Models for optimising the volume of material flows in the technological chain of corporate vertically integrated structures of the agricultural sector

The relevance of this study lies in the need to optimise supply cycles and volumes in value chains, which helps to reduce costs and increase the profitability of agricultural enterprises. The purpose of this study was to investigate and optimise the costs of initial material flows in the production subsystems of corporate vertically integrated structures of the agricultural complex under conditions of non-stationary demand. To fulfil this purpose, the study investigated the relationship between the amount of raw material stock stored in the production subsystem and the time of its consumption, based on which an extended model of the economic order quantity (EOQ) was considered, which, apart from the defined costs, also considers the costs of raw material shortages associated with the inability to fulfil deliveries and losses associated with supply failures caused by the unpredictability (stochasticity) of the order flow itself. It was found that in continuous production systems there is an opportunity to reduce the costs associated with failures by using an additional regular supply batch. For this, the mathematical “point-of-order” model was built based on the theory of mass service, which allows determining not only the best point to order, but also the optimal amount of the safety stock. A model for optimising the volume of material flows was proposed, which combines the model of the economic order quantity order adapted for use in product subsystems of corporate integrated structures of the agricultural complex and the “point-of-order” model, which allows calculating the minimum size of the insurance stock of raw materials using the tools of operations research. As an example, the material flow was optimised for Kivshovata Agro LLC. The findings of the study, such as the use of analytical tools and models for determining the economic order quantity and safety stock, can be used by the management of agricultural enterprises to improve the efficiency of material flow management

Non-Traditional Methods for Assessing the Financial Situation of a Farm

The main objective of assessing a company’s financial state is predicting its future development. In agriculture, failure factors differ from other industries, including high debt and interest rates, lower profitability during recessions, and environmental impacts like droughts and floods. To ensure market survival, modern management of agricultural enterprises is crucial. Business analysis generates data for this. A financially healthy enterprise is profitable, efficiently uses capital, and repays obligations on time. Various methods measure financial performance, chosen based on time frame, purpose, data nature, and sources. Complex measurements should be balanced. Financial issues arise from internal and external factors, often due to environmental changes. In agriculture, understanding success factors is vital for long-term survival as food demand increases. Failure factors are diverse, spanning economic (profitability, liquidity) and non-economic (planning, decision-making). Mismanagement and external factors can lead to farm failure. In this changing environment, success requires future-focused financial development, making retrospective analysis insufficient. Predictive models tailored to each country's specifics are essential for agricultural sustainability. This study explores such models and their relevance for agricultural financial sustainability.

Effective management of Ukrainian agribusiness under conditions of military aggression can contribute to the stability of revenues to the country's budget and strengthen national security, particularly in providing the population with food and jobs in depressed rural regions. The state of war in Ukraine determines the peculiarities of the activities of agricultural enterprises and, accordingly, forms the peculiarities of agricultural management, which requires scientific research.
 Aim and tasks. The study aims to develop directions and tools for managing agricultural enterprises in the conditions of war in Ukraine. The task of the study was to develop a mathematical model of operational change in the goal of an agro-enterprise, establish conditions for changing agribusiness goals, determine wartime requirements for agribusiness management, and assess the impact of the war on the components of the resource potential of agricultural enterprises.
 Results. A mathematical model of the operative change in the purpose of an agro-enterprise under the conditions of acquisition of integral risks, including the risk of military operations, of a degree greater than 50%, has been developed. The study of the components of the resource potential established the following: the growth of the dynamism of the land market, the acceleration of the redistribution of land ownership - the alienated area of land in 2023 compared to 2022 has almost doubled; the share of individual entrepreneurs in the total number increased by 19.8% in 2022; a decrease in the level of provision of labour resources, which has long-term and short-term dimensions related to military operations, reducing the volume of imports of agricultural machinery by approximately 30–35%. The implementation of effective management requires a comprehensive approach to the formation of systemic prerequisites for agricultural activity and the improvement of the structure of agricultural production, taking into account the impact of the war in Ukraine.
 Conclusions. The developed mathematical model makes it possible to change the goals of agricultural enterprises in an operational manner and form an appropriate level of competitiveness to ensure the viability of agricultural enterprises. The proposed directions and management tools of agricultural enterprises will ensure an increase in the efficiency of agribusiness management during wartime conditions. Evaluation of the impact of the war on the components of the resource potential of agricultural enterprises will increase the efficiency of resource use.
