INVESTMENT SECURITY OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF UKRAINE’S AGRICULTURAL SECTOR DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The current situation of the Ukrainian economy’s agricultural sector and investment processes associated to its development, as well as the essential organizational measures aimed at assuring the long-term economic impact of the state economy’s agrarian sector development, have been studied. The study is divided into three sections that provide the theoretical foundation of the concept of “investment”; analysis of the development of the agrarian sector of Ukraine, its role in the national economy with the determination of trends in the export potential of agricultural production; analysis of the capital investments volumes in the agricultural sector by their production directions and types of assets. Correlation and regression analysis has been applied in order to assess the influence of the actual amount of capital investment during 2010–2021 in the agrarian sector of the Ukrainian economy on the effectiveness of agricultural production, which is evaluated by the indicator of the gross added value amount of the agrarian sector. It has been established that the investment policy of Ukraine’s agrarian sector is currently not an effective driver of the economic processes development in the agrarian industry. Due to this, the results of the activities of business entities are inefficient, which is caused, first of all, by the lack of financial and material resources, the disparity of prices and other organizational, economic and institutional factors. The importance of ensuring the competitiveness of agricultural production through the activation of investment support aimed at updating the organization of technological processes of production, the introduction of scientifically based norms of economic activity, and the systematization of the organizational and management system is highlighted.
