МОНІТОРИНГ РОЗВИТКУ АГРОПРОМИСЛОВОГО КОМПЛЕКСУ УКРАЇНИ

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to monitor the development of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine, to identify problems related to the further development of the industry. The indicators of the development of the agro-industrial complex in Ukraine were analyzed, namely: the sown area and the gross harvest of agricultural crops; the number of farm animals and the production of the main types of animal husbandry products; commodity structure of foreign trade of Ukraine; indicators of the development of the food industry of Ukraine; dynamics and structure of export of finished food products; indicators of export and import of ready-made food products. The conclusions were drawn that: according to many indicators, cultivated areas in Ukraine are increasing, but there are also indicators that are decreasing (TOP-3 regions: Poltava, Ternopil and Vinnytsia); there is also a positive trend in terms of increasing the gross collection of agricultural crops in Ukraine in 2021 (Top-5 leaders: Poltava, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Vinnytsia and Sumy regions); animal husbandry in Ukraine has serious prospects for development in view of the shortage of milk and meat, but it needs the support of the state, since it directly affects the food security of the state; the number of dairy cows has decreased, which leads to an increase in the price of whole milk and a shortage of raw materials for processors; the largest share of exports is crop production; agricultural producers of Ukraine need additional financing; recently, in the structure of Ukraine's exports, the share of goods with a high added value, primarily readymade food products, is decreasing, while their share in imports is increasing, forming a growing negative balance. It is noted that the export and production of goods with a low degree of processing leads to a crisis, that is, a decrease in income from each unit of commodity sales, as enterprises that produce products with a high added value prevail. It can be concluded that deindustrialization dictates the conditions for the transition of Ukraine, as an agrarian country, to a country with a technological process of deep processing and production of innovative products. A complete reorientation and changes in the strategic planning of the country's economic development are necessary. The state policy of the country should be aimed at promoting the development of agriculture, namely the production of goods with high added value (high-tech and innovative products).
