quality of agrarian ecosystems. The transformation of land relations according to the principles of adaptive landscape organization of territories means, first of all, the optimal ratio of agricultural lands. The ecological and economic purpose of agrilandscapes is to constantly increase the share of areas that stabilize the natural environment, or, in other words, forest plantations, pastures, hay-fields, while simultaneously reducing the share of ecologically degraded arable land. The efficiency of the land resource management process in the management system of agrarian enterprises depends on the mutual compliance of the internal and external conditions of the functioning of agri-industrial production. The external conditions of operation should include the factors that determine the process of formation of land resources (climate, relief, soil and plant cover, regulatory and legal support for land use, tax policy, etc.). The internal conditions of the operation of the land use mechanism include the management system of an agrarian enterprise, organizational form of enterprises, methods of technological influence, machines and mechanisms, management process, etc. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Economic and Bioenergy Efficiency of Use of the Biogas Plant Digestate in the Cultivation of Agricultural and Vegetable Crops in the Context of European Integration of Ukraine (p. 40 - 52)
The purpose of the article is to determine the economic and bioenergy efficiency of bioorganic fertilizer based on digestate, taking into account the cost of basic nutrient elements. The article presents calculations of economic indicators of the examined elements of the technology of growing corn for grain and vegetable crops in Ukraine, which indicate that the cultivation of these crops is economically beneficial in all versions. The study found that increasing the economic efficiency of corn production for grain and vegetable crops when applying different norms of fertilizer application is achieved due to the more significant positive impact of yield growth compared to additional costs associated with the use of these agritechnical means, while additional costs caused by the use of fertilizers pay off many times. It is proved that the use of mineral fertilizers and their combination with high norms of bioorganic fertilizer (digestate) for corn and vegetable crops contributes to an increase in yield, and the energy efficiency of this fertilizer is quite high, which indicates the energy saving concerning the studied technology of growing crops. It is advisable to apply such fertilizer norms at which it is possible to obtain the greatest energy output at optimal costs, ensuring compliance with the priority policy of energy saving in agricultural production. The theoretical and practical provisions on the ecological problem (utilization of livestock waste, in particular in the case of pig farms), the energy problem (biogas production in a biogas plant) and the agronomic problem (obtaining organic fertilizer) have been further developed, which ensures an increase in yield and improvement of the quality of agricultural and vegetable crops, that is, makes it possible to obtain high-quality crop and vegetable products during utilization of livestock waste. The proposed approach to the economic assessment of technologies for growing corn for grain and table root crops, depending on the fertilizer application system, makes it conceivable to increase the level of productivity of agricultural and vegetable crops, provided that bioorganic fertilizers are effectively used in modern conditions of a sharp increase in the cost of mineral fertilizers. At the same time, the energy efficiency of growing corn for grain and table root crops depending on the fertilizer system has been determined, which will increase crop yields in the absence of an increase in fertilizer costs.

Formation of a Territorial Cluster in the Dairy Industry (p. 89 - 96)
The purpose of the article is a comparative analysis and generalization of cluster forms of cooperation of dairy industry enterprises, substantiating the expediency of forming a territorial cluster and determining its main participants. The theoretical basis of the research is the basic provisions of economic theory in terms of the forms of contractual relations of the participants of the interaction. The methodological basis of the research is the methods of generalization, systematization, comparison, and classification. As a result of the study, it was established that the goal of forming a territorial cluster is the sustainability of the resource potential of the necessary quantity and quality for the production of dairy products. The way to implement the defined goal is to support the development of peasant farming. Within the framework of the industry cluster, the goal of coordinating the actions of its participants in the dairy market, forming the horizontal integration of production chains creating added value, is implemented. The purpose of creating an innovation cluster is to ensure innovative leadership on the market and implement the import substitution policy. A sign of an agro-industrial cluster is the formation of complete closed cycles of dairy production, while the goal consists in comprehensive management of production and sales risks. The specified differences in the purposes of forming clusters determine the differences in the tasks implemented by the cluster, its structure, the system of interconnections, performance evaluation indicators, etc. Taking into account the set goal, the structure of the cluster is formed. The structure of the territorial cluster formed with the participation of dairy industry enterprises, farms, transport organizations, logistics structures, and banks will ensure economic, social, and regional effectiveness. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the possibility of using the formed structure and aggregated functions of the participants of the territorial cluster. The social consequences of the study are related to the possibilities of growth in the number of business entities and the level of employment in the region where the cluster is located. The originality of the research results lies in identifying differences in the purposes of cluster formation, the system of relationships, performance evaluation indicators, and the identification of prerequisites for creating a territorial cluster. Prospects for further research include the development of a methodology for assessing the level of balance in the implementation of the economic interests of all cluster participants.

Prospects for the Positioning of Agricultural Vertically Integrated Enterprises in Global Value Chains (p. 155 - 161)
The purpose of the article is to substantiate the strategic alternatives of agricultural vertically integrated structures positioning in global value chains (GVCs) based on the results of the assessment of their current positions in various types of primary products produced by them. The analytical basis of the proposals is the results of the assessment of import dependence and export competitiveness. Monitoring of import dependence made it possible to determine the position of national enterprises in the domestic market and the attractiveness of the domestic market for foreign companies. It was established that for all goods, in the production of which vertically integrated structures play a significant role in the country, in domestic value chains they have competitive advantages and the potential to expand activities in the direction of the primary links of the chain. Determination of the prospects for the positioning of domestic agricultural vertically integrated structures in global value chains was carried out on the basis of an assessment of their products international competitiveness. For goods that have a low level of competitiveness (milk, beef and veal) and are uncompetitive on the world market of agrarian products (sugar, pork), it is economically expedient to strengthen the positions of GVCs as managed participants with gradual further diversification. With types of products that have sustainable competitive advantages on the world market (corn for grain, sunflower oil, and poultry meat), vertically integrated structures have a high potential for intensifying activities in the higher echelons of GVCs, initiating the processes of forming new GVCs with the implementation management role.

Internal Control in the Management of Agricultural Enterprises (p. 197 - 202)
The article allocates the previously unresolved issues regarding the role of internal control as an important factor influencing effective managerial decision-making in the industry. The functioning of new organizational and legal forms of management on the basis of private property necessitates strengthening control over the activities of enterprises both on the part of the State and on the part of owners and labor collectives. Traditional forms and methods of control over the activities of enterprises, formed in the conditions of administrative methods of management of the country’s economy, under current conditions require further improvement in order to harmonize the system of control at the both macro and micro levels.

Regulation of Foreign Economic Activity in the Agricultural Sector of Ukraine under Martial Law (p. 191 - 198)
It is found that under martial law, the importance of the agricultural sector for the expanded reproduction of the potential of the national economy as a whole along with the provision of the macroeconomic stability in the country increases. It is determined that one of the basic factors of accelerated development of the agrarian sector of the economy of Ukraine is the intensification of foreign economic activity of subjects of agrarian entrepreneurship, intense activities at the processing and food production plants, in particular by increasing the volume of exports of products with high added value and limiting unproductive and increasing high-tech agricultural imports. It is substantiated that the key institutional prerequisite for expanding the spectrum of foreign economic relations of Ukrainian subjects of agrarian and agro-industrial entrepreneurship is the improvement of the system of regulation of foreign economic activity through the introduction of additional regulators in the range of methods, instruments, levers of regulatory influence on export-import flows and the development of logistics and warehousing infrastructure. It is determined that the regulation of foreign economic activity of subjects of agrarian entrepreneurship along with the processing and food production plants is a set of budgetary-tax, customs, loaning, anti-dumping, insurance, licensing and reglementary methods and instruments of regulatory influence on export-import flows of agricultural products and food products, as well as on improving the infrastructure of storage of agricultural products and foods. It is substantiated that in the conditions of martial law, first of all, it is necessary to ensure the diversification of methods and tools of direct and indirect budgetary support for agricultural exports, in particular in terms of ensuring timely and uninterrupted VAT reimbursement to Ukrainian exporters of agricultural products, as well as diversification of methods and tools of loaning support for exporters of high value-added products and operators of high-tech imports for the needs of agrotechnical, veterinary and agrochemical support for the development of the domestic agricultural sector.

Ensuring the Sustainable and Rational Land Use: International Experience and Ukrainian Realities (p. 218 - 234)
Currently, the problems of sustainable and rational land use are becoming relevant in most countries of the world. Ukraine is no exception. And these issues have become extremely urgent as a result of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In view of this, the purpose of the article is to study and summarize the international experience in the development of the system of sustainable and rational land use; identification of modern problems of land use in the conditions of the legal regime of martial law in Ukraine and ways to solve them. To achieve this purpose, the following general scientific methods were used: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, component analysis, comparison, analogy, classification, statistical analysis, expert survey, bibliometric analysis, trend analysis (using the Google Trends), structural and logical generalization. A bibliometric and trend analysis of the relationship between the terms «sustainable land use» and «rational land use» is carried out. On the basis of the study and generalization of international experience, specific features and differences in the development of the system of sustainable land use in some countries of the world have been identified. A statistical analysis of indicators of land use development in Ukraine in the pre-wartime period is carried out. The problems, threats and risks of land use associated with hostilities on the territory of Ukraine are identified. The experience of implementing national land restoration policies by countries affected by hostilities is analyzed. It is determined that the current economic conditions in Ukraine require the creation of appropriate institutional conditions and the improvement of mechanisms for ensuring sustainable land use, taking into account the specifics of wartime. As a result of the study, it is proved that in order to ensure sustainable and rational land use in Ukraine, taking into account the best world practices that are used in most countries of the world, it is necessary to develop a set of provisions and recommendations of a theoretical, methodological and practical nature.

An Analysis of Cash Flows in the System of Management of Financial and Economic Activities of Subjects of Agrarian Business in the Context of Dysfunction of Socioeconomic Development (p. 225 - 234)
The article is devoted to the analysis of cash flows in the system of management of financial and economic activities of subjects of agrarian business in the context of dysfunction of socioeconomic development. In the process of preparing the article, such general scientific methods as generalization, analysis, synthesis, tabular and monographic, as well as methods of financial analysis were used. According to the results of the study, it is found that in the conditions of dysfunction of socioeconomic development, the following challenges for the financial and economic activities of the subjects of agricultural business are increasing: complication of logistics, decrease in demand, lack of own financial resources, instability of the exchange rate, complexity of planning and forecasting activities. A relatively positive forecast for the profitability of agricultural enterprises in the field of crop production in 2024 is specified. Insufficient demand, labor shortages, the so-called «other factors» (these include the challenges of martial law) are identified as the factors that most hinder agricultural activity. Based on the processing of reporting data of PJSC «Lebedyn Seed Plant», the leading agricultural enterprise of the Cherkasy region, it is determined that 2022 was a kind of «peak» of socioeconomic dysfunction, negatively affecting the indicators of the financial and economic activities of the enterprise. Attention is focused on the fact that in 2023 the enterprise demonstrated a partial improvement in indicators, but the analysis of cash flows allows us to conclude that there is a generally low level of liquidity, which may adversely affect the solvency of this economic entity. Prospects for further research are related to the study of financial management instruments that can be used to improve the efficiency of the financial policy of enterprise. Thus, it is expedient to analyze the possibilities of using financial leverage in order to optimize the structure of equity and debt capital and increase the profitability of activities. The main methodological challenge for the implementation of analytical calculations is the complexity of forecasting performance indicators. Article is written in Ukrainian

Disclosure of Social and Human Capital in the Report on Sustainable Development of Agricultural Enterprises (p. 138 - 146)
The study aims to acquaint the scientific and professional community with the Sustainability Reporting Platform, which is the basis for preparing the ESGI report (Sustainable Development and Investment Report). This article describes standardized forms and indicators for measuring, preparing and disclosing human and social capital information because this component of agricultural production is the most sensitive and uncontrolled during the period of martial law. The Sustainability Reporting Platform includes three components: ESGI report, webinars (videos, materials) and publications (scientific articles, presentations). The ESGI report consists of standardized reporting forms and survey questionnaires. Standardized forms enable comparisons of sustainability indicators among different economic entities that helps to adjust their business strategies and goals. The survey questionnaires provide each economic entity with the opportunity of in-depth self-assessment of sustainable practices and define their sustainability goals by 2030. One of the main provisions of the ESGI report is consideration of the size of an enterprise (micro, small, medium, large). In particular, regarding social and human capital, additional information is not required to be disclosed if all employees of an enterprise receive adequate salaries and are covered by social protection (sickness leave, social leave, disability benefits). For comprehensive measurement and presentation of social aspects of the enterprise's economic activity, the authors proposed 10 indicators: 1) material social risks and opportunities; 2) social risks and transition opportunities; 3) social risks of martial law; 4) diversity of human capital; 5) work-life balance; 6) employment dynamics; 7) adequate salary; 8) education and career development; 9) occupational health, safety and hygiene; 10) freedom of collective bargaining and social dialogue. Reference levels have been introduced for each indicator. The resulting matrices allow to convert the actual data into points and to draw the diagram that visualizes the measurement results. Webinars for agribusinesses interested in updates of the information about sustainability measurement and reporting represents a promising direction for further development of the Sustainability Reporting Platform. Another important direction is the improvement of the ESGI report by introducing more accurate indicative assessment levels based on the data received from the Platform users.

The Role of Standardization and Certification in Improving the Quality of Agrarian Business Products and Ways of Its Promotion (p. 226 - 234)
The agrarian sector of Ukraine is one of the key components of the national economy, but it faces numerous problems, among which the issues of product quality, standardization and certification occupy an important place. In the context of globalization and integration into world markets, ensuring high quality and compliance with international standards are necessary to increase the competitiveness of Ukrainian agrarian products. This study focuses on the economic analysis of the current state of the agrarian sector of Ukraine in order to identify the main problematic issues and develop promising ways to solve them. Attention is paid not only to technical aspects, but also to methodological frameworks related to standardization and certification processes in the agro-industrial business. Particular attention in the study is paid to integrated marketing strategies, which are an integral part of modern agribusiness. The possibilities and benefits of using modern technologies in marketing communications, including digital marketing, big data analytics and process automation, are studied. The introduction of these technologies makes it possible to reach target markets more effectively, increase consumer awareness of products and strengthen the brand of Ukrainian agrarian producers in the international arena. Technological progress in the financial sector is also an important factor in the development of agrarian business. Innovations in financial technologies, such as blockchain, smart contracts, and financial platforms, can greatly simplify lending, insurance, and financial risk management processes for agrarian producers. In this context, the prospects for the development of the credit system for agrarian business are studied, including the introduction of new financial instruments and support mechanisms. One of the important aspects of the study is the analysis of the consequences of the implementation of the new land policy in Ukraine. Both positive and negative consequences of this policy are considered, in particular its impact on the availability of land resources for agrarian producers, the investment attractiveness of the agrarian sector and environmental sustainability. Possible ways to minimize the negative consequences and maximize the benefits of new reforms in land legislation are proposed. Cooperation between different stakeholders in the agrarian sector, including government agencies, the private sector and research institutions, is seen as a key element in the successful implementation of the proposed measures. In particular, the authors emphasize the importance of creating partnerships and cooperatives, which will facilitate the exchange of knowledge, technology and resources to improve the efficiency of production and marketing of products. By taking a comprehensive approach to analysis and providing practical recommendations, this study aims to promote the further development of the agrarian sector of Ukraine. The developed proposals will help ensure sustainable growth, improve the quality of products, strengthen positions in international markets and improve the standard of living of the rural population. The implementation of integrated strategies, innovative technologies and effective cooperation will be the key to a successful future of Ukrainian agrarian business. Article is written in Ukrainian

A System of Indicators of Efficiency of Functioning of Agricultural Enterprises and Rural Development to Determine the Effectiveness of Current Strategies (p. 272 - 281)
The article substantiates the close relationship between the functioning of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) and the development of rural areas, which affects the development of the country’s economy as a whole. The system of indicators of efficiency of functioning of agricultural enterprises and development of rural areas has been studied in order to determine the effectiveness of current strategies. The theoretical foundations and methods for evaluating the efficiency of agricultural enterprises, including economic, social and environmental aspects, are considered. In the context of this issue, special attention is paid to competitiveness as an important indicator, which is the main feature that characterizes the availability and development of material, financial capabilities and is a prerequisite for the effective functioning of economic entities. An integrated approach to assessing the development of rural areas is also provided, which takes into account demographic indicators, socioeconomic indicators and indicators of quality of life. On the basis of the carried out analysis of the existing systems of indicators, their shortcomings have been identified and recommendations for their improvement have been proposed. In particular, the need to introduce integral indicators that take into account the sustainability of development, innovative technologies and social factors is emphasized. The main factors influencing the efficiency of functioning of enterprises of the AIC are suggested, in order to take them into account in the development of development strategies. As a result of the study, the impact of current strategies on the efficiency of the functioning of enterprises and the development of rural areas is assessed and it is found that in order to ensure sustainable development, it is necessary to regularly update the system of indicators and adapt strategies taking into account changes in the external environment. Practical recommendations for improving the effectiveness of these strategies are also provided. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Architecture of the Institutional Environment Components for the Development of a Circular Agrarian Economy (p. 281 - 289)
The article substantiates the composition, nature of action and role of the institutional environment in the context of accelerating the development of circular processes in socioeconomic agrarian systems and develops a conceptual scheme of the architecture of its components. The determinants of regional diffusion of the circular economy are defined. It is determined that there are three key determinants of endogenous and exogenous transformation towards the transition to circular business models: availability of knowledge, perception and understanding of benefits regarding the movement of material flows; availability, functioning and maturity of logistics and material value chains; values and models of business activity and cooperation. It is proved that the intensification of circular transformations in the economy requires a deep understanding of the mechanisms of movement of material and logistical flows, which underlie industrial symbiosis and ecosystems. Such systems reuse resources, reducing dependence on primary materials and optimizing costs. The shared use of products and resources is institutionalized through appropriate infrastructure and market mechanisms. In the conception proposed by the author, the structural architecture of the institutional environment for the development of circular agroeconomics consists of two main elements: formal and informal environment. The formal environment directly influences the motives, incentives and conditions of the business, facilitating the implementation of closed-loop business models. The informal environment acts indirectly, forming and supporting the values, perception and understanding by society of the importance of circular changes for present and future generations. This indirect influence is expressed in the formation of economic relations through consumer needs, preferences and requests, which creates demand in the market of goods and services and serves as a competitive benchmark for business.

The Key Aspects and Approaches of Management of ESG Programs at Enterprises of the Agricultural Complex of Ukraine (p. 290 - 297)
The article analyzes the importance of integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles into the activities of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine in the context of global challenges, such as climate change and social inequality. There is a substantiated need to adapt international experience to Ukrainian realities and include ESG programs in the strategic management of enterprises. The key aspects of this approach are characterized, including transparent planning, organization, management and control of resources. The article also discusses the practical aspects of the implementation of ESG programs, in particular the project approach, which consists of clearly defining goals and objectives, detailed planning, creating a project team, effective communication and coordination, constant monitoring of progress and making adjustments. It is proved that the implementation of an ESG strategy requires a system approach and constant adaptation to changes in the external environment and internal processes of the company. The structure of the program for the implementation of the ESG strategy is proposed, which includes the analysis of the current state of the enterprise, the definition of goals and indicators, the development and implementation of policies and procedures, training and involvement of staff, monitoring and reporting. The main stages of the implementation of ESG programs are characterized, such as management involvement and policy setting, risk and opportunity assessment, development of an ESG action plan, implementation of ESG measures, monitoring and evaluation of results, communication and reporting. It is proved that the implementation of ESG programs at the level of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine contributes to reducing risks, increasing competitiveness, attracting investments and ensuring long-term sustainable development. Research shows that effective implementation of ESG programs requires a systematic approach that includes clear planning, organization, management, and control of resources. It is also important to ensure proper communication and coordination between project team members, as well as regularly monitor progress and make adjustments. Therefore, the management of ESG programs in the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine should become a strategic priority, which will help increase competitiveness, attract investment and ensure long-term sustainable development.

Challenges of Modern Human Capital Development in Rural Areas of Ukraine in the Conditions of Economic Transformations (p. 297 - 307)
The article is concerned with systematization of factors that hinder the development of human capital in rural areas of Ukraine and are components of the mechanism of its destruction. The factors of destruction of human capital in rural areas are: low-quality school education; poor medical care; unsatisfactory level of development of social infrastructure; monopsony of agricultural enterprises in the rural labor market; low level of development of non-agricultural species; urbanization and the growth of rural unemployment. These factors cause such challenges as low labor productivity, high potential for unemployment and marginalization, excess of mortality over birth rate, migration, low incomes and depopulation of rural areas, which, in turn, lead to the destruction of human capital in rural areas. The development of human capital in rural areas of Ukraine largely depends on social infrastructure. The revival of the village is impossible without the priority development of its social sphere, which requires comprehensive institutional and material measures. Improving the quality of educational and medical services, as well as the development of socio-cultural facilities are critically important for stable economic development and improving the well-being of the population in rural areas. The problems of implementing the strategic task of reproduction and development of human capital in rural areas are caused by the low level of innovation and technological modernization in the agrarian sector, which negatively affects labor productivity. The existing link between the development of human capital and the socioeconomic progress of rural areas emphasizes the need to create conditions for the reproduction of human capital through the development of entrepreneurship, improving the quality of labor potential and social infrastructure. Effective human capital development in rural areas requires overcoming these challenges through an integrated approach that includes innovative solutions, investment in social and productive infrastructure, and increased entrepreneurship.

Analyzing the Approaches to Assessment of Agricultural Risk Methods (p. 203 - 208)
The aim of the article is to analyze the approaches to assessing methods of agricultural risk and determine the advantages and disadvantages of these methods. Analyzing, systematizing and summarizing the scientific works of many scholars, the views of researchers on the definition of the concept of «risk of agrarian entrepreneurship» were considered. An analysis of approaches to the assessment of methods has been carried out, the advantages and disadvantages of their application for agricultural risk assessment have been identified. As a result of the study, the features of the manifestation of agricultural risk in the conditions of entrepreneurship are allocated, as well as the main groups of factors influencing the risks of agricultural entrepreneurship. It is determined that the methods of agricultural risk assessment are divided into two groups: direct assessment methods, which allow to make calculations on the basis of the analyzed information; indirect assessment methods that apply the quantitative implications of the use of other methods. Indirect methods are auxiliary, although they provide an opportunity to get a more complete picture of risks and further decision-making. It is substantiated that each of the approaches has its own advantages and limitations, and their choice depends on the specifics of the risks that need to be assessed, as well as on the available data and resources. It is determined that the most acceptable method for assessing agricultural risks is expert method in combination with ranking, the use of which makes it possible to outline problem points and «risk zones», also to obtain a quantitative indicator of risk in a particular area of activity or implementation of the general strategy of enterprise development. It is emphasized that the integration of several approaches allows to obtain a more complete picture of risks and develop effective strategies for their minimization. Article is written in Ukrainian
