The Impact

The article considers t the problem of determination of the degree of influence of uncertainty factors on the performance of an agricultural enterprise. Uncertainty and risk are an integral part of business life, and in agriculture they are all the more significant, since agricultural companies are greatly dependent on the influence of natural factors and phenomena. Consequently, the assessment of the directions and the strength of the impact of risk factors is of great importance for the plans and projects for the company's activities. After carrying out a schematic factor analysis of the financial results of the agricultural enterprise, the author selected parameters such as crop yields and average selling price, for analyzing the degree of exposure to uncertain factors. Since both the selected parameters are affected by a large number of both certain factors and factors uncontrollable for the company's management, the author finds it unacceptable to apply factor analysis to them. In the first place, the author justifies this by the difficulty in determining the weights of each influencing factor. Instead, the author suggests grouping all the factors on the basis of their certainty and definition of the influence degree for each group. For this purpose, the variability of each parameter in different series was analyzed: for several years in one enterprise and for one year in a number of similar enterprises. It was found that fluctuations in crop yields by enterprises were higher than by years. This forced the author to bring out the conclusion that there is a significantly greater influence of certain factors on this indicator. On the other hand, when analyzing prices, the opposite situation emerged: here the influence of uncertain factors is much stronger. As a result, the proposal was made for the projecting method, such as economic and mathematical modeling, to use the data from both the firm being the subject of modeling, and from the similar enterprises available from the regional Department of Agriculture. In this case, the accuracy of the forecast will be much higher, besides, it can be developed in 3 or 5 probability scenarios.

Subject of research is the economic content of innovation in agriculture. Purpose of the study is to consider the economic essence of innovation, outline the problems of the development of innovative activities of agricultural enterprises. Methods of research. The article uses a set of scientific methods of scientific research. The following research methods were used to write the article: logical generalization - to assess trends in the formation of the economic content of innovations in agricultural enterprises, as well as in the formation of a mechanism for managing the innovative process of an agricultural enterprise; dialectical and historical - in the study of scientific approaches to the formation of the economic content of innovations of the subject of economic activity, the generalization of foreign experience in securing business and the identification of conceptual approaches to taking into account the impact of threats on the innovative activities of the agricultural enterprise. Results of research. Challenges of modern times exert pressure on agriculture: population growth, the effects of climate change, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture, economic development and the growing instability associated with land, water and energy shortages. This scenario enhances the critical role of innovation to make agriculture a more competitive and sustainable industry. The article reveals the economic content of innovations as a category of economy and features of the functioning of innovations in agricultural enterprises of Ukraine, as well as the author's definition of the term "innovation". The main features of the innovation process are considered. Application of results. The results of this study can be applied in the practice of financial and economic activity of agricultural enterprises. Conclusions. Our analysis of professional literary sources and the scientific generalization of the existing views on the disclosure of the economic content of the term "innovation" have allowed us to state that, first, there is no conventional interpretation that would cover its most significant qualitative characteristics, and secondly, the main discussions of this issues focus mainly on three conceptual directions. Determining the specific features of bringing innovation to the consumer, it is customary to talk about innovation activity or innovation process as a process of transforming knowledge into innovation, passing the following stages: "science - technology - production - consumption". So the basic condition for the effective functioning of agricultural production is the expanded reproduction that occurs in the interaction of economic and natural-biological processes. Therefore, in the management of innovations need to take into account the requirements not only economic laws, but also the laws of nature: equivalence, indispensability and a combination of life factors, laws of minimum, optimum and maximum.

The Impact

The article studies the role of marketing management in the activity of agricultural enterprises. The agricultural sector is one of the key sectors of the Ukrainian economy, the core component of which is agricultural production. The findings of the article show the fact that a significant number of agricultural enterprises are unprofitable, with their share in the total number of enterprises accounting for 13.3%. Their performance largely depends on the impact of the extremely complex, dynamic and uncertain environment. The article suggests that only the businesses possessing the ability of adequate adjustment to the environment with taking precautions against negative effects timely and using opportunities the fullest ensure their competitiveness and profitability of their activity in the long run. The article determines marketing management tools to be relevant for ensuring successful operation of agricultural enterprises under modern conditions, for there is a need to find new approaches to managing enterprise activities. The article reveals the essence of marketing management; offers the interpretations of the concepts of "marketing management" and "management of marketing" given by the Ukrainian scientists and foreign researchers; and studies the difference between them. The article suggests that marketing management is a broader concept than management of marketing due to the fact that it is management of all general and individual functions of enterprise, as well as all divisions of enterprise on the basis of marketing. Marketing management considers marketing and management inseparably - they also mutually penetrate and complement each other. The main goal of marketing management is to increase profitability of enterprise by achieving maximum customer satisfaction. Based on the generalization of different views of scientists, the main stages of a marketing management process at agricultural enterprise are identified and characterized, including analysis of internal and external environment, selection of target market segments, marketing strategy formation, marketing complex development, organizational structure construction, marketing management program formation and marketing management control and analysis. The process of marketing management at agricultural enterprise contains a number of specific procedures aimed at research and formation of the demand of target consumers and comprehensive satisfaction of their needs. The findings of the research prove that the use of marketing management tools will help ensure the market orientation of agricultural enterprise, which provides a focus on success, timely adaptation to the environment, gaining a leading position in the market, providing competitive advantage.

Biomass Ashes

Since ashes are a possible source of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) contamination, their application in soils must be subject to more study and control. In this scope, feed residual forest biomasses and biomass ashes, collected along one year in four biomass power stations, were characterized mainly for their polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) contents. The biomasses present concerning levels of Cl (0.04–0.28%) that may lead to PCDD/Fs formation. The biomasses also contain OCDD (29–260 ng/kg) and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD (35 ng/kg) that may contribute to increased Toxic Equivalents (TEQs) of ashes, possibly involving dechlorination and ash enrichment mechanisms. While the WHO2005-TEQs in bottom ashes (14–20 ng TEQ/kg) reaches the proposed limit (20 ng TEQ/kg) for ash use as fertilizers, in fly ashes (35–1139 ng TEQ/kg) the limit is exceeded. PAHs are below 0.02 mg/kg in bottom ashes and 1.5–2.5 mg/kg in fly ashes, complying with the proposed limit of 6 mg/kg. As bottom and fly ash streams may contain different ash flows, a clear definition of ash mixes is required. Correlations between unburned carbon (C), PAHs and PCDD/Fs were not found, which highlights the need for compulsory PCDD/Fs analysis in ashes, independently of their origin, burnout degree or levels of other contaminants. A sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of handling non-detected values, which showed more impact for TEQs values close to the proposed regulatory limit of PCDD/Fs. These findings highlight the need to define reporting protocols of analytical results for risk assessments and conformity evaluation.

The article examines and systematizes factors affecting the viability of an agricultural enterprise (external: economic, political, legal, technological, climatic, socio-demographic, market) and internal factors (financial and economic, material and technical, production and technological, personnel and intellectual , innovative and environmental), which made it possible to substantiate the differences in the parameters for assessing the viability of an agricultural enterprise and, on this basis, build a three-vector model for assessing the viability of an enterprise for a targeted search for possible ways to increase its viability. An algorithm for assessing the viability of an enterprise has been built, including an assessment of the dynamics of indicators, their factor analysis and determination of the state of viability, which allows not only assessing the current state, but also predicting future development, which makes it possible for the enterprise to timely identify deviations and make informed management decisions. The practical significance of the obtained results of the study lies in the possibility of using the obtained theoretical and methodological provisions in the practical activities of agricultural enterprises to ensure their viability through the application in practice of evaluating the parameters that determine the viability of an enterprise as a tool for managing sustainable development.

The development of multi-vector economy, effective implementation of reforms in this sphere as well as improvement of living standards is impossible without a qualitative operation of financial controlling services, especially at agricultural enterprises. However, the lack of effective state support in this area as well as professional financial controllers in the agrarian sector had a negative impact not only on the resource provision, but also the whole profitability of enterprises in the industry. Therefore, at the present stage of development of Ukrainian agrarian sector the topical issue is definition of common principles for the implementation of effective financial and credit policy at the agricultural industry of the economy. Given the topicality of the above issue and lack of its study, the main purpose of this Research is a determination of the role of financial controllers staff in the formation of the credit policy of agricultural enterprises and measures for its enhancement. As a result of the analysis, we have found that financial controlling together with all its components provides for timely reflection and provision of information on financial and economic activities to external and internal users by experts for the purpose of further planning and implementation of their management decisions. In addition, taking into account the above approach, we have identified the main stages in the formation of the credit policy at agricultural enterprises with the participation of controlling services staff. They include both financial controllers’ analysis of an agricultural enterprise activity on the possibility of its crediting and scientific and practical approaches to the implementation of specific credit policies. We also have found that, first of all, it is necessary to involve financial controllers in all micro and macro credit development processes in order to increase the role of controlling services in the formation of the credit policy at agricultural enterprises. The above approach is comprehensive and provides the conditions for a differential study of the problem of the effective financial controllers’ performance at enterprises of the agrarian sector of the economy at both national and regional levels.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to develop non-financial reporting of medium-sized agricultural enterprises of Ukraine through the definition of the main activities of the enterprise, which are subject to disclosure in non-financial reporting, to meet the information needs of internal and external stakeholders of such enterprises. Methodology / approach. The research methods are based on dialectical and systematic approaches to assessing the current state of non-financial reporting of Ukrainian enterprises. Methods of analysis and synthesis are used to determine the main activities of agricultural enterprises, which are subject to disclosure in non-financial statements, based on requests from interested users. To obtain data on information requests of internal stakeholders of the surveyed enterprises, continuous initial observation was applied, and external sample holders were subjected to continuous sample observation. Internal (in particular, the population units are employees and owners) and external (in particular, the population units are contractors, consumers, creditors, investors, government agencies, NGOs) stakeholders are selected as the object of observation. Results. According to the results of the study, in the formation of non-financial reporting agricultural enterprises of Ukraine should pay special attention to areas of activity that are of greatest interest to stakeholders: development and improvement of working conditions, investment in regional development, respect for human rights, implementation of CSR programs in the supply chain. The main activities of the company, which are subject to disclosure in non-financial reporting, provide an opportunity to meet the information needs of internal and external stakeholders. Originality / scientific novelty. Failure to meet information needs of both internal and external stakeholders of agricultural enterprises has necessitated the improvement of organizational and methodological approaches to the formation of non-financial reporting of agricultural enterprises by identifying the main activities of the enterprise to be disclosed in non-financial reporting. The use of these areas creates an opportunity for stakeholders to obtain data that provide integrated information on the activities of agricultural enterprises. Practical value / implications. Disclosure of information in accordance with certain main activities of the enterprise will reduce the cost of users to obtain, process and systematize data, which will reduce inefficient use of resources in the preparation, substantiation, implementation and evaluation of economic decisions, as well as increase analytical capabilities for its use in the interest of stakeholders. The identified main areas of activity can be used as a basis for developing a long-term strategy for the formation of non-financial reporting of the agricultural enterprise, which will simplify the preparation of information for its full disclosure. This will increase the level of transparency of enterprises and will serve as a tool for building their positive reputation.
