The emergence and development of large integrated formations in the domestic agro-industrial complex is a natural reflection of world trends. In the conditions of fierce competition on the market of agricultural goods and food, large integrated structures, using the advantages of specialization, concentration and cooperation, are able to achieve a high level of marketability and profitability of production in a short period of time. In conditions of weak state support, agro-industrial formations became the main investors of agricultural organizations and received comprehensive support and assistance in certain regions. The rate of development of the agricultural sector in such regions shows that large agro-industrial formations contribute to the growth of agricultural production, employment and incomes of the rural population. They are able to ensure a certain price parity between the agricultural sector and other sectors of the economy, reduce prices and make products more accessible to the population by eliminating intermediary structures. The development and improvement of the economic efficiency of various integrated formations and their prospects is a complex and contradictory process, since the current situation largely depends on the political, legal, socio-economic and other conditions in the country. The development of agro-industrial integration is a complex objective economic process. Agricultural enterprises enter into integration ties, seeking to mitigate the risk caused by the specifics of agricultural production. Agricultural enterprises also strive to ensure stable incomes thanks to the availability of a reliable raw material base and sales markets for their products. These prerequisites created the conditions and gave impetus to the revival, formation and development of integrated associations in agriculture and explored their significance for small forms of entrepreneurship. Therefore, the development of integration processes in the field of agro-industrial complex may be the most important condition for revitalizing the activity of agro-industrial complex organizations and stabilizing the region's economy. In this article, we conducted a theoretical review of the classification of integration processes. Scientific works and publications of domestic and foreign scientists and specialists in the field of integration processes on the investigated problem served as the theoretical basis of the research.

ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТЬ ОРГАНИЧЕСКОГО СЕЛЬСКОГО ХОЗЯЙСТВА В УСЛОВИЯХ НАУЧНО - ТЕХНОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО СУВЕРЕНИТЕТА

Organic agriculture is increasingly being developed in the countries of the world as a segment and direction of improving modern agricultural production. The increase in crop yields and animal productivity, compensation and increase in land fertility is achieved on the basis of biotechnologies, agrotechnical techniques and the organization of production, in which biomaterials, natural fauna, selection and seed production adapted to local conditions are used instead of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and fun-gicides. In the article, organic technologies are referred to the section of new technolo-gies that combine the concept of AgroTech or high agro-industrial technologies and "Agriculture 4.0", while the prerequisites, resource potential, opportunities and achievement of the effectiveness of organic agriculture in Russia in the conditions of scientific and technological sovereignty with the use of a reasonable name are consid-ered. crop rotation crops, biological plant protection products, including entomophag-es, agrotechnical techniques, production organization, cooperation and agro-industrial integration. The efficiency of organic agriculture and the factors of its increase in the production of organic agricultural products in the Altai Territory are shown.

The state and prospects of development of the agricultural sector through the prism of entrepreneurship

The agricultural sector is an essential strategic branch of Ukraine's national economy and guarantees our country's food security and self-sufficiency. The modern agro-industrial complex is an essential sector of Ukraine's economy. The agricultural sector forms food security, realizes economic, ecological, and energy security within certain limits, guarantees the development of technologically related branches of the national economy, and creates socio-economic conditions for developing rural areas. The article describes the current state of Ukraine's agro-industrial complex and its development features. The significance of agriculture for the national economy is determined. Trends in the development of rural areas, employment, and unemployment, and the influence of internal and external factors on these processes are analyzed. The problems of material and technical, investment, and financial support of the agro-industrial complex have been identified. It is shown that the decline of the agro-industrial complex affects the processing industry. The prerequisites for developing Ukraine's agrarian sector in the conditions of market formation and ways of solving strategic issues of ensuring national food security and competitiveness of the agro-food complex on domestic and foreign markets are highlighted. It is proposed to continue improving the mechanisms of co-financing of key economic measures and programs aimed at the development of agriculture, considering the solution of the national tasks of creating a single economic space and equalizing the living conditions of the rural population. One of the strategic directions for developing the agro-industrial complex should be state support for farmers. The agricultural sector has the potential to double the production of agricultural products. A prerequisite for the effective development of the agro-industrial complex is ensuring adaptation to changes in the external environment, which is possible only based on a strategic approach to managing the agro-industrial complex. Keywords: agriculture, market, potential, management, agro-industrial complex, agro-industrial cluster, agro-industrial integration.

Развитие межмуниципального и межрегионального сотрудничества как фактор самообеспечения продукцией сельского хозяйства

The article examines the state and problems of self-sufficiency in basic agricultural products in the Republic of Bashkortostan under the imposed sanctions restrictions, and provides ways to increase the level of food self-sufficiency in the region. The research revealed the advantages of agro-industrial integration and cooperation of agricultural producers, processors of agricultural raw materials and retail chains, including through an increase in value-added products. Proposals have been developed for the creation of various territorial agricultural clusters using the mechanism of intermunicipal and interregional cooperation for selfsufficiency in agricultural products and achieving food security of the regions and the country.

Антропогенные риски электроустановок с учетом концепции стоимости человеческой жизни

The idea of using expert systems in the problems of modeling and assessing anthropogenic risks is presented. The application of the concept of the cost of human life to calculate the integral value of anthropogenic risks and its direction for assessing the damage to an enterprise from the action of hazardous factors is proposed. Keywords: AGRO-INDUSTRIAL INTEGRATION, INTEGRATION INTERACTIONS, MODEL OF INTEGRATION INTERACTIONS, HOLDING MODEL, CLUSTER MODEL

INTEGRATIVE PROCESSES IN THE AGRICULTURAL COMPLEX OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY

In the article, the study of the essence of agro-industrial integration was further developed. It is well-founded that the creation of integrated agricultural formations contributes to the achievement of a synergistic effect, however, excessive integration has negative socio-economic consequences: monopolization of the agricultural market, making it impossible to form competitive advantages of small commodity producers, reducing the need for labor, and therefore the threat of unemployment in the countryside, which emphasizes the need for anti-monopoly control and regulation of the economy by the state, as well as support for alternative forms of combining the efforts of agricultural producers, in particular, agricultural service cooperatives. The question of the formation of product sub-complexes within the agro-industrial complex was studied. The peculiarities of inter-branch integrated structures and components of the agrarian-industrial production cycle are considered. The positive consequences of the functioning of product verticals are highlighted. Scientific views on the role of the agrarian sphere in the economy through the prism of trends in the development of the world economy are determined. It is well-founded that the main criterion for determining the role of agro-industrial complex in the economy of rural areas is the employment level of the population. The role of the agricultural sector in the regions of Ukraine is analyzed based on the employment criterion. A mechanism for the development of the agro-industrial sector as the basis of the economy of rural areas is proposed, the implementation of which is based on integration, investment and innovation directions. It is substantiated that despite the diversification processes of the economy of these territorial entities, most of them have agro-industrial specialization, so their development depends on the changes taking place in the agricultural sector. But the inconsistency of the impact of European integration on the development of the agrarian sector causes an equally contradictory situation in the socio-economic development of rural areas, as it involves the uncertainty of external conditions for their functioning and the strengthening of interregional competition. All this requires a new theoretical assessment of the peculiarities of the functioning of the agricultural sector as the basis for the development of the economy of rural areas in the context of European integration processes.

A Study on Effect of Agriculture on Agro- Based Industries and Impact of Agro-based Industries on Indian Economy

The paper is the result of a theoretical study made on agriculture and agro-based industries in India. The paper is an attempt to emphasize the impact of agriculture on agro-based industrial sectors and to analyze the problems and prospects of agro-based industries in India. The paper begins with the discussion of the definition of agro-based industries along with the types of agro-based industries. It has been found that agro-based industries are like the sunrise sector of the Indian economy in view of its large potential for growth and likely socio-economic impact specifically on employment and income generation. Studying the growth of agriculture and agro-based industries, the paper found that it is a joint process for achieving economic development of India having a quite strong agricultural base. In simple words, the paper throws light on the fact that agro-industrial integration is one of the right steps in this direction. Moreover it has also been found that the potential for agro-industrial development in India is largely linked to the relative abundance of agricultural raw materials and availability of low-cost labour. However, a study on the present condition of the agro-based industries of India showed that the agro-based industries of India are in the crisis, in spite of having undoubtedly high prospects for its development. The agro-based are facing various problems regarding lack of technology, non-availability of research lab for quality control, financial assistance and improper marketing channel. Thus, from the extensive theoretical study made on the topic it can be concluded that if this sector is properly developed, it can make India a major player at the international level for marketing and supply of agro-based industrial products opening the door for India’s economic development.

INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY

The article outlines the theoretical aspects and clarifies the essential characteristics of the concept of "agro-industrial integration", examines modern forms of interaction between agricultural enterprises and enterprises of other sectors of the agro-industrial complex, and substantiates the need for the creation of integrated production. It was determined that the modern agricultural and industrial complex (AIC) is an important sector of the economy of Ukraine. Almost a third of the main productive assets are concentrated in it, a fourth of the population employed in the national economy works, more than 20% of the gross social product and a third of the national income are produced, and 70% of retail turnover is formed. The theoretical and methodological basis is the works of leading domestic economists, which consider modern aspects of strategic management, investment, and innovative development of the agro-industrial complex (AIC), problems of strategic development, and economic security as an essential component of the national economy. The work uses the methods of generalization, abstraction, analysis, and synthesis. The success of the development strategy largely depends on the validity of measures to respond to changes and market expectations in the long term, that is, on the effectiveness of strategic management and the implementation of a system of measures to ensure the most rational use of strategic resources, the identification of reserves and the appropriate level of economic security. In current conditions, the level of protection is an essential factor that affects the activities of all business entities, as well as the state and dynamics of the development of the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises. Due to correctly chosen strategic orientations and timely implementation of development strategies, agribusiness enterprises can fight for increased market share and acquire new competitive advantages. The expediency of ensuring the competitiveness of the region's agricultural enterprises, and diversifying their production through creating an integrated structure, is substantiated. Keywords: strategic management, agricultural enterprise, agro-industrial cluster, agro-industrial integration, strategic directions of development.

The article deals with the essence of the cluster approach as an effective form of agro-industrial integration. The main influential integration factors that can contribute to the growth of the national economy, as well as to leveling possible negative challenges to the development of agricultural production are identified. The main aspects of integration that can cause quite attractive prospects by establishing links between previously disparate elements that integrate into a single organizational and economic structure in the agro-industrial complex are identified. The author characterizes horizontal and vertical forms of agro-industrial integration. Through a comparative analysis of the most important properties of clusters and vertically integrated structures, their common features and specific differences between them are identified. It is established that one of the most effective ways of agro-industrial integration is clustering. This form of integration is manifested through the expansion and deepening of production and technological ties between enterprises, the joint use of resources and the pooling of capital. The list of key stages of formation and development of an agricultural cluster is determined. A cluster is formed by integrating economically independent enterprises in the production and service sectors, creators of technologies and know-how, which are geographically close and interact within a single chain of consumer value creation. According to the cluster approach, the most important features of an economic cluster are neighboring geographically interconnected enterprises and related organizations and institutions operating in a particular area. Clusters focus on a specific localized territorial unit rather than an industry. Given the favorable geopolitical position and competitive advantages of the region, favorable conditions are created for increasing labor productivity and expanding business potential. It is emphasized that the creation of a cluster makes it possible to realize a synergistic effect, which is expressed in an increase in labor productivity and a decrease in production costs due to the specialization of enterprises and organizations within the cluster.

Strategic imperatives of institutionalization of the development of rural areas through the support of new type of agricultural formations

The article emphasizes the need for the transformation of agro-industrial production as one of the leading sectors of the national economy, which over a long period of development was able to reach such a level that it not only covers domestic food needs but also occupies a significant niche in the world markets. The current stage of Ukraine’s development will undoubtedly lead to the entry of our state into international political, social, military, and economic structures. Overcoming the negative impact of the factors of the development of agro-industrial production is possible through a deep reform of the institutional environment for the development of rural areas and agro-industrial production. The main imperatives of such a strategy should include the creation and ensuring the effective functioning of integrated agricultural formations of a new type in connection with the development of communities. It should lead to the expansion, rationalization, and mutual coordination of the range of economic, social, and ecological interests of the state, local authorities and self-government, producers of agricultural products, and the rural population. The current stage of the country’s socio-economic development is determined by the need for post-war modernization and recovery of all spheres of life in Ukrainian society, requiring the selection and purposeful research of the most relevant types of agro-industrial integration, which would ensure activation and improvement of the efficiency of integration processes, including cooperatives and clusters. The article emphasizes that the support of agro-industrial formations of a new type based on ensuring the mutually agreed interests of food producers and rural areas should be achieved due to the synergetic effect of agro-industrial integration, which will significantly increase the effectiveness of such interaction. The authors prove that the state’s efforts in the process of post-war reconstruction of the region should focus on the development, approval, active implementation, and support of the agricultural formations, the effectiveness of which will depend not only on the development of rural areas but also on the entire country as a whole.

ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ АГРОПРОМЫШЛЕННОЙ ИНТЕГРАЦИИ ОБЛАСТЕЙ УРАЛЬСКОГО ФЕДЕРАЛЬНОГО ОКРУГА С НОВЫМИ РЕГИОНАМИ (ЛНР, ДНР, ЗАПОРОЖСКАЯ ОБЛАСТЬ, ХЕРСОНСКАЯ ОБЛАСТЬ)

The article analyzes the prospects of interaction of the Ural Federal District with new regions of the Russian Federation in the context of agro-industrial integration. This work reveals the specifics of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) of the Ural region and possible interaction with such territories as the Zaporozhye, Kherson regions, Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. The study characterizes the key areas of agricultural development in the Ural Federal District, the potential for the development of the region in this direction, as well as the possibilities of sectoral integration with other territories, including new ones in the Russian Federation. Considering the above, the purpose of our work is to study the prospects of agro-industrial integration of the Ural Federal District with new regions of the Russian Federation. At the same time, we have concretized the features of the agro-industrial complex of the Ural region, the subject is the integration of the Ural District and the new territories of the Russian Federation. In the context of the research topic, the author analyzes the main directions of agricultural development in the Urals and the possibility of its use for the economic growth of new developing regions. Also in the course of the work, the author offers recommendations on the development of interaction between these economic entities.

Formation of the System of Agro-Industrial Integration in the Context of Strategic Management of the Agro-Enterprises Development

The article examines the issue of strategic management of the development of agribusiness enterprises based on the formation of the system of agro-industrial integration. The essence of the concept of "management method" is defined as a way of influencing the subject of management on the object in order to achieve the set goal. The existing classifications of management methods are considered, followed by the selection of economic methods. A methodical approach to setting and solving problems of strategic management of enterprise development based on the formation of a system of agro-industrial integration of enterprises is justified. The feasibility of using a resource approach to the development of economic relations between enterprises as a basis for the development of economic entities in agro-industrial production has been proven. The essence of the resource (logistic) approach to the formation of a system of strategic management of the development of agro-industrial complex enterprises consists in the organization of rational management of flow processes of resources, as one of the leading factors of the competitiveness of systems.

Economic aspects of integration ties in dairy cattle breeding development in Ukraine

The article deals with economic aspects of integration ties in dairy cattle breeding development of Ukraine. Mutually benefcial integration of agricultural organizations with other market players signifcantly improves their economic stability. In addition to system-wide factors that determine agro-industrial integration, dairy subcomplex has a number of specifc features that determine occurrence and development of integration processes in the feld of production, processing and sales of milk. It is proved that a cooperative form of ownership may compete with joint stock in a global scale in dairy subcomplex mainly due to the fact that vertical cooperation has prevailed historically in countries specializing in milk production, which allows farmers to manage income from the dairy products sale. High dairy business concentration provides cooperatives with the opportunity to use the latest processing technologies, to pursue flexible commodity policies, to get access to interregional and international markets, to combine dairy business with logistics and other important services, to reduce the negative influence of seasonal fluctuations in milk production. The characteristic feature of the relationship between domestic milk producers and processing enterprises is its non-cooperative integration, which is based on contractual arrangements. To summarize the contracting type of dairy factories integration with agricultural producers, it should be noted that in this rather simple form of economic relations involves opportunities for further development. It is established that the low activity of establishing and dairy cooperatives running is inefcient due to low activity rural residents who farm cows. In our opinion, there are no prerequisites for agricultural cooperatives establishment in most regions since most of the population have only one cow and is focused on its self-provision. We believe that dairy-grocery cluster based on the principles of mutually benefcial long-term partnership between the subjects is the driving force in ensuring economic growth in the examined industry. It creates conditions for employment growth in the region, proposals for high-quality dairy raw materials and safe milk products. In general, this will contribute to the sustainable development of dairy cattle breeding enterprises in the region and other participants of the cluster association. Key words: dairy cattle breeding, cooperation, integration, cluster, agricultural enterprise, personal peasant farm.

AGRO-INDUSTRIAL INTEGRATION AS A FACTOR IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENTERPRISES FOR THE PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING OF OIL CROPS PRODUCTS

The importance of the transition of economic and industrial relations to a higher level of development actualizes theoretical and practical research on agribusiness management based on modeling economic behavior in integration structures, considering modern global challenges. The study aims to determine the features, advantages, and disadvantages of agro-industrial integration as a factor in developing enterprises for producing and processing oilseed products in modern conditions. According to the results of the conducted research, it can be concluded that today, the enterprises for the production and processing of oil crop products need to strengthen their competitive positions in the target markets and, therefore, find ways to form and protect competitive advantages, both based on quality and costs. A clear, balanced strategy of agro-industrial integration can help in this. As practice shows, this is preceded by an analysis of the current model of economic behavior and the determination of changes in it due to new economic conditions. The features and types of such integration are clarified. An analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of vertical and horizontal integration was carried out. It is proven that the economic behavior of the enterprise as part of an integrated structure will differ depending on the state of the economy in the country where the business is based, as well as on the potential of partners, which will cause the achievement of a negative or positive synergistic effect. Integrative transformations are strategic decisions that require improving skills and business capabilities. The importance of the human factor in agro-industrial integration has been proven. This is because supply, production, logistics, and trade are different areas in the oil business and, therefore, are critical success factors. It was also found that positive changes in the external environment can cause changes in the internal environment and enterprises’ economic behavior. The problems accumulated during martial law, the closure (or loss) of business, and the chaotic economic behavior of many farmers today indicate that it becomes easier and unfounded with a thorough understanding of the motives of the enterprises’ behavior.

Proposal of Agro-Industrial Integration Heat Transport System Using High-Performance Medium for the Realization of a Sustainable Society

The aim of this study is to propose an agro-industrial heat transport system from industrial to agricultural areas for horticultural facilities with high heat demand to fill the problematic gap in the current heat transport system, and to derive by simulation the conditions under which this system can be used economically as well as environmentally. In this study, HASClay was used as a high-performance medium. HASClay has the ability to supply carbon dioxide (CO2) at the same time as heat and dehumidify the inside of the house, so it can be expected to increase the yield in addition to reducing the environmental load by using heat. The simulation results show that the proposed system of supplying heat to a large greenhouse in HASClay in 20-ton containers would have an economic budget similar to that of the previous system, but with an environmental impact of about 80% less tomatoes and 84% less chrysanthemum fuel than the previous system of heating with fuel oil. On the other hand, the analysis showed that the power of the fan could be reduced as an improvement of the heat transport problem using HASClay. As a countermeasure, the use of natural energy and the change of the fan for heat supply from a damper system to an inverter system to control the air volume were considered. For transport to the 10a scale, which has environmental advantages, a system was proposed in which the heat from the HASClay is divided into mini-tanks and transported to stations envisaged in each region, where it is collected by the agricultural producers. In summary, the authors concluded that our proposal for an agro-industrial fusion system based on the transport of heat using HASClay is an effective method for the realization of a sustainable society. The environmental benefits of the project are likely to attract participation from the industrial sphere in order to meet future demands for CO2 reductions.

Collective intellectual property as a tool for the development of agro-industrial integration

The search for a balance of interaction between large and small agricultural production is relevant. The possibilities for the development of small-scale commodity production, its competitiveness in the conditions of industrialization, are rather associated with the coverage of a non-industrial market segment. Large agricultural organizations, being system integrators, can also become integrators of small forms of cooperation, since they have significant resource potential and management experience. At the same time, a special role in directing agricultural holdings and large agricultural organizations to integration with small commodity producers should be assigned to the state. The article presents recommendations for the development of agro-industrial integration based on collective intellectual property. It has been suggested that agreements in the field of intellectual property can become instruments for the development of agro-industrial integration. They will strengthen integration processes, create an additional stream of income, and ensure the protection of competitive advantages. The types and advantages of collective intellectual property are highlighted. A universal algorithm for registration and use of collective trademarks is proposed. The results make some contribution to the theory of the development of agro-industrial integration. General scientific methods of studying economic phenomena are used.

РЕГИОНАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ ПРОИЗВОДСТВА И ПЕРЕРАБОТКИ ПЛОДОВО-ЯГОДНОЙ ПРОДУКЦИИ В РЕСПУБЛИКЕ ДАГЕСТАН

The article discusses the development of intensive horticulture, the functioning of the existing forms of management in the sub-sector and enterprises of the fruit processing industry of the Republic of Dagestan at the present stage. Regional statistical materials for the period 2015–2021 were used as initial data. The purpose of the article is to reveal the possibilities of restoration and effective functioning of the fruit subcomplex through organizational transformations in the region. The relevance of this research lies in the development of a modern model of the functioning of agricultural and fruit processing enterprises. It is shown that the solution of this problem affects a wide range of urgent tasks of economic agrarian science, including issues of technical and technological renewal, innovative development, cooperation and agro-industrial integration, state support. The results of the study show that the structure of fruit and berry production in the region has not changed, personal subsidiary farms of the population still occupy the leading position (88%). During the above–mentioned analyzed period, there is a tendency to increase the share of agricultural enterprises from 4.4 to 8% and peasant (farm) farms – from 1.1 to 4%. The sociological survey showed a positive attitude of agricultural producers to the process of cooperation in the republic, but at the same time their unwillingness to unite in any direction was revealed. The article proposes an economic and organizational approach to the creation of a corporation in the region, which includes agricultural producers, a fruit processing complex, trade, commodity infrastructure, agricultural service, financial, scientific units. The implementation of the proposed model of the corporation, it seems, will increase the competitiveness of all participants, and will also contribute to solving key socio-economic problems of rural areas of the republic. The materials of this study will be useful for drawing up programs for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the region.

АГРОСАНОАТ ИНТЕГРАЦИЯСИДА ҚЎШИЛГАН ҚИЙМАТ ЗАНЖИРИ
