It has been proven that a model of the development of the meat product sub-complex is currently being implemented in Ukraine, which is based on vertically integrated industrial complexes with a full production cycle from feed mills to deep meat processing. Vertical integration is characteristic mainly for enterprises of poultry breeding, pig breeding and processing of their products, since in these industries there is a high level of concentration and mechanization, which contributes to the achievement of efficiency due to the scale of production in large business. It has been established that vertical integration of production makes it possible to ensure the raw material base of meat processing in the required volume and guaranteed quality; reduce transaction costs; minimize logistics costs through cluster development of the full production cycle in a certain territory; to optimize the tax burden due to the exclusion of taxes on intermediate products and the relocation of production to the territory with more favorable tax conditions; reduce business risks by distributing them to different market segments and controlling the entire production and sales chain; due to the provision of full control over the quality of raw materials and their complex processing, to expand the range, to respond to the changing demands of consumers, to increase the competitiveness of products, to reduce the cost price; improve information security of activities; to solve environmental problems with the help of waste-free technologies. Distribution relations in integrated formations of the meat product sub-complex can be built according to two models: price, which in practice can be applied in two variants: according to current market prices, or – according to estimated domestic prices; normative-distributive, which differs from the price model in that calculations are made not according to the intermediate, but according to the final result. We believe that now it is necessary to solve the problem of a balanced combination of a combination of large agro-industrial formations, medium-sized agricultural enterprises and personal peasant farms in the sub-complex, which allows to ensure the realization of the advantages of each form of management, economic growth in the industry and sustainable development of rural areas. The results of the conducted research provide grounds for determining the following areas of effective development of integration processes in the meat product subcomplex, on which it is proposed to focus the efforts of the state, business, industry associations and the scientific community: ensuring the effective entry of integrated structures into the global agro-food market; creation of a legal framework for property and distribution relations between participants of integrated structures, including the adoption of the Law of Ukraine on holding; development of scientific and methodological support in the field of organizational and economic mechanism of activity of integrated formations, taking into account the interests of all participants; concentration of investment activity of integrated formations on modernization of production and sales, development of breeding and genetic and fodder base.

Functioning of integrated entities in grain product subcomplex

Stabilization of grain production and increase in its efficiency is achieved by improving the structure of grain product sub-complex based on coordinated policy, the implementation of common interests between grain producers, processing industry enterprises and marketing system. The goal is to show the role of integration processes in grain farming and the prospects for their further development. Methods - comparative and system analysis, statistical and economic, logical generalization. Results - it is noted that in grain business entities, in order to optimize their activities, it is advisable to create integrated entities that have functional and technological integrity. The article examines the current trends in the functioning of industries and subsectors that provide production, transportation, storage, processing of grain, representing a set of economically interconnected objects. The authors focus on the importance of integration, which allows agricultural enterprises to achieve and maintain certain positions on market by solving the following tasks: creating common resources (technological, financial, marketing), corporate governance, promoting and supporting goods in order to maximize savings and increase profitability, minimize risks by obtaining guaranteed access to target markets. Domestic practice testifies to the clear advantages of uniting agricultural producers. Conclusions - organization of integrated systems makes the economy more manageable, allows to concentrate resources on priority areas and provide effective interaction between the State and agroindustrial complex. Stable working agricultural entities are more attractive for potential investors, they contributing to the introduction of new intensive technologies that ensure waste-free processing of agricultural raw materials. To solve the existing problems, it is necessary to improve the regulatory framework, the pricing system and the financial and lending mechanism, and government support.

Grain and processed grain products market: topical issues and ways of their solution

The goal is to assess the current state of the market for grain and its processed products, to determine the features of its functioning and prospects for further development. Methods - economic, statistical and analytical, which made it possible to identify main trends taking place in grain products subcomplex of the country, draw up a balance of resources, as well as the use of grain and grain products. Results - in the process of studying this problem, it was indicated that as a result of reduction in the own products volume, the resource part of the balance of grain and its use for the analyzed period decreased. It was determined that grain market in Kazakhstan is exportoriented. The analysis indicates a high level of self-sufficiency in grain crops and products of their processing in the republic. It has been determined that grain industry fully meets the needs of the domestic market, thereby contributing to the increase in the level of food security of the country. The negative tendency of reducing production volume and export of flour has been clarified. The presence and relevant use of grain processing facilities are analyzed. The authors note a significant excess of the potential possible processing volume over the actual indicators. Information on the export of flour in the context of exporting countries is presented. The assessment of the export potential of grain market has been carried out. The emphasis is made on the fact that Kazakhstan has a significant reserve of grain and flour exports. Conclusions - measures of State regulation of problems in logistics system, transportation of raw materials and flour, as well as directions of effective support for the development of milling industry, market infrastructure are proposed, including based on the principles of public-private partnership.

Development of public-private partnership mechanisms in the grain product sub-complex

In the context of the active entry of Kazakhstan into the world economy, the growing shortage and decline in the quality of raw materials and the related rise in prices for grain and bakery products, the grain-product subcomplex of the domestic agro-industrial complex is of particular importance. The article notes that the development of production in various sectors and spheres of the economy of Kazakhstan requires the search and use of new, more efficient forms of implementation of production and economic activities. One of the key methods of solving this problem is the integration of commodity producers, which makes it possible to unite in a single complex all the links of the reproduction cycle in the technological chain “production of raw materials - output of finished products”. It is emphasized that domestic and foreign experience has proved that integrated education, formed on the basis of the principles of public-private partnership, achieves a high level of efficiency and competitiveness. For the successful implementation of public-private partnership projects in the grain product sub-complex, an in-depth study, generalization and systematization of the experience of using this mechanism by both national and foreign companies that have achieved high results in this area is required. Currently, public-private partnership continues to remain at the initial stage of development, which is largely due to the specific high-risk features of the functioning of the branches of the grain product sub-complex. These circumstances emphasize the importance of a detailed analysis of methods and tools for increasing the competitiveness of enterprises and organizations of the domestic grain products subcomplex, first of all, targeted investment in the development of production.

Revival of the resource potential of cattle breeding as a factor in the development of competitiveness of enterprises of the dairy product subcomplex of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine

Permanent crises in the Ukrainian economy, the devaluation of the hryvnia, the decline in incomes of the population and its purchasing power, increased competition on the world market, and the constant increase in world prices for food and non-food products created new realities of functioning of enterprises of the dairy sub-complex of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine and led to its transformation. Therefore, the study of the reasons for the existence of these trends is very relevant. The purpose of the study is to assess the current state of the sub-complex and the development of practical recommendations for improving the efficiency of its functioning. The performed study was based on the use of methods: qualitative analysis and synthesis, economicstatistical analysis, comparisons, analytical and logical generalisations, etc. At the beginning of 2021, the total number of cattle in Ukraine was 2.874 million heads and over the past 10 years decreased by 1.952 million heads, including cows by 0.958 million heads. Milk production remains small-scale. In 2020, 9.263 million tonnes of milk were produced (17.66% less than in 2010). A substantial reduction in the volume of milk supplies for processing led to a reduction in the number of processing enterprises in 2020 by 69.14% compared to 1990. The main factors of transformation of the dairy sub-complex in Ukraine include: reduction of the number of cows, insufficient quantity of high-quality dairy raw product and their non-compliance with the regulations and standards of the European Union, low technological level of milk production, insufficient control over the quality of raw product, lack of modern equipment, high capital and labour intensity of production processes, rising prices for energy and other resources, reduced consumption of dairy products due to low purchasing power, increased competition in the world and internal markets of dairy products, etc. The conducted research should help to solve and highlight the main functional problems of milk processing enterprises that operate in the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine, the results of the above-mentioned studies can be useful and relevant for the revival of dairy cattle breeding in the post-war period

Integration processes – the component of the effective implementation of public-private partnerships

The aim is to justify proposals for improving public-private partnership for the development of grain product sub-complex. The implementation of effective forms of production and economic activity requires an increase in the volume of products in various sectors of economy of Kazakhstan. Research methods contribute to the integration of commodity producers, combining the links of reproduction cycle in technological chain into a single complex from the availability of raw materials to production of finished goods. Results – it was noted that integrated entities, formed on the basis of the principles of public-private partnership, achieve a high level of efficiency and competitiveness. It is shown that in modern economic conditions, the functioning mechanism of PPP in sectors of agriculture, industry, providing production, transportation, storage and processing of grain in the republic, does not allow to fully systematically carry out largescale innovation processes. The in-depth systematization and analysis of the experience of using the mechanism of public-private partnership in grain complex, both by domestic and foreign producers who have achieved high results in this area, are required for the successful implementation of such projects, since grain industry has its own specific features. Conclusions – during the functioning of economic entities at the stage of grain processing, inter-industry relations in technological interaction are improved from product output to sale with distribution of value added. At the same time, an important direction of economic policy for activating the innovative vector of development, creating a competitive business is to ensure an equivalent intersectoral exchange, the formation of a pricing policy. The public-private partnership model greatly contributes to the achievement of the strategic goals of the regions, creating positive trends in the economic development of the territories.

Grain farming is the basis for functioning of grain product sub-complex

Purpose – complex multifunctional and dynamic system, which includes a wide range of national economic functions, which is represented by grain farming, and requires priority attention to its development from the state has been analyzed. It is noted that the stability of grain trade, functioning of national and general grain markets depend on the quantity, quality, species range and price level of grain produced, demand, government influence on its production and sale, situation on the world grain market and other factors of an internal and external nature. The research methods are reflected in the improvement of territorial division of labor in the process of grain production and development of grain trade between countries, taking into account the scientific approach to the development and implementation of projects and programs of an interstate association, which should be comprehensive and take into account the positive aspects and barriers in expanding the single grain market. Results – it was revealed that innovative activity, promising innovations for the systems of breeding and seed production of grain crops, development of mechanization, land reclamation, chemical processing, expansion and strengthening of transport routes, information support, management in the fields of grain production and market relations allow the formation of specialized grain zones. Conclusions – in Kazakhstan, it is necessary to create a domestic accounting system in accordance with interstate agreements, according to which, in 2022, a mechanism for the identification and traceability of grain should function in the EAEU. It will require its development, similar to dairy products, which will significantly increase the cost of using these technologies.

Increase in exports of grain processing products

The implementation of strategic goals of the development of agro-industrial complex can be achieved due to the significant potential for growth in production volume of flour-cereals industry, competitive advantages. The article discusses the raw material reserves of domestic flour-cereal industry, sufficient for sustainable and balanced production of various types and varieties of flour, to fully meet the needs of the bakery, confectionery and pasta industries. Production indicators of flour output when all production capacities are loaded are presented, which determines the possibility of expanding export markets. The author states that flour and cereal industry, which is part of grain products subcomplex of agro-industrial complex, is included into the links of the added value chain, interacts with technologically related industries, which improve its structure, expand export opportunities, and contribute to the growth of the competitiveness of national economy. The importance of production of flour-milling products is determined by its contribution to the formation of food security in the country due to the significant increase in production of high-quality domestic food products. The author points out, that in Kazakhstan, the Roadmap on development of grain processing will be developed. The activities of the subsidiary LLP BioOperations (Tayinsha town, North Kazakhstan region) are aimed at production of bioethanol, wheat gluten, starch, flour and animal feed. The main direction of functioning of LLP "Aruana- 2010" is production of flour (wheat, bakery), providing it to trade enterprises and manufacture of bakery products. Flour of the "PATSHA" trademark is made from high quality grain, with high protein content, grown in ecologically clean fields of Kazakhstan.

STUDY OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF MEAT PRODUCT SUBCOMPLEX AND MEAT MARKET IN UKRAINE

The importance of the meat product subcomplex in the production of agricultural products is substantiated, which allowed to identify and assess the importance of meat products in domestic markets in the face of growing needs of the population. The need for state support for agricultural production, in particular the development of animal husbandry as a major factor in the existence of meat production. The annual balance of beef, pork, chicken and other animals over the past five years was analyzed, which showed a trend of declining beef and pork production, but increased chicken production. A similar trend is observed for meat consumption per capita – only the production of chicken meat has been growing steadily over the past five years. It is proposed to focus on the organization of such a production and technological chain, which would allow the most efficient use of raw materials, carry out deep processing, expand the range and improve the quality of manufactured products to ensure food security. Opportunities have been identified in the production of poultry meat, which is sold on the domestic market at prices higher than the world, to increase its competitiveness not by increasing state support, but by reducing the cost and improving the quality of meat products. The necessity of capital investment in the development of agricultural enterprises as a basis for the formation of effective activities for the production of meat products, taking into account the social significance for the population of the state.

Financial aspects in the system of economic interaction of grain product subcomplex organizations

The characteristic of the achieved results in grain production of the Orel region during the period of implementation of the project approach of agribusiness management is given. The fi nancial condition of the model organizations of the grain product subcomplex of the region was evaluated.

Directions and prospects for expanding the export of russian wheat

The grain economy of Russia has now reached a new high level of development, providing ample opportunities for the expansion of Russian grain to the world market. The research reveals the following main threats to further strengthening the position of Russian wheat in the world market: instability of yields and inappropriate production and logistics infrastructure, which determines overestimated transaction costs and low flexibility of supply. The article analyzes the structure of importers of Russian wheat to characterize the instability of the world wheat market and high competition on it. The aim of the research is to form key directions for ensuring the sustainability and efficiency of wheat exports. The development of the grain product subcomplex of the Russian agro-industrial complex is presented by the authors from the position of priority in ensuring the food security of the population by fully meeting the needs of the domestic market, while exports are assigned the role of an instrument for regulating the grain market. Increasing wheat exports is not a priority for the development of grain farming; however, under the current conditions, this is the main incentive for increasing grain production and a way of obtaining foreign exchange income for agrarians. In this regard, it seems necessary to increase the regulatory role of the state in managing the country's grain balance and intensify investment processes in the industry through improving the country's fiscal and monetary policy in relation to the agricultural sector.

In market conditions, the production of products with higher value added creates competitive advantages for agricultural producers and grain processing enterprises. Improving the process of value added planning in the grain product subcomplex in this sense is one of the key factors. The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical aspects of the category "value added planning" and the peculiarities of its application in the planning process at the enterprises of the grain products subcomplex of the AIC of Ukraine. The research used dialectical, monographic methods and a systematic approach (to determine the role of value added planning as a systemic and complex phenomenon), as well as statistical methods, analysis and synthesis - to substantiate the calculated data. Gross value added includes the following main elements: wages with accruals; depreciation deductions; profit; rent; interest paid for the use of loan capital. Gross value added is greater than net value added at the cost of consumption in the production of fixed assets (depreciation). Net value added is essentially newly created value in the production process. Value added planning in the grain product subcomplex of the AIC is of great importance to ensure the timeliness of technological operations and the rational use of production resources. In this process, it is important to calculate the planned value of each element of value added, matching their values with the maximum growth of profits. In our opinion, in solving the problem of improving the efficiency of grain production an important role is given to the planning of such an element of added value as wages. This issue needs to be handled in such a way that labor productivity grows faster than wages. Here it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the involvement in the production of highly qualified employees and their proper motivation, along with an increase in wages, the company will receive more profit. Since rent is an element of value added that is included in the cost of production, its planned growth should be accompanied by a proportional increase in production efficiency. Thus, in the course of our research it became clear that the increase in the value added is one of the main factors increasing the efficiency of production at the enterprises of the grain product subcomplex of the AIC of Ukraine. Therefore, it is very important to consider the process of planning value added comprehensively, looking for reserves to increase it. We define the category of "value added planning" as a systemic and complex phenomenon, where profit planning is the final link in the plans of all the components of added value, which takes into account the optimization of production, as well as the rational ratio of remuneration to employees and owners of the enterprise.

CURRENT TRENDS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EUROPEAN MODEL OF ENSURING THE QUALITY OF LIVESTOCK PRODUCTS IN UKRAINE

The most important task of the modern agrarian policy for the development of the meat products sub-complex is to maintain and increase the level of meat production, stimulate the expansion of its range and degree of processing, as well as to improve the quality. The country's transition to market relations necessitates further improvement of the economic mechanism of management in the meat products sub-complex, their reorientation to stimulate the production of competitive products, considering consumer demand. The article aims to reveal modern approaches to guaranteeing the quality and safety of livestock products in the EU and substantiate the possibilities of their application in Ukraine. This work reveals modern approaches to guarantee the quality and safety of animal products in the EU and justify their possible use in Ukraine. The key elements of the new food safety concept in the EU, rooted in the early 2000s are discovered. The specific legislation governing food safeties in the EU is shoved up. The features of the system of quality certification and livestock products produced with food are discovered. Directions for the formation of an effective system for ensuring the quality and safety of organic livestock products are proposed. The experience of product quality management in the meat sub-complex of the EU countries is revealed. The trends of the European system of compulsory labelling of animal welfare in the manufacture of certain types of livestock production and distribution systems of the voluntary certification program for the protection of animals are revealed. The problems in quality due to the intensification of livestock are noted. The trends and modern approaches to improving knowledge about the impact of a number of substances and ingredients contained in animal products, on human health are analysed

Functioning of food enterprises in the context of export development policies implementation

The article describes the development trends of the modern poultry product subcomplex as a raw material base for food industry and state export activity. Import substitution and increasing export volumes are a priority for the federal and regional development policies of Russia. In this regard, the aim of the study was to analyze the current state of food industry in the context of policy implementation of import substitution and export development. The achievement of the set goal was disclosed by solving several interrelated tasks: 1) analysis of resources of food products (eggs and egg products) and their use; 2) identification of a hidden correlation between indicators “production” and “import”; 3) identification of a hidden correlation between indicators “production” and “export”. We hypothesized that indicators “production” and “export” of agri-food are directly correlated. Studies to identify hidden correlation dependencies have shown that there is a direct correlation between indicators “production” and “import”. Indicators “production” and “export” don’t have dependencies and influence on each other, therefore an increase in production doesn’t affect the direct export of eggs from the country.

ASSESSMENT OF THE CONDITION AND PRECONDITIONS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FOREIGN ECONOMIC CAPACITY OF THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY’S GRAIN PRODUCTS SUBCOMPLEX IN UKRAINE

Introduction. The role of the agricultural industry and its grain products subcomplex as the basic functioning direction is strategically important for strengthening Ukrainian competitive positions both from the viewpoint of trade and economic relations and the determinants of political and legal nature. Indeed, grain products subcomplex of the agricultural industry is formalized as a tool to defend and meet national interests in conditions of aggravated problem of quality and safe food deficit. Moreover, favorable preconditions for grain production in Ukraine is the basis of forming of the foreign economic capacity of the agricultural industry’s grain products, which can provide consistent currency revenues to the state budget. The paper aims to research the condition and preconditions of the implementation of the foreign economic capacity of the domestic grain products subcomplex of the agricultural industry. Results. The paper outlines the obstacles that substantially restrict the parameters of implementation of the foreign economic capacity of the agricultural industry’s grain products subcomplex in Ukraine. The lack of favorable preconditions for an investor in the agricultural industry’s grain products subcomplex is emphasized. The condition of implementation of the foreign economic capacity of the domestic grain products subcomplex is analyzed. Moreover, in order to understand the scales and the strategically important role of the agricultural industry’s grain products subcomplex in Ukraine are presented in meeting the global need for grain, the balances of the global wheat market across main countries-exporters. Conclusions. The functioning of the grain products subcomplex of the agricultural industry of Ukraine forms the favorable preconditions to implement its foreign economic capacity. Ratification of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement has secured the strategic reorientation of the export capacitates of the grain products subcomplex of the agricultural industry from the Russian Federation and the CIS countries towards the markets of the EU Member States. Egypt, China, and Spain hold the leading positions among the importers of domestic grain. The following factors of restriction of the parameters of foreign economic capacity implementation in the agricultural industry’s grain products subcomplex should be emphasized: flawed institutional environment, low level of industry innovative-technological modernization, excessive raw materials orientation of export, poor diversification of foreign sales markets, underdeveloped chain of logistics infrastructure facilities, non-correspondence of domestic and international standards of product quality and safety certification. Keywords: grain products complex, foreign economic capacity, agricultural industry.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE GRAIN DELIVERY QUALITY MANAGEMENT BY THE UKRAINIAN TERRITORY

The paper analyzes this day state of development and current trends in improving to the grain delivery quality management by the motor transport, within the framework both individual enterprises and the industry on the whole. It’s allowed to form the main purposes of the study this article. The scientific works about the grain delivery quality by road transport give main attention on the development of effective interaction between the process participants, but they don't consider possible changes in the execution of technological operations under the impact of relevant factors. It has been determined there is a need to choose a methodical approach to form effective grain delivery quality management to further reduce the cost of performed operations and accordingly to reduce grain losses. The structure of the process of grain cargo transportation quality management has been considered, namely: the place of transport processes in the functioning of the grain products subcomplex is determined; the scheme for the movement of grain cargoes along the routes is developed. Based on the known initial system's parameters (number of motor vehicles and specialized transport), output parameters (the grain loss throughout handling operations and transportation) and external ones (total amount of grain that was collected and transported, the prime cost of grain transportation, the coefficient of the spilling grain, the cost of grain), the object of study has been schematically presented in the white chest form. An analytical model in the form of total grain losses during the transportation has been constructed. A full-factorial experiment plan for five initial parameters consisting the 32 series of tests has been developed. At that the various combinations of external influence parameters, with appropriate intervals varying in number, have been used. As a result of experiment the values of grain losses during transportation by series of tests have been obtained. It has been determined that the numerical values of the two main parameters (the volume of transportation and the cost of freight) take on maximum ones. A regression analysis by linear function has been performed. With the help of Microsoft Excel some indicators have been calculated, such as the coefficients variables in an equation, the variance, the regression statistic, etc. The got model is found to be adequate because the value of R-squared goes toward 1 and equals 0.785. The values of the regression model coefficients as well as their adequate to the standard error, t-statistic, P-value, lower and upper value has been also checked. It has been established the obtained model allows to predict the system's conduct and to manage the grain delivery quality by the Ukrainian territory for the Company “HARMAR-Service”. Keywords: management, quality, delivery, grain, losses, road transport

Особливості функціонування галузі м’ясного скотарства

The article deals with the current state of development of meat cattle breeding, the dynamics of its main indicators, as well as factors, which restrain the development of the industry. It has been determined that livestock is an extremely important branch of agriculture, but the instability of the socio-economic situation, the low level of concentration of capital in the agrarian sector, the disparity in prices between agricultural products and industrial products and its consequences have been caused chronic disorders in this area. The results obtained showed that the reduction of the number of animals, the deterioration of its qualitative composition led to a decrease in the quality of products , its production volume, and as a consequent decrease of the consumption of valuable food. Therefore, in order to stabilize the situation it is necessary to introduce a mechanism of state support for the development of livestock , so that is possible to restore the industry's potential and provide the population with food, and provide the country with stable international positions. It is substantiated that the essential condition of effective management in the field of meat cattle breeding is the active use of the advantages of market relations. Productive and economic relations in the meat products subcomplex of the agro-industrial complex should be based on mutually agreed cooperation at the stages of raw material production, processing and consumption of the finished meat products, as well as the creation of integrated production units. It has been proved that one of the decisive factors in the progressive development of the meat industry is the forage base and the growth of the breeding core. It is noted that relations between producers of products of animal husbandry and processing enterprises should be based on objectively-justified pricing policy, which would exclude price disparity in the relations of participants in the meat products subcomplex of agro-industrial complex.
