Abstract

The article examines the modern prerequisites for the functioning of the infrastructure of the agricultural market. The strategic importance of innovative principles of agricultural market infrastructure development in ensuring the support of the processes of efficient functioning of the agricultural sector, increasing the scale of management of agricultural producers and the implementation of the processes of expanded reproduction is substantiated. The main shortcomings that hinder the development of agricultural market infrastructure in Ukraine have been identified, the main ones being the following: underdeveloped regional network of innovative wholesale markets, technological backwardness of their trade business processes and insufficient level of logistics; non-prevalence of practices of integration and cooperation between the subjects of the agricultural sector of the economy, insufficient socio-psychological incentives for the implementation of integration processes, the lack of agrarian-industrial clusters; insufficient level of logistical support for the development of agricultural market infrastructure and neglect of road transport in rural areas; underdeveloped infrastructure of exchange trading facilities. A set of innovative approaches to the development of agricultural market infrastructure is proposed: development of a regional network of innovative wholesale objects (formation of agro-industrial clusters, implementation of a comprehensive program of regional markets development, introduction of public-private partnership mechanisms); innovative modernization of logistics support of the agricultural market (instruments of grant and project support, equipment leasing and preferential lending, diversification of transport flows of agricultural entities); development of innovative horizontal-vertical integration structures (formation of social and psychological incentives for integration, implementation of information and promotion campaign, state support for the development of cooperation); development of agricultural stock trading (reduction of bureaucratic obstacles, consulting support for concluding stock trading contracts, attracting foreign investment).
