ОЦІНКА ФАКТОРІВ ВПЛИВУ НА РОЗВИТОК ЗОВНІШНЬОЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ АГРАРНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ

Abstract

In determining the influence of factors on the development of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises, the index method, which is one of the main methods of statistical analysis, is used. It has been established that the largest share in the commodity structure is occupied by: cereals, oilseeds, vegetable oil, meat and meat products, and milk and dairy products. Therefore, it is advisable to use these products for factor analysis of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises. The article examines changes in the value, physical volume, and commodity structure of agricultural exports and calculates the absolute change in exports, the growth rate and the growth rate of exports, and its commodity structure. Among the calculated indicators of the factor analysis of export efficiency, the most significant was the contract price index, and the least significant was the physical volume index, i.e., the efficiency of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises is most affected by the cost of exported products, not their volume. Most of the interviewed experts from among the managers of agricultural enterprises in Lviv region engaged in foreign economic activity identified the factors that determine the political situation in the country and its stability, the level of competitiveness of domestic goods and the complexity of the foreign economic activity procedure as the most important factors affecting the success of the implementation of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises in general. It is proved that the results obtained in assessing the factors influencing the foreign economic activity of agrarian enterprises in Lviv region, in terms of their significance, can be trusted and used in further research. The standard deviation for the mean values presented in the analysis is 15.4% of the mean value. Thus, expert estimates vary on average by 14-15%, which proves a high level of consistency in the opinions of the surveyed experts. This, in turn, confirms the statistical significance of the study and the fact that the weighting factors obtained as a result of further calculations can be used in practice.
