The use of mechanization services can significantly contribute to reducing production costs, enabling agricultural producers to implement technical progress without any investment. The article attempted to identify trends in demand for agricultural mechanization services in the European Union countries in 2010-2017. Changes in the value of services per 1 ha of UAA and changes in the share of mechanization services in total expenditures incurred for agricultural production were examined. It was found that the value of services per 1 ha of UAA on average in the EU increased. The share of services in intermediate consumption has also increased. As a result of grouping objects by the Ward method, 5 clusters of countries were distinguished, which differed among each other in terms of the proposed features, while the countries that created the focus were characterized by similar values of variables. The countries in which both a clear increase in the value of mechanization services per unit area was observed as well as a significant increase in the value of services in indirect consumption were: Finland, Germany, Latvia, Romania and Estonia. A clear decline in demand for mechanization services occurred in Greece and Lithuania.

Means Of Production

Currently, agricultural means of production are of great importance in agribusiness, in particular mineral fertilizers and chemical plant protection products. The article attempts to present and compare changes in the value of used fertilizers and plant protection products in European Union countries in 2010-2018. Changes in the value of used fertilizers and plant protection products per 1 ha of UAA and changes in the share of these means of production in intermediate consumption were examined. It was found that the value of used fertilizers and plant protection products per 1 ha of UAA increased on average in the EU. Their share in intermediate consumption also increased. As a result of grouping objects using the Ward method, 4 clusters of countries were obtained, which differed in terms of the proposed features, while the countries that created the given cluster were characterized by similar values of variables. The countries where both a clear increase in the value of used fertilizers and plant protection products per unit area as well as a significant increase in their value in intermediate consumption were observed: Lithuania, Bulgaria and Estonia. However, a decline in demand for the discussed means of production occurred in Belgium, Croatia, Slovenia, Denmark, Finland and Portugal.

The rational use of land, capital and labor determine the growth of economic efficiency of agricultural production and income of farmers together. The aim is to estimate the use of production resources in the EU-27 agricultural sector, using macro-economic indicators. The analysis and assessment of the use of land resources in agriculture have been conducted on the basis of data on economic accounts for agriculture and agricultural census to describe agricultural production intensity by type of farming and its impact on farm income. This paper examines the use of land resources in agriculture, measured by using relative indicators of agricultural output, intermediate consumption per hectare of agricultural land, the revenue per average employee and the comparative analysis these indicators in the farms of the European Union (EU) is presented.

The text analyses the influence of the EU climate policy on the competitiveness pollution-generating of sectors of the Polish economy. Study of literature and the results of the questionnaire survey, carried out in 2008 in enterprises located in Poland and representing the steel, glass, aluminium and cement industries became a basis for formulating conclusions concerning the consequences of the climate policy already implemented and planned after 2012. The EU climate policy, particularly the common system of emission allowances trade, makes the enterprises face new developmental barriers. The expected increase in production costs will not only slow down the production dynamics, but may also entail lowering the competitiveness of Polish companies compared to companies from outside the EU, to which the greenhouse gasses emission limits do not apply. Adverse consequences for employment and for regional development should also be considered indisputable. If that was accompanied by an emission leakage outside the EU, achieving the global purposes of the climate policy would also become questionable. The businesses surveyed represent industries which are pollution generators by their nature and even ecologically-oriented technological progress is incapable of ensuring considerable emission reductions without general switching of the economy to renewable energy sources.

The so-called "big enlargement" of the European Union in 2004 triggered many changes in the functioning of individual agricultural markets. They concerned agricultural producers, processors and distributors from new but also old members of the EU. The aim of the study is to analyze changes in volume and structure in pig production in EU with particular focus on changes in the position of countries which joined the EU after 2004. The analysis covered the years 2005-2016. Statistical materials from Eurostat database were used. The basic statistical methods of data analysis were used in the study. In the analyzed years, with the general trend of pork production growth in the EU, there have been significant changes in its size in individual countries. There has been a significant increase in production in so-called old EU countries. The main beneficiaries of the in the pork market in the EU area were livestock producers and processors from Germany and Spain. In the countries which joined the EU after 2004, there has generally been a downward trend in volume of production, with the largest declines in most countries observed in 2009.

Abstract. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the competitive development of regional agricultural producers in terms of correction of their sectoral structure in the context of European integration processes. Methodology / methodology / approach. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is the dialectical method of cognition, a systematic approach to the study of economic phenomena and processes, scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists on the theory and practice of competitive development of agricultural production considering exogenous and endogenous factors. Of the special research methods used economic and statistical — in analyzing the current state and forecasting the prospects for competitive development of regional agricultural producers in terms of European integration processes, graphical — to determine the projected volumes of livestock products on farms in the Carpathian region of Ukraine, abstract and logical substantiation of the institutional and economic mechanism of competitive development of agricultural producers of the Carpathian region of Ukraine in the context of correction of their branch structure. Results. The study revealed that given the possibility of establishing cross-border partnerships, deepening economic European integration with EU countries, an important economic priority of regional agricultural producers in the Carpathian region of Ukraine is the ability to form a market for various types of agri-food products with a geographical indication. The Carpathian region of Ukraine has a strong enough land and resource potential for the production of quality and safe dairy products with high added value. According to the calculations, provided the use of competitive advantages, which are enshrined in law in the EU, in the study region, the potential production of the most important livestock products — milk on farms can increase from 14 thousand tons to 252 thousand tons, or 18 times. In the region, the revival of traditional areas of specialization in agricultural production will contribute to the correction of its sectoral structure, improving organizational and economic conditions for self-sufficiency in livestock products, minimizing economic risk due to expanding areas of specialization, reducing transaction costs for transportation and sales enterprises of various organizational and legal forms of management that will produce products with high added value. Originality / scientific novelty. For the first time, the organizational and economic principles of optimizing the sectoral structure of regional agricultural producers, considering the competitive advantages that are enshrined in law in the EU. Practical value / significance. According to the calculations in the Carpathian region, taking into account the principle of bonus of 10.0% for agri-food organic, including niche or craft livestock products with a geographical indication will adjust the industry structure of agricultural enterprises in accordance with scientifically sound requirements and increase the traditional level of production at the same time, the vital type of food products — milk by 13.0—22.0 percentage points.

Abstract This paper presents the questionnaire results of the research on implications of the effects of Slovenia’s accession to the European Union (EU) on structural changes in agricultural holdings (AHs) in the case of Škofjeloška hilly-mountain rural areas. The effects are studied based on the analysis of income diversification of AHs three years before the Slovenian accession to the EU in 2000 and six years after the Slovenian accession to the EU in 2010. Strategies of AHs on the basis of the questionnaire were analysed in early 2011. Income diversification of AHs with non-agricultural employment and off-farm incomes is necessary for survival for the majority of AHs. There are observed differences in structural changes in the AHs between areas with different natural conditions for agricultural production, and particularly in the extent and in the direction of structural changes by socioeconomic types of AHs. Structural changes inhibit non-economic objectives of AHs, while non-agricultural employment has a two-way influence.

The task of the national sustainable development strategy is to provide a long term conception for the economy and society, so that this might function and develop in harmony with the environment. Creating the conditions for sustainable agricultural production requires the elaboration and implementation of long-term programs spanning generations. The objective is to find a compromise between the conceptions appearing in the long-term and the short-term programs.In Hungary, several principles, conceptions and proposals have been suggested regarding sustainable agriculture. In the present study, I intend to systematize the above mentioned principles and conceptions, and compare them to the conceptions regarding agriculture in the national strategies of the EU member states. Furthermore, I examine to what extent the agricultural policy of the European Union supports the conceptions regarding agriculture in the strategies. This topic deserves special attention, as the Hungarian national sustainable development strategy is being prepared and is supposed to be finished by the end of 2005.

At present, the state of the economy of the agricultural sector in many countries of the world, including in the countries of the European Union (EU), inherent in developed industry, has led to the transition to a new environmentally oriented agricultural policy. An important role is assigned to state support of agricultural producers, through subsidies, preferential credit policy, and in some countries, the complete abolition of taxation of entrepreneurial activity in rural areas, which confirms the relevance and national economic significance of the article. In domestic agroeconomic science and practice, there is no scientific concept of state participation in the process of bringing the agricultural sector out of the crisis. Research objectives – consider the development policy of the agricultural sector of the EU countries; study the level of state support for agricultural producers. The purpose of the work is to consider the degree of development of the agricultural policy of the EU countries in the context of ensuring food security. The methods and methodology of the research were general scientific, particular methods of cognition, including the historical and logical, the method of observation and comparison. Shows the main approaches to state regulation of the development of the agro-industrial sector at the level of the European Union as a whole and in the context of member countries; characteristic features and principles that determine the success and integrity of a unified agricultural policy; factors contributing to the productivity of agricultural land; agro-ecological requirements restricting the import of genetically modified products; the main tasks in the development of a new policy of the agrarian sector of the economy; priority directions of regulation of measures to support agricultural producers, integrated development of rural areas, increasing the competitiveness of the EU agricultural sector. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that this study will allow the state bodies of Belarus to better understand how it is necessary to form an agricultural policy in the context of ensuring food security.

The goal is to study the issues and prospects of digitalization in agricultural sector, aimed at ensuring sustainable development of the republic's economy, increasing labor productivity, management efficiency, intensive production in agro-industrial complex. Objectives – to study the aspects of this issue related to the implementation of the State policy of creating information and digital platforms to increase the competitiveness and export potential of agricultural production in the regions. The results of the study showed that despite the increase in agricultural production in 2018-2020, the dynamic processes of development of the industry are not significantly associated with the introduction of digital solutions, since the critical mass of the use of electronic, network technologies has not yet been formed. Examples of digital services used in Kazakhstan are presented. Recommendations on informing agricultural producers about the inclusion of this set of issues during the national census of population, necessary for the formation of an appropriate database in agricultural sector have been presented. Some aspects of participation of stakeholders in the formation of digital platforms and the concept of creating an information and communication ecosystem of agro-industrial complex of the republic are considered. Proposals on participation of local executive bodies in the implementation of digital technologies for management of the industry have been developed. Measures for the development of digital competencies of agricultural specialists are proposed. Conclusions – informatization of agricultural sector contributes to a significant reduction in production costs, ensures the rational use of the potential of natural resources.
