Agriculture State Support Programs and Their Results

One of the guarantees of building a competitive economy is a developed agriculture. Although among the indicators characterizing the level of economic development of the countries, the priority is given to the industry based on scientific and technical progress, nevertheless, agriculture has remained a vital sector of the national economy. It has a unique impact on the development of the entire economy and the living standards of the population, which is why most countries in the world pay great attention to the establishment of sustainable mechanisms of state support for the development of the agri-food sector. The purpose of the article is to study the state support programs implemented in the agri-food sphere of the Artsakh Republic and their results. The aim is to analyze the main indicators of the agricultural sector of the Republic of Artsakh over the last 5 years, to identify the dynamics of funds allocated to the sector from the state budget, the main directions of the Rural and Agricultural Support Fund of the Republic of Artsakh, the directions of the implemented programs in the pre-war and post-war period, to analyze the results of the programs on the development of the sector and to present proposals. Systematic analysis, comparison and statistical analysis methods were used during the research. Taking into account the problems arising in the field of agriculture due to the war, it is proposed to direct the policy of state support mainly to the intensive development of agriculture, the use of the latest technologies and scientific approaches to agricultural management.

CURRENT ISSUES OF DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE REPUBLIC OF ARTSAKH

The combination of small technological, productive and management flexibility allows small and medium enterprises to be sensitive to changing market conditions. Small and medium entrepreneurship has acquired a special role and importance for Artsakh in the current conditions of the post-war economic recovery which requires identifying the problems of ensuring the continuity and efficiency of business entities, developing and implementing new approaches and tools aimed at solving them. In general, a guaranteed way to ensure social solidarity, political stability and economic growth in different countries is the presence of developed small and medium enterprises. In the current conditions, it is urgent and modern to eliminate obstacles to the development of small and medium enterprises by continuously identifying and introducing more effective mechanisms of state support.

EFFICIENCY OF USING LAND RESOURCES IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN THE CONTEXT OF FINANCIAL INSTABILITY

The article examines the areas of state support for the agricultural sector of Ukraine. The peculiarities of the system of state support of agricultural enterprises and measures to improve the mechanism of state support of domestic agricultural enterprises are considered. It is established that the state support of agricultural producers is an indispensable condition for sustainable development of the agricultural sector of the economy and ensuring food security of the state. The essence of land resources of the agricultural sector of the economy in conditions of financial instability is considered. The dynamics and structure of land resources of agricultural enterprises are studied. The peculiarities of the agricultural sector are also highlighted. Factors influencing the financial support of agricultural enterprises, the main suppliers of borrowed sources of financial resources for agricultural enterprises, internal factors of enterprise efficiency are identified. Possible sources of formation of own capital of agricultural enterprises are proposed. as well as the most profitable sources of attracting financial resources.

Российский рынок инвестиционных товаров: реакция на замещение отечественной продукции импортом и место стран Северо-Восточной Азии

The author analyzes the specifics of demand for capital goods in Russia, concerning mechanical and electrical machinery, equipment, and vehicles for land transport, based on estimates of the elasticity of substitution between domestic and imported products. Russian economy depends on imports of capital goods from the EU, especially of mechanical and electrical machinery and equipment. For these many types of goods, domestic producers could not compete with imports due to the resource curse and increased investment risks of Russian economy, which determined the economic inefficiency of producing these products on a large scale. Despite the relatively small share of domestic machinery and equipment in the Russian market, imported components and technologies were widely used for their production in domestic enterprises with both Russian and foreign capital. At the same time, as the assessment of the elasticity of substitution shows, some capital goods of domestic production have competitive advantages. Due to high barriers to imports, the use of foreign technologies and parts, as well as the implementation of state support mechanisms, some types of land transport, agricultural and road equipment successfully competed with imports in the domestic market. The Northeast Asia countries did not account for a large share of imports in the Russian market of capital goods. Negative values of the elasticity of substitution indicated complementarity between domestic and imported goods, while, for machinery and equipment within these groups, the share of non-EU importers of components, in particular from China, is increasing, indicating the possible success of geographic diversification, but only for some types of goods. Ceteris paribus, China will not be able to make up for the reduction in imports from the EU to Russia for various types of machinery and equipment. Real competition in the Russian market of European manufacturers with imports from the Northeast Asia countries, mainly from China, can be observed within some product niches. At the same time, part of the import from China was produced for the Russian market by order of Russian companies at enterprises located in China, taking into account the technical standards of the EAEU and on the basis of technical documentation developed by specialists from Russia. Estimates of the elasticity of substitution showed that, despite the government’s measures to localize the production of passenger cars in the Russian territory, these goods in general were not direct competitors with imports, in which the EU and Japan were in the lead. Under the current sanctions for the Russian market of capital goods, the main negative factors may include the following: limited alternative supplies; the difficulty of industrial production in the face of increasing barriers to the import of components; when importing non-original parts, a possible increase in the risks of using investment goods.

Key problems of agro-industrial development in Kazakhstan and ways to solve them

To provide food to the population of Kazakhstan, it is necessary to develop agricultural production based on the introduction of innovative technologies and new knowledge. In order to implement the tasks set, it is necessary to solve the problems in this industry that hinder its development. The purpose of writing the article is to identify the problems of the development of the agro-industrial complex in Kazakhstan and to justify the ways to solve them. We present the actual problems of the development of the country's agro-industrial complex, which must be solved within the framework of the implementation of the National Project for the development of the Agro-industrial Complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2021–2025. The purpose of this project is to provide the country's population with essential foodstuffs, according to the established, scientifically based physiological consumption rate (SBPC). The key problems of the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan are low technical equipment of the branch with agricultural machinery and technology, inefficient use of natural resources, in particular land, water, the presence of a large number of small non-commodity farms, low level of processing of agricultural products, a lot of intermediaries between the production and sale of grown products, poor implementation of the results of scientific research and development of agricultural scientists, low level of storage, transportation and sale of agricultural products, etc. The article highlights such issues as the unattractiveness of this area for investment, low labor productivity, the need to develop state support mechanisms, the widespread introduction of innovative technologies, etc. The ways of solving the above-mentioned problems of the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan are substantiated and reasoned.

Development trends and mechanisms of State support for poultry farming at the regional level

Subject. The article investigates trends and prospects for poultry farming development at the regional level. Objectives. The purpose is to study the condition of poultry farming in the region, identify development trends, design mechanisms for government support for poultry farming. Methods. The study employs monographic, abstract-logical, statistical, and analytical methods. Results. In the Republic of Dagestan, the poultry production is concentrated in private farm households. This fact reduces the competitiveness of the sub-sector. The study establishes that there is a significant potential for increasing the production volumes of the industry. The bank capital practically does not participate in the modernization of poultry farming in the region, in part because of unfavorable credit history of most economic entities and insufficient collateral. Against the background of low rates of attracting private investment, there is an urgent need for State support for the industry. Conclusions. We propose a set of reasonable measures to stimulate State support for poultry farming in the region, including through improving the forms and methods of scientific and innovative support, linking the forms of the support with the achievement of established development indicators. The paper determines the need for introducing State support to stimulate the industry’s transfer of industrial basis.

Економічна сутність державного регулювання виробництва продукції сільського господарства

Abstract. Introduction. The article considers the theoretical foundations of the economic essence of state regulation of agricultural production through the direction of the country's agricultural policy for the development of competitive agroindustrial production and the mechanism of state support. Problematic issues concerning the distribution of budget funds to support agricultural production have been identified. The vision of scientists on the economic essence of state regulation and state support is highlighted and generalized. Purpose. The main purpose of the study is the economic essence of state regulation of agricultural production, identification of priority areas for improving the mechanism of state regulation and development of conclusions. Results. The essence and directions of stabilization of agricultural production and increase of efficiency of functioning of the agrarian market in foreign countries considering questions of export and import of agricultural raw materials are resulted. With regard to domestic producers, attention was drawn to the need to take into account the practice of state audit research and the development of science in developing targeted budget programs to support agricultural production, as well as to anticipate the consequences of their implementation and effectiveness. It was also noted that agriculture is one of the most important sectors for Ukraine. Due to its fertile soils, Ukraine is called the "breadbasket of Europe". Today, the system of state regulation, including public finance management, does not fully meet the requirements of the time. Therefore, the formation of a competitive national economy involves a systemic reform of public finance management. At the same time, Ukraine's agricultural policy is to guarantee the country's food security and identify priority development of agro-industrial production. Conclusions were drawn on the effectiveness of support for agricultural production through the objective allocation of budget funds for such purposes, including research in the field of agricultural production taking into account global challenges to food security and climate change. In general, the constituent elements of the economic mechanism of state regulation should create optimal conditions for the development of the agricultural sector as the main one in the economic complex.

The current state and future outlook for development of sheep breeding in Ukraine

Our research aimed to analyse the current state of the sheep industry in Ukraine, to highlight the geographical location of genetic resources, to describe the state of the breeding work, and to form the proposals for the development of this branch in the future. The date from the State register of breeding farms for 2005-2019 and statistical reporting were used for analysis. It is shown that Ukraine has good natural and climatic preconditions, as well as customer demands for the development of the sheep industry. In addition to the domestic market, it is necessary to look for opportunities to enter foreign markets. Over the last 15 years, the sheep industry in Ukraine has undergone significant changes: the form of ownership has changed, the number of livestock has decreased and the breed composition of sheep has changed. At present time, there are 0.7 million sheep in Ukraine, 26.7 thousand are registered like breeding animals belonging to 10 breeds. Breeding work in the sheep industry in Ukraine does not meet modern requirements: the total number of breeding stock of 26.7 thousand is insufficient for production needs. The number of farms engaged in sheep breeding has critically decreased. The situation is critical for such breeds as the Latvian dark-headed, Ukrainian mountain Carpathian and Sokilska. There is no organized breeding workin Ukraine regarding many popular breeds of sheep, which are popular among producers and are already available in the country. Ukrainian mountain Carpathian and Sokilska breeds belong to local breeds, but due to the lack of organized selection work they may be lost. The largest number of sheep is concentrated in the south and west of the country, where the climatic conditions are favourable for this branch in the past. The leaders in terms of numbers are Odesa and Transcarpathia, Chernivtsi and Zaporizhia regions. Breeding pedigree animals are concentrated in Odesa and Kherson oblasts. The most numerous breeds are the Askanian meat-wool breed with crossbred wool and the Askanian Karakul breed. Taking into consideration the big potential of the sheep breeding, it is proposed to perform some steps to stimulate its development in Ukraine. To improve the sheep industry in Ukraine it is necessary to implement a set of measures, in particular: to extend the system of state support to the sheep industry; to promote the construction of slaughterhouses, including the use of the slaughter system HALAL; to assist in finding new markets for fattened animals or meat in abroad, especially in countries with Muslim population; to use state support mechanisms to facilitate breeding work; to allow to keep registers of breeding animals by producer associations and other interested organizations; to simplify the procedure for registration of production facilities for the production of local cheeses and other products; to impose a duty on the export of adult animals not for breeding purposes. The implementation of these measures will promote the development of sheep breeding in Ukraine and will serve as a basis for the production of a sufficient amount of high-quality food products and the preservation of traditional food preferences of different regions of the country. Key words: sheep breeding, breed, local breed type.

MEDICAL TOURISM NEW DIRECTIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES: MACROECONOMIC AND REGIONAL ASPECTS

Introduction. Medical tourism involves obtaining medical services on an affordable basis outside the country of residence of the potential consumer of such services with maximum efficiency. For Ukraine, medical tourism has not been institutionalized, this area of health care is insufficiently monitored at the macroeconomic level, there are no state programs to support the development of medical tourism, no system of accounting for revenues from foreign consumers of medical tourism services, while the latter low prices and fairly high quality. Moreover, the prospects of medical tourism for Ukraine can best be realized in the regions of Ukraine. Goal. substantiation of prospects for the development of medical tourism as a priority area for public policy in the field of health care. Research methods. Methods of comparative, systematic, structural analysis, and generalization are used. Results. Scientific, organizational, and legal bases of medical tourism development as a tool of competitive positioning of the domestic health care system in the global environment are substantiated. The traditional and newest components of medical tourism are identified and analyzed: diagnostics, treatment, rehabilitation, and rehabilitation. Prospects for the development of the domestic system of medical tourism based on regional recreational potential, international standards of quality of medical services, institutional framework, based program mechanisms of state support for individual actors in the medical tourism market, and regional clusters working in this sphere. The domestic and international potential of medical tourism is analyzed, and the advantages and prospects in the formation and development of medical tourism at the regional level are substantiated under the conditions of appropriate legal support and program support. The conditions for obtaining international quality certificates by medical tourism entities as a prerequisite for their competitive positioning in the international market of medical services are substantiated. The main provisions of the scientific article will contribute to the formation of an organizational, legal, marketing, and logistical basis for the development of an inclusive-oriented, competitive model of the market of medical tourism services.

The budget financing for farms in Ukraine

The purpose of the article is to assess the current realities and areas of state support for farms, substantiation of recommendations for the formation of an effective system of budget funding for support programs in the future. Methods. General scientific and special scientific methods were used in the research process. Interpretation of basic categories and concepts is based on using methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, theoretical generalization. Results. For many countries agriculture is the most important industry in terms of contribution to GDP and employment, i.e. for both economic development and reduction of poverty. Farms are an important component of the agricultural sector of Ukraine’s economy. They ensure the efficient use of agricultural resources, as the economic interest of the producers themselves, who are mainly the owners of the resources or use some of them on lease, is fully realized. The farm incomes are based on the sale of crop production and livestock products, products of its processing and other industrial products of own products and the provision of different services. Practical contribution. During 2014–2019, the structure of budget programs of the state budget changed annually. At the same time, the central executive bodies were responsible for implementing programs aimed at financing agriculture, fisheries, forestry and hunting. Thus, the structure of the main spending units of the state budget changed. In this context it is important to take specific measures intended for the improvement of production profile considering a market dynamic; to make changes in manufacturing processes; to use more efficient material resources that ensure the reduction of their costs in terms of value per unit of output; to improve management in production operation of an enterprise; to encourage employees to achieve higher production results. Prospects for further research. How are the proposed measures supported by the state? Why is it important to implement them? Which possibilities are for this? The response to these issues requires a reasonable agrarian policy and a creation of effective mechanisms of state support. In consideration of a significant number of methods and approaches to justify agrarian public financing this aspect is quite relevant and important.

Can the Current State Support Mechanisms Help the Growth of Renewable Energies in Wind Markets?

The aim of this paper is to provide evidence on the effectiveness of the current state support mechanism incentive adopted by the Italian government in the wind market. In particular, this paper intends to investigate the effectiveness of the auction mechanism as an incentive tool for renewable sources as required by the transposition of Directive 2009/28/EC. In order to demonstrate the economic and financial feasibility of a typical wind-sector investment, we performed a scenario analysis (Monte Carlo simulation) determining a 52,500 Net Present Value (NPV) by varying the key underlying variables of the investment. The results show that with the mechanism currently in place the percentage of positive leveraged NPV is approximately equal to 70%. Despite the state contribution provided through the “Feed-in tariff” mechanism, the profitability of wind projects is not always successful, and this problem could be amplified by the slowness of the authorization procedures. The article offers prime reflections for scholars and policy makers who have long been committed to promoting sustainable development and important considerations on the introduction of further incentive models.

The practice of digital transformation risk assessment of business entities in the Russian Federation

Subject. The article discusses main practical approaches to assessing the risks of digital transformation and proposes an integrated model of risk-based approach to digital transformation that rests on key performance indicators for digital transformation risk assessment. Objectives. The aim is to perform a critical analysis of the practice of assessing the risks of digital transformation of economic entities in the Russian Federation. Methods. To perform the comparative analysis of practices of assessing the risks of digital transformation, we apply methods of analysis, comparison, and systematization of the obtained information. Results. We analyzed the practice of assessing the risks of digital transformation of business entities, developed recommendations to improve models for assessing the digital transformation risks, and offered an integrated risk assessment model. Conclusions. Given the specifics of the approach of Russian business entities to assessing the risks of digital transformation and a clear trend towards boosting the digitalization, it is advisable to apply a combined model, which includes both the assessment of the impact of digitalization measures on the economic performance of a company and qualitative risk assessment models based on the introduction of a risk-based Agile approach, embedded in the corporate culture of the company, as well as Due Diligence methods; to implement a mechanism of State support for companies, which are in the process of digital transformation.

Digital model for determining the optimal resource potential in the creation and development of agricultural organizations

The relevance of the study lies in the fact that at present, measures for the creation and functioning of agricultural organizations are not carried out effectively enough. The article examines the process of functioning of the mechanism of state support for agricultural producers and its effectiveness, analyzes the existing target indicators of the state program for the development of agriculture. The need for their clarification and addition is revealed for the development of an optimal digital model that allows determining the zonal need and resource potential for the creation and development of agricultural organizations and other forms of management. The peculiarity of the proposed model is to determine the optimal resource potential and reduce the risk of irrational use of targeted funding. The paper also suggests the development of an earlier non-existing digital model that allows describing and determining the resource potential of the creation of an agricultural organization.

State regulation in the field of energy conservation and energy efficiency

The article examines the regulatory aspects of energy conservation and energy efficiency, specific terminological tools and technological procedures. The authors provide a critical review of the policy in Russian Federation in the field of energy conservation and energy efficiency in goods realization; construction and operation of buildings, enterprises, facilities; and energy audits. The quality comparison analysis of state regulation in the field of energy conservation and energy efficiency in Russian Federation and Sweden is carried out. Based on comparison analysis, it has been established that Russian Federation has not achieved such progress as the EU countries. The idea is substantiated that an extensive internal energy supply, cold climate, and inefficient technologies lead to high energy intensity remaining inherent in every Russian economy sector. It is reflected that main problems are the lack of a unified methodology for conducting energy audits, the provision of qualified personnel, the construction of a model for regulating activities in the field of energy conservation and energy efficiency. It is concluded that mechanisms of state support for energy conservation and energy efficiency improvement, organizational and information support for implementation of goals and objectives of this program should include/add: provision of state debt to enterprises for projects implementation; creation a complete and understandable state information system (monitoring the situation); methodological and regulatory support for energy saving and energy efficiency improvement; investment, co-financing of the best regional projects (provision of subsidies); training and advanced training of persons responsible for the growth of energy efficiency (executive power, budgetary and commercial organizations, population); motivating the formation of a lean and economic model of citizens’ behavior.

Экономическая безопасность нефтяного сектора: механизмы партнерского управления и мониторинга

The transformation of the oil and gas industry is caused by the emerging global situation and threats to the economic security of the agents caused by negative factors. The purpose of the article is to show the need to address the negative impact of external and internal factors on the oil and gas sector, which will give a clear understanding of the effectiveness of state support mechanisms for companies in this area. The authors’ research was carried out on the basis of indicative and normative analysis, program-targeted and expert methods, which made it possible to assess the security level of one of the agents. The methods used present the systemic ideology of studying the economic security of one of the key sectors in the economy, based on identification and assessments. The main results of research are as follows: theoretical approaches to the study of economic security of the agents are determined; of the studied issues are presented; methodological algorithm for identification of threats and assessment of their level is suggested and tested; key factors of negative impact, including those manifested in the pandemic conditions, are highlighted. The scientific results of the conducted research demonstrate a low level of economic security of the oil industry agents and the loss of protection from various kinds of threats. The assumption that the level of economic security of the agent reflects the efficiency of its functioning is reliable, and the peculiarities of factor influence determine the nature of possible threats. The main conclusions of the authors prove the need in the state support for companies in the oil industry and the formation of an effective system for ensuring the economic security of its activities, taking the existing partner practice and preventive security measures into account. An effective security system allows you to successfully monitor and make correct decisions under conditions of economic uncertainty.

LABOR PRODUCTIVITY IN AGRICULTURE

The essence of labor productivity is substantiated in the article. It is determined that it is the production of a certain amount of products (or work performed of the established quality) per unit of working time. Labor productivity is one of the main indicators that determines the development of the industry, enterprise. The analysis of agricultural products showed that in general there is a positive trend, in particular crop production. Livestock production is characterized by a decrease. Enterprises produce the most agricultural products - 66% (11.6% of farms), respectively households – 34%. Analysis of the dynamics of labor productivity per employee in agriculture of Ukraine showed positive results. The growth rate in the industry over the past 5 years is 48.81%, including in crop production - 44.61%, in animal husbandry - 61.78%. However, the achieved level does not meet modern requirements. Factors of labor productivity growth are singled out: organizational-economic, technical-economic, socio-economic, natural-climatic. Correlation-regression analysis was used to study the influence of individual factors on labor productivity. It is established that the following have the greatest direct impact: the average engine power of the tractor, the cost of fixed assets, the average monthly salary. The following have the opposite effect: population, number of employees in the agriculture. A positive financial result in agriculture does not increase labor productivity. Investments, wage growth in the agricultural sector, predictability of state regulatory policy, improved land relations, mechanisms of state support for farmers and improving the efficiency of public administration will help increase labor productivity in agriculture. Keywords: labor productivity, agriculture, wages, production volume, investments.

THE MECHANISM OF STATE SUPPORT FOR SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT: SYNERGISTIC ASPECTS

The purpose of this research is the development of theoretical foundations for the functioning of the mechanism of state support for small business in a decentralized government based on a synergistic approach. The subject of the study: theoretical and methodological foundations for the functioning of the mechanism of state support of small business in the context of synergetics. Research methodology is a set of principles, approaches, general theoretical, special, and interdisciplinary methods of scientific knowledge, namely morphological analysis, comparative analysis, methods of deduction and logical generalization, analysis and synthesis. Functioning of the mechanism of state support for small business is considered on the basis of a synergistic approach. The synergistic approach is one of the most effective methodological bases for the development of modern economics. The article considers the key theoretical provisions for understanding this approach, substantiates the possibility and feasibility of its application in the implementation of this mechanism in modern economic conditions. Results. It is determined that the reform of decentralization of power has led to the creation of institutional problems in the economic mechanism of state support for small business. In the regions and territorial communities, there is no single mechanism to support the development of small business, which causes the inefficiency of this area of public policy. This justifies the relevance of the use of new methodological approaches to the formation of the mechanisms for implementing the state policy of business regulation. The importance of small business for the development of the national economy, ensuring its stability, is substantiated, the main approaches to the essence of entrepreneurship are investigated. Theoretical aspects of the functioning of the mechanism of state support for small business on the basis of traditional and systemic approaches are systematized, their positive aspects and shortcomings are determined. It is substantiated that in the conditions of economic transformations and introduction of the reform of decentralization of power it is expedient to use the synergistic approach in the research of the mechanism of the state support of the small business. It is emphasized that the very synergistic approach is able to study the process of functioning of the mechanism of state support for small business on the basis of evolutionary development and self-organization of complex systems. We propose to consider the mechanism of state support in the conditions of decentralization as a process of self-organization of small business entities and public authorities, which is carried out through their interaction with the meso- and macroenvironment. Conceptual bases of the use of the synergistic approach in the research of the mechanism of the state support for the development of entrepreneurship and its economic levers are developed. It is substantiated that the application of a synergistic approach in the process of formation and application of the mechanism of state support of small business will allow to take into account interdependence of economic processes and phenomena, to investigate the interaction of local authorities and small businesses under decentralization. The use of a synergistic approach as a research method also makes it possible to take into account the dynamics of the state support mechanism. The synergistic methodology in the study of the mechanism of state support for small business allows to take into account the existence of connections and interactions between the components of the mechanism, as well as the integrity and ability to change. Based on a synergistic approach, it becomes possible to ensure the development of small businesses by preventing threats. The next advantage is the ability to take into account the alternative scenarios of small business development of a particular region or territory in a changing socio-economic environment. Consideration of the mechanism of state support as a self-organized system makes it possible to study the patterns of self-organization, which in the future should become the basis for calculating the synergistic effect of the mechanism.
