Financial security of the competitiveness of business subjects in the agro-food sphere

Abstract

The aggravation of the global problem of hunger in the world significantly actualizes the task of guaranteeing national food security and expanding Ukraine's participation in the global agro-food chain. The inclusion of value in European and global agro-food chains is currently a priority with the strategic task of developing the agrarian sector, which requires increasing the competitiveness of domestic agricultural raw materials and their food processing products. It is necessary to outline the mission vision of long-term goals and objectives of sustainable development of the agricultural sector and search for effective mechanisms to ensure the achievement of the set goals and objectives of agricultural management to find strategic mechanisms for managing competitive agricultural production at the initial stage. The importance and priority of the agricultural sector for achieving global and national goals of sustainable development led to the realization of the need to find practical tools and mechanisms for strategic management of the competitiveness of agricultural production. Effective development of the agricultural sector and rural areas in the future is possible only based on sustainability and inclusiveness, which requires an integrated approach to management decision-making. The effectiveness of the strategic management of agriculture will be expressed in how quickly and adequately the management system will respond to new requirements, opportunities, challenges, and threats created by the competitive environment. Inclusive provision of business entities of the agro-food sector with financial resources becomes an essential condition for further developing its industries and solving the strategic task of increasing the level of competitiveness. The central core of the mechanism of inclusive provision of agriculture is the investment factor, which forms the prerequisite for the activation of innovative processes both in production and in the further development of rural areas.
