Introduction. According to experts, in the coming years, the world market of organic products will continue to grow at a rate of 15-16% per year. The growth will equal about 20% of the world market of all agricultural products by 2025. In this connection, of a particular interest is the development of elements of agricultural technologies for the use of soil-improving substances and growth regulators of natural origin, including humic preparations, which provide for sufficiently high yields of agricultural products. Materials and Methods. The methods of using humic preparations were investigated on the example of spring barley seeds, treated with the traditional semi-dry method and using hot mist. Germination of seeds in the laboratory was carried out according to the Russian State Standard GOST 12038-84. The laboratory data were subjected to mathematical processing by the method of variance analysis. Results. The treatment of seeds with humic preparations led to an increase in sowing qualities, regardless of the method of seed treatment. However, the comparative efficiency analysis of the pre-sowing treatment of the test crop seeds with the aerosol and using the semi-dry method showed that the use of the developed equipment made it possible to increase the biological activity of humic preparations, which brought about an increase in the growth and biometric parameters of seedlings. Discussion and Conclusion. The treatment of spring barley seeds with humic preparations has some positive effect on their sowing and yield qualities. The strongest positive effect was obtained when treating seeds with reduced sowing qualities, which was quite often observed when harvesting seed crops in years with unfavorable conditions: heavy rainfall, lack of heat, as well as in violation of the technology of harvesting and preparing seeds. Our experimental studies showed that the use of the developed device for treating seeds with hot mist reduces energy costs and increases processing efficiency.

An important literature on the recipient-countries’ export performance effect of Aid for Trade (AfT) flows has focused on the goods side. The few existing studies on the services exports effects of AfT interventions have reached mixed results, reflecting a positive or weak effect. This study aims to complement these few studies by examining the effect of AfT flows on recipient-countries’ share of services exports in the world services exports (‘services export integration’), including through two main channels: their share of merchandises exports in the world merchandises exports (‘merchandises export integration’) and the size of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows. The empirical analysis, based on a sample of 105 countries over the period 2002–2016, has shown that these two channels definitely matter for the effect of AfT flows on countries’ services export integration. Specifically, by fostering countries’ merchandises export integration, AfT flows can promote their services export integration. Furthermore, promoting FDI inflows enhances the positive effect of AfT flows on countries’ services export integration.

Applying a strategic management perspective, particularly the BCG tool, this chapter demonstrates that the agricultural products exported by Turkey are distributed unevenly on the four cells of the global agricultural markets matrix: almost of its products (236 products or 85.20% of its portfolio) are Question Marks, two products are a Star, one product is a Cash cow, and 38 products are Dogs. Such a situation creates important strategic choices for the leaders of the country and for its businesses. None of Turkey top ten exports were among the top ten growers in the world. Turkey is world export leader in ten products, but these products are not the world most growing markets, and the country should increase its relative market share in some of its ten top exports, and also consider developing organic product segments, and eliminate tobacco products in its portfolio.

Corn, after Wheat and rice, is the third most strategic agricultural products in the world. This product also provides poultry feed, grain, edible oil beneficial for starch, glucose, and even the production of biofuels. Corn is by far the largest component of world coarse-grain trade, accounting for about three-quarters of total volume in recent years. Most of the corn that is traded is used for feed; smaller amounts are traded for industrial and food uses. This paper aims to determine market structure of corn which can play important roles in the adoption of appropriate policies. This study uses different indexes: concentration ratio, Herfindahl, Entropy and logarithmic standard deviation to determine market structure of exports and imports of this product during 2000-2011. The results have shown that the structure of the world market for imports and exports of corn was opened oligopoly and monopoly with a dominant firm.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v8i5.11856

Events of the past two years, specifically the agricultural price explosion of 1973, have strongly emphasized the growing interdependency of countries in the production, consumption and trade in agricultural products. The illusion of a closed agricultural economy has been dealt a series of severe blows. The world monetary crisis, the dollar devaluations, and sharply increased foreign demand for U.S. commodities have suggested that there is a single world market for basic commodities.


Modern processes of reforming the agroindustrial complex of Ukraine in the conditions of globalization of world economic processes in the agricultural market requires from the domestic agroholdings the improvement and rational management of production activity. So the tendencies of development of agroholdings and other agroformations in modern socio-economic conditions are relevant. In order to study the mechanism of their development, models of interconnection between the components of production of the main types of products of agricultural holdings and the availability of agricultural raw materials are constructed. The main approaches are the multivariate regression modeling of the dependence of production of agricultural holdings on components of agricultural production. The subject of the study in the article is the development of the agroholdings. The goal is researching of the tendencies of development of agroholdings and other agroformations in modern socio-economic conditions. Objectives: research of dynamics of the development of agroholdings of Ukraine in terms of its components in the conditions of globalization of world economic processes in the market of agricultural products. Common scientific methods are used: system analysis for to determine the peculiarities of the development of the agro-industrial production in Ukraine; the regression analysis for calculating of the dependence of production of agricultural holdings on components of agricultural production. The following results: on the basis of the analysis of the dynamics of changes in the main indices of domestic agricultural production were obtained analytical interdependence of factors influencing on development of agroholdings. Conclusions: the multivariate regression model of the dependence of production of agricultural holdings on components of agricultural production is calculated; obtained researchings are expedient to use in foreign economic activity as recommendations for definition of the strategy of Ukraine on the world market of agricultural products.

Plant growing is a traditional specialization of agriculture on the territory of Western Ukraine. Favorable factors of its development have had a positive effect on gardening, which has become a priority for the processing industry for the last five years. Ukrainian farmers use modern plant cultivation technologies, increase the profitability of production, create new working places. The budgets of territorial communities have additional financial revenues. All these factors contribute to lowering social tensions in the region. However, the overcoming of deterrent factors in the development of the industry requires state support for attracting foreign capital, increasing subsidies for laying new gardens, loyal lending to construction projects for modern fruit stores. The solution of these problems will help ensure the processing enterprises with the high-quality raw materials and increase the competitiveness of ecological products of food industry at the world market and increase the currency inflows of the state as well.

The main aim of this paper is to examine international competitiveness of Turkey both in world market and CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) in comparison with Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Ukraine, Russia and to determine the value of trade between Turkey and CIS countries. The Revealed Comparative Advantage, Grubel-Lloyd (IIT) and Trade Intensity indices were calculated for sixteen commodity groups over the period 1996–2008 by using WTO data. The results suggest that Turkey is more competitive in CIS market and has comparative advantage in various products. Turkey has comparative advantage not only in agricultural products, food, manufactures, automotive products, textile and clothing as the world market but also in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, machinery-transport equipment, office-telecom equipment and telecommunications vis-à-vis CIS countries. CIS countries exhibit similar comparative advantages in the world market. CIS countries have comparative advantage particularly in fuels and mining products, agricultural products, food, iron and steel but in a decreasing trend. The IIT results indicate that while Turkey approaches intra-industry specialization in agricultural products, food and textile but also manufacture products such as iron and steel, telecommunications equipment, machinery-transport and automotive products. CIS countries’ economy indicates increasing intra-industry trade in agriculture products, food manufactures, iron and steel. It is found that there is an intense relationship between Turkey and CIS countries except Belarus. Bilateral trade flow between Turkey and Azerbaijan, Kyrgyz Republic and the Georgia is extremely larger than these countries’ importance in world trade.

This article investigates the impact of countries' comparative advantage following (CAF) strategy on their integration into the world markets for manufactured exports. The analysis uses a panel dataset of 113 countries (comprising both developed and developing countries) over the period 1995-2015. Based on the two-step system Generalized Method of Moments approach, the findings have shown that the CAF development strategy induces a rise in countries' share of manufactured export products in the world's total manufactured exports. Interestingly, the magnitude of this positive effect of the CAF strategy increases as the size of inward FDI stock rises. An important implication of this analysis is that countries that promote industries in line with their comparative advantage are likely to enjoy a greater integration into the world market for manufactured export products, notably when they experience a greater size of inward FDI stock.
