Research on the influence factors of sustainable development of plateau characteristic agriculture based on DEMATEL and AISM combined model.

Under the background of the continuous progress of China's agricultural reform, the development of characteristic agriculture is an important field of agricultural development in the country and even the world. Yunnan has unique advantages in geography, location, climate, and human resources, and has unique conditions for the development of agriculture with plateau characteristic. However, the sustainable development of agriculture with plateau characteristic is affected and restricted by many factors. How to promote the sustainable development of agriculture with plateau characteristic is an important research topic, and it is also the main purpose of this study. Therefore, through literature analysis and investigation, this study studies the advantages and disadvantages, development status, main problems, countermeasures and suggestions, macro development direction, and theoretical research methods of characteristic agriculture in the Yunnan plateau. This paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and the Adversarial Interpretation Structure Modeling Method (AISM) and proposes to combine the two models to make up for each other and improve the accuracy of model analysis. On this basis, a set of identification and evaluation systems of factors affecting the sustainable development of agriculture with plateau characteristic is established, which can comprehensively and accurately identify and evaluate various influencing factors, and provide a scientific basis for the sustainable development of agriculture with plateau characteristic. Finally, combined with the relevant statistical data of Yunnan Province from 2009 to 2020 and many results calculated by the model, the factors affecting the sustainable development of agriculture with plateau characteristic were comprehensively analyzed. The results show that transportation, environment, and insurance support factors are the root factors that affect the sustainable development of agriculture with plateau characteristic, while the regional economy, scientific and technological support, and the development of agricultural enterprises are of high importance. Financial support, the level of agricultural mechanization, the quality of labor, and other factors can not be ignored. Finally, according to the results of the analysis, the corresponding policy recommendations are put forward to provide a reference for the sustainable development of plateau characteristic agriculture in Yunnan Province.

Methodological aspects of financial support investment and innovation development of agricultural enterprises

With the change in the geopolitical and economic situation, the emergence of new threats and challenges for domestic agricultural enterprises, the problem of increasing the efficiency of development, implementation, practical implementation of innovations and investment support of this process is becoming increasingly important. It has been established that the investment climate in Ukraine is extremely unfavorable for investors due to military actions on the territory of our country. Although, the indicator of the investment climate in 2021 acquired a "rather unfavorable" value by 53%, despite the fact that this year Ukraine reached the highest level of income from investments. The main groups of external and internal threats (at the state and enterprise level) to the innovative and investment development of agrarian enterprises are systematized and the system of financial support for their investment development is presented. Among the methods used to finance the investment and innovative development of agricultural enterprises, the following are distinguished: self-financing, equity, loan, state financing, financing at the expense of free assistance and charitable contributions, mixed financing, leasing, project financing. The principles of the functioning of the investment mechanism of agricultural enterprises are developed and the most important positive and negative aspects of investment financing sources are presented in a generalized form.

In turn, improving the quality of investment becomes the basis of the effective process of development and implementation of innovations, innovative development of the economic system. An innovative approach to determining the investment and innovation mechanism of agricultural enterprises is proposed. The list of principles of the investment and innovation mechanism (as an interacting set of methods, forms, sources of investment) is supplemented by the principles of scientificity and priority. The advantages and disadvantages of the main sources of investment financing (state financing; public-private partnership; profit; depreciation deductions; insurance reimbursements; bank credit; leasing; issue of shares; project financing; bond loans; public funds; funds of foreign investors) are revealed. The main factors affecting the choice of specific sources of investment resources formation of agricultural enterprises are noted. A system of indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of innovation implementation by types of effect is provided.

Features of modeling in agricultural production with risks

For the modern economy, the agricultural sector is an important link. In a market economy, agricultural management processes have become significantly more complex, as they develop under conditions of uncertainty. This leads to the need to take into account not only traditional factors of economic activity, but also supply and demand for agricultural products, weather conditions, which largely determine the economic efficiency of the agricultural sector. The uncertainty inherent in the agro-industrial complex is the main difficulty in scientific research into the structural and functional organization of this complex. Uncertainty is generated by many factors, the most important for agricultural production are weather and market conditions, scientific and technological progress. The need to take into account and manage weather risk arises from the objective requirements of a market economy, which requires enterprises to find ways to better adapt to external and internal conditions of operation and development of production. Agricultural production is constantly being reformed in market conditions. In this regard, there is a need to develop new methodological approaches to planning the safety and development of agricultural enterprises, associations and the agro-industrial complex as a whole. The study of these issues is possible through the use of economic-mathematical modeling and computers. The article discusses the concept of planning the use and development of agricultural enterprises under conditions of uncertainty. The concept is based on the development of organizational, economic and methodological approaches to the formation of the planning process, which provides agricultural enterprises with the prerequisites for better adaptation of production in conditions of weather risk, increasing the competitive level of enterprise sustainability.

РОЛЬ БДЖІЛЬНИЦТВА В ДОСЯГНЕННІ СТАЛОГО РОЗВИТКУ АГРАРНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ ТА СІЛЬСЬКИХ ТЕРИТОРІЙ

The improvement of the economic performance of agricultural enterprises should not be accompanied by the deterioration of the quality of the environment and cause social tension among the employees of the enterprise and the population living in the surrounding area. Therefore, the problem arose of finding such directions of development of agricultural enterprises that would simultaneously contribute to the improvement of financial and economic indicators of their activity, as well as ensure the sustainable development of both the enterprises themselves and the sustainable development of the surrounding rural areas. The article examines the positive value of the agricultural sector, in particular: production of products, creation of jobs, provision of foreign exchange revenues to the state budget, the possibility of providing services of unity with nature. However, it was noted that the agricultural industry has negative consequences of its activity, in particular: the deterioration of the quality of the soil, the increase in the level of plowing, the excessive use of chemical plant protection agents leads to an increase in the level of soil pollution, the death of representatives of the fauna, as well as an increase in the level of human illness. It is proposed to restore and develop the beekeeping industry in order to reorient the activities of the agrarian industry on the principles of sustainable development. Both existing agricultural enterprises and small peasant farms can be engaged in bee breeding. For agricultural enterprises, beekeeping is a direction of diversification that can bring additional income. For rural residents, beekeeping is a way to provide themselves with a workplace and to earn from the sale of beekeeping products and the provision of pollination services to agricultural enterprises, which will be able to sell their products as organic at higher prices. However, starting a beekeeping business requires significant investments, which are not at the disposal of small peasant farms. Therefore, they are suggested to join cooperatives. This will make it possible to carry out laboratory analysis, form large batches of honey and sell it at a higher price. The cooperative can also pack and process honey with possible independent export. In general, the development of the beekeeping industry will contribute to increasing the level of employment in rural areas and improving the ecological situation, which corresponds to the principles of sustainable development.

The statistics have examined the problems of forming strategic directions of agricultural development in the minds of the formation of “Agriculture 4.0” and its transformation in “Agriculture 5.0” It is stated that when formulating strategic directions for the development of agricultural enterprises, it is important to highlight the specifics of agricultural production, noting that supply chains in the agricultural state are the flow of products, knowing and information and the involved parties (producers and producers) at the skin stage of production processes, marketing and production. The emphasis is placed on the fact that when forming strategic directions, the development of agro-business is necessary to ensure the influx of agricultural production into the country and the development of rural territories. It is clear that in the agricultural economy of Ukraine there are problems arising from the emergence of differences in size, economic efficiency, innovative readiness and capabilities of economical entities tiv, which will require importance on the national level of strategic directions of agricultural development for the promotion of the current state and the “Agriculture 5.0”. The emphasis is placed on the lack of directness of “Agriculture 4.0” (“Industry 4.0”) in addressing environmental and social problems in the context of the implementation of the goals of the current development. Obviously, the particularities of the agricultural business in Ukraine have been brought to the attention of the need to implement a strategy for the development of farming states as the basis for food security and a rural-saving model of state rule. Meta-research – focusing on strategic directions in the development of farming dominions in the context of the security of minds and the formation of “Agriculture 5.0”. Based on the conducted survey, it was explained that the problem for small agricultural business entities is the lack of knowledge among management and government officials about the directions of innovative strategic development and the presence of a consistent level of digital maturity. The emphasis is placed on the fact that small agricultural enterprises do not have a long-term strategy, which is not suitable for long-term investments, and, consequently, the formation of innovative investment potential lu is problematic for them. It has been proven that promising strategic directions include the development of farmer states in combination with healthcare services, the formation and implementation of a digital strategy and the development of cooperation.

Developing a development strategy is a critical stage, especially in the conditions of constant changes in the external environment and in the context of the agricultural enterprise's own goals and policies. This was formed on the need to optimize activities, adapt to new conditions and achieve competitive advantages. The success of an agricultural enterprise largely depends on the ability to mobilize resources and internal skills. A key factor is also the ability of managers to choose a strategic course of development that corresponds to market conditions and their own needs. The purpose of the article is to analyze the international experience of strategic management of agricultural enterprises and to determine the most acceptable directions for the Ukrainian economy in the formation of a sustainable development strategy in the post-war period. In the current conditions of the economic crisis, the main goal for an agricultural enterprise is not only to avoid the termination of its activities, but also to create conditions for future profitable operation. The methodological basis of the research is the basic provisions of economic theory, scientific developments of domestic and foreign scientists on this topic. Developing and implementing a development strategy requires not only flexibility and adaptability to changes, but also a high level of leadership skills and the ability to manage risks to achieve strategic goals. The substantiation of the proposal for the formation of a strategy for the sustainable development of agricultural enterprises makes it possible to more precisely approach the choice of alternative management solutions, create a strategic set and ensure the necessary balance in the functioning of agricultural enterprises. This contributes to the stabilization of the production of agricultural products and the receipt of sufficient income, which will allow enterprises to effectively ensure the process of extended reproduction. The practical significance for the country's development lies in revitalizing the agro-industrial sector and the economy in general, by moving to a strategy of economic growth.

THE ROLE OF ECONOMIC SECURITY IN ENSURING COMPETITIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES

The subject of the research is the study of economic security as one of the factors of competitive economic development of agricultural enterprises. Methodology. The article uses general scientific methods, in particular, theoretical generalisation, methods of analysis and synthesis, statistical analysis, and graphical methods to visualise the results of the study. The aim is to analyse the role of economic security in ensuring competitive economic development of agricultural enterprises. Conclusion. A reliable system of economic security is a crucial condition for the effective functioning of any business entity in a market environment. Ukrainian agricultural enterprises face numerous problems, such as depreciation of resource potential, insufficient financial and information support, and low level of management qualifications, which limit their ability to ensure economic security on their own. Identification, avoidance and neutralisation of various threats that can destabilise the functioning of an enterprise and threaten its economic interests are becoming the main tasks for every business entity. The development of an effective system of economic security and the introduction of mechanisms and tools for its management require a systematic study of both theoretical and applied aspects of the management of economic security of agricultural enterprises. The place of economic security in the competitive economic development of agricultural enterprises is decisive for the creation of sustainable and prosperous activities in the conditions of market competition. It becomes a fundamental element of competitiveness, which is the ability of enterprises to operate and develop effectively in an uncertain market environment. The main aspects of the role of economic security in the competitive economic development of agricultural enterprises include protection from external and internal risks, reputation management, support for innovation and technological development, financial stability, participation in market competition and sustainability of production. These aspects are generalised into a single practical system of economic security, which is the basis for the competitive economic development of agricultural enterprises.

It is substantiated that the structure of the innovation-investment model of the development of agrarian formations includes separate blocks of innovation opportunities, primarily in the production and management spheres of economic entities, which are currently basic in determining their investment attractiveness and thus are decisive in the system of generation, implementation and realization in strategic management potential opportunities for ensuring the competitive development of agricultural enterprises. Keywords: potential, innovation potential, investment potential, innovation-investment potential, investment resources, innovation activity.

Innovative tools for risk management of the production activities of agricultural enterprises in an institutional environment

The security of agricultural sector development is increasingly becoming a relevant issue in modern conditions, as the agricultural sector determines the sustainability of the economy and ensures the country’s food security. Growing risks, such as climate change, economic difficulties and geopolitical conflicts, highlight the need to improve the security of agricultural production systems, which makes the study relevant. The study aimed to conduct a systematic analysis of innovative tools for managing the risks of production activities of agricultural enterprises and their impact on the formation of secure development in the agricultural sector of Ukraine. To achieve this goal, the method of analysis and modelling was used. Study results indicate that innovative approaches to risk management have a decisive impact on the sustainability and efficiency of agricultural production systems. To achieve a stable level of safe development of agricultural enterprises, it is necessary to focus on the implementation of key areas, such as maintaining the food base at a level sufficient to ensure a healthy diet, ensuring an adequate level of effective demand for the population and eliminating dependence on imports, aimed at protecting the interests of domestic producers of agricultural raw materials. The study demonstrated that institutional factors of risk management form an integrated system, where efficiency depends on the implementation of specific strategies for the development of agricultural institutions aimed at introducing innovative tools into the production cycle of agricultural enterprises. Furthermore, due to the accumulation of large amounts of production, financial, logistical and innovative potential of agricultural enterprises in the Forest-Steppe and Polissia regions, the level of safe development of agricultural enterprises is significantly increasing. This indicates their high capacity for sustainable reproduction of production and making a significant contribution to the agricultural sector of Ukraine. The study is of practical importance for agricultural enterprises, research institutions and government agencies, which can use the results to improve risk management strategies and increase the level of security of agricultural sector development

Сталий розвиток аграрних підприємств в Україні

The article is devoted to the study of the state and prospects of the implementation of the con-cept of sustainable development in the activities of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine. The article examines the concept of sustainable development and its components, in particular the Sustainable Development Goals and mechanisms of implementation of the concept of sustainable development in the activities of enterprises. The resource, economic, legal and social factors influencing the devel-opment of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine are determined. Recommendations have been devel-oped for the state and agricultural enterprises regarding actions to implement the concept of sus-tainable development in their activities and achieve the goals of sustainable development. The agri-cultural sector in Ukraine is relatively nascent, having commenced its comprehensive formation ap-proximately three decades ago. Presently, a majority of agricultural entities find themselves in a phase marked by the expansion of operations and the augmentation of capital assets. This circum-stance affords an opportunity wherein the entire industry may be structured in accordance with the tenets of sustainable development. Such an approach is poised not only to bolster the economic resil-ience of enterprises but also to ameliorate environmental conditions and enhance the overall welfare of the populace. Consequently, there arises a necessity to undertake an exhaustive examination aimed at discerning the contemporary status and distinctive features characterizing the evolution of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine. This examination should yield recommendations, particularly for governmental entities, delineating potential measures for the integration of sustainable devel-opment principles into the operational frameworks of agricultural enterprises. Today, most agricul-tural enterprises are at the stage of expansion of activities and development of capital assets. This creates conditions when the entire industry can be built on the principles of sustainable development, which will ensure not only the economic stability of enterprises, but also improve the state of ecology and the well-being of the population. In view of this, it becomes necessary to carry out a detailed study to determine the current state and characteristics of the development of agricultural enter-prises in Ukraine, to develop recommendations, in particular for the state, regarding potential steps for introducing the concept of sustainable development into the activities of agricultural enterprises.

Current state and priorities of sustainable development of agricultural enterprises

It has been proven that the peculiarity of agriculture is the close connection with the environment and the mutual influence between them, which led to the increased interest of scientists and practitioners in the implementation of the principles of sustainable development. It is argued that agriculture is the most vulnerable to climate change, as well as non-observance of scientific requirements in agricultural production can cause a negative impact on the environment. It has been determined that the largest share in the production of agricultural products is held by the corporate sector of the agrarian sphere, the development of which was studied on the basis of their resource provision and economic results of activity. It was concluded that in the current conditions, complex and even contradictory processes are taking place in the environment of agricultural enterprises, which are characterized by the following: significant changes in the number of economic entities and the area of agricultural land currently under cultivation; noticeable losses due to the war in the field of crop production, the strengthening of negative processes in the reduction of the number of agricultural animals in animal husbandry, etc. were revealed. It is calculated that agricultural enterprises in the conditions of martial law obtained a positive financial result, in particular, in 2022, they ensured the profitability of the operating room at the level of 20,3 % and of the entire activity – 13,6 %. Problems of a natural and ecological nature, caused by the manifestation of a number of negative factors in the development of agricultural production, have been identified. It is substantiated that the sustainability of the system manifests itself as a form of equilibrium of the socio-economic system, as a result of which, under the influence of external and internal changes, its properties of integrity are manifested, which allow to comprehensively form and rationally use resource potential, as well as to have the opportunity for expanded reproduction and minimize the negative impact on the environment. Sustainable agriculture involves achieving a balance of ecological, social and economic factors in agriculture in order to create opportunities to meet the needs of future generations. The existing practices of sustainable agricultural activity are summarized, namely: thrifty agriculture, best agricultural practices, organic agriculture, sustainable intensive agriculture, the model of «permanent agriculture» assumes harmony with natural processes, minimizes labor costs. Factors that affect the transition to new models of agricultural production based on sustainability are systematized, among which the following groups are distinguished: personal characteristics of the owner of the agricultural enterprise and his management, individual characteristics of the agricultural enterprise, behavioral characteristics of the owner and management of the enterprise, as well as external factors. Key words: sustainable agriculture, resource provision, agricultural enterprise, managers (owners), management, influencing factors.
