PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF UKRAINE IN THE CONDITIONS OF POST-WAR RECOVERY

Abstract

THE PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE is to determine promising directions for the development of the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine in the conditions of post-war recovery.
RESEARCH METHODS. In the process of writing the article, general scientific and special research methods of the agro-industrial sector were used, including: induction and deduction; structural and logical analysis; extrapolations; tabular and graphic.
PRESENTATION OF THE MAIN RESEARCH MATERIAL. The article determines that the agro-industrial sector is one of the key sectors of the country's economy, which made a significant contribution to the country's GDP before the war. Since the beginning of the war, the agro-industrial sector has suffered significant losses and needs to be restored and further developed. Prospective ways of development of the agro-industrial sector have been determined, which can be carried out in three key areas: activation of own reserves of agricultural enterprises; receiving donor international aid; development of the state agrarian policy of post-war recovery. It has been proven that the restoration of broken agro- food chains and the inclusion of domestic agricultural enterprises in global agro-food chains is a promising direction for the development of the country's agro-industrial sector. It was found that the agro-food chain is a set of interdependent enterprises that have united on a voluntary basis and closely cooperate in the process of agricultural production. It has been proven that the restoration of the agro-food chain will take place in the event that it includes enterprises for cultivation (fattening), processing, transportation, storage and sale of agricultural products.
CONCLUSIONS FROM THE CONDUCTED RESEARCH. The restoration of broken agro-food chains and the inclusion of domestic agricultural enterprises in global agro-food chains will contribute to their accelerated recovery, reducing the level of costs for production, transportation, storage, processing and sale of agricultural products; accelerating the recovery of agricultural enterprises due to the joint interaction of participants in agro-food chains; increasing the level of quality of agricultural products.
