Introduction. The active movement of Ukraine towards integration into the world economy, the liberalization of customs regimes, the expansion of sales markets and the introduction of innovations have created new prospects for the progress of the production of exports-oriented agricultural products. Foreign economic activity plays a significant role in the economy of the country, affects its internal dynamics and competitiveness, so the research of trends in the formation of commodity exports are of current importance.  Aim and tasks. The aim of the article is to research the dynamics of progress and the current state of the agricultural sector of the economy of Ukraine in the field of crop production, the contribution to it of the main categories of farms and the role of the agricultural sector in the formation of the exports potential of the country. For the solvation of this problem, a number of statistical materials, scientific publications and Internet resources on the indicators of production activities of agricultural enterprises were used, the methods of mathematical statistics and economic and mathematical modeling were applied. Results. The conducted researches allowed to evaluate the contribution of the main categories of farms to crop production in 2010-2017. To estimate the distribution of land between agricultural enterprises the Lorenz curve was constructed, the Gini coefficient and the Hoover index were calculated. Calculations showed that 81.5% of enterprises had 13.4% of the total land area,  and in order to achieve an equal distribution of land between enterprises, it is necessary to redistribute 68% of the land areas. It has been established that in the agricultural sector of Ukraine there is a polarization in the production of agricultural products – small-scale forms of management dominate in the production of labor-intensive and low-income goods, while products of powerful agricultural enterprises have a high yield and low labor intensity. One of the leading places in crop production is the cultivation of sunflower due to its high profitability. Linear and multiplicative regression models of dependence of the volume of sunflower production. It was determined that high levels in the structure of commodity exports of Ukraine belong to sunflower oil, wheat, corn, barley, rapeseed and soybeans, and it was noted the important role of agricultural holdings in forming the exports potential. Conclusions. Agricultural enterprises, in particular, holdings, which have more opportunities than households for increasing their production through the introduction of innovations and the scale of production play a growing role in the production of agricultural products . Ukraine makes a significant contribution to global food security, but its position in the world markets as a producer and supplier of raw materials is fixed. Exports of goods with a low level of added value largely depend on fluctuations in world prices, which contributes to the sensitivity of the domestic economy to external negative trends, therefore, Ukrainian commodity exports need to diversify and increase the share of high technological value added goods.

Food Grain

The Agriculture sector plays an important role in the Indian Economy. Besides assuring the food grain security to nearly 1350 million (m) human population and fodder security to 512.05 m livestock population of the country, it contributes about 16% of total GDP, 12.5% of total export, and provides employment to over 50% total workforce of the country. Owing to the introduction of improved production technologies, expansion of irrigation facilities, increase the use of synthetic inputs, popularization of the technologies, implementation of policies for the agricultural development and greater investment in agricultural sector, food grain output in the country increased from 51.8 million tons (m.t) in 1950-51 to 285.01 m t in 2018-19. The growth rate of food grain production for the period between 2010-11 and 2017-18 was almost double the population growth rate. Despite the overwhelming growth in food grain production, market size, availability of improved production technologies and being the front ranking producer of many crops in the world, Indian agriculture is still facing several challenges, which are severely affecting its performance, income, employment and livelihood of the farmers. Rainfed agriculture in India occupies the largest area and the value of the produce in the world. It accounts for nearly 52% of the total net cultivated area of the country. Rainfed agriculture must play an important role in food security and sustainability of livelihoods because almost 40% human and 60% livestock population of the country depend on it. But, it is And characterized by unstable yield, dominance of marginal and small operational holdings, occurrence of frequent drought, low income, and lack of regular employment, food insecurity, out migration, malnutrition and poor socio-economic status of the inhabitants of the rainfed regions. In the era of globalization, transformation of subsistence agriculture to commercial agriculture coupled with increase of income higher per unit area is the need of the day to sustain the people’s livelihood in the rainfed regions. Efficient use of rainwater and soil moisture, adoption of improved production technologies of crop production, alternate land use systems (ALUS), integrated farming systems (IFSs), conservation of natural resources and better access to markets are of prime importance not only for enhancing crop production, income and employment, but also to sustain the livelihoods of the farmers under variable climatic condition of the rainfed regions. Hence, efforts have been made to discuss the constraints and improved production technologies, which can be effective to realize higher crop productivity and income from the rainfed agriculture in India.

The article covers the process of statistical observation in agricultural statistics of Ukraine. It is established that the sta-tistical data are based on the reporting of agricultural enterprises and is the basis for the compilation of 19 statistical forms, namely 9 year, 1 semester, 2 quarter, 7 months. It has been found that product balances are calculated for the most important products annually, quarterly and monthly at the country level. Balances in terms of agricultural enterprises and households are in the regions. In product balances, an assessment is made of output, intermediate consumption and value added. Different methods have been formed on the basis of calculations of the basic statistical indicators of production of crop and livestock production. In the analysis of statistical reporting, a list of shortcomings in the objectivity of the reflection of transformational changes in the domestic agricultural sector of Ukraine is distinguished. When conducting the All-Ukrainian Agricultural Census, it is necessary to allocate from the whole set of farms of the corporate sector of the agrarian economy a group of subsidiaries with the use of an expanded system of indicators that will allow them to assess the state of their resource potential and development prospects, to conduct a comparative analysis with other subjects of agribusiness that are not part of agroholdings and other agro-industrial associations. In the course of the research it was discovered that agroholdings and other agro-industrial associations are not subject to statistical study, but their activity plays an important role in agricultural production. We consider it necessary to develop the legal regulation of the activities of all members of the agroindustrial association for the analysis of their activities as legal entities on the basis of consideration of consolidated financial statements submitted by them to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. It has been established that the agricultural census is an indispensable element of agrarian statistics, since it is not possible to obtain the most complete and detailed information on the current state and prospects of the development of agricultural business entities, the availability and use of their resource potential without end to end, which will eventually allow them to form an effective agrarian and food policy. The study found that the structural indicators of gross output and gross value added of agriculture is affected by the fact that the level of current prices used in calculations of household products by 30-40% higher than the price level for similar products of "non-financial corporations" of agricultural purpose . At the same time, differences in current prices in the regions of Ukraine also lead to inequality of physical volumes of production and value added; therefore, it is necessary to improve the work of the national accounting system for the formation of common comparable prices for agricultural products and to evaluate the volumes of production and value added on the basis of special calculations. We believe that in order to avoid problems arising when calculating cross-sectoral comparative analysis, it is necessary to improve the informational and methodological support of dynamic characteristics of gross value added in comparative prices. The priority directions of improvement of the current methodology of food balance production in accordance with inter-national standards have been formed, namely: further work on the methodology of calculating the level of consumption based on the balance of food resources in accordance with international standards, including determining the level of consumption in terms of nutrition elements; revision of the coefficients of conversion of food products into agricultural products, taking into account changes in the technology of its production; Expansion of the existing system of balance of food resources, etc. We believe that the lack of necessary opportunities in the development of statistical support for the functioning of the agro-food sector of the economy is due to the lack of financial resources for the collection of primary data. The main reasons for the weakness of the development of agricultural statistics are established. We believe that it is ne-cessary to establish a systematic assessment based on the use of the system of identical international criteria, which would help to carry out a detailed diagnosis and analysis of current statistical opportunities for each country. We have proposed the need to create an analytical center under the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, which will ensure the integration of all state information resources about the country's agroindustrial complex, the creation of a single automated system for collecting and detailed analysis of data on the state of the domestic agricultural sector and agri-cultural infrastructure, forecasting the development of agricultural markets. Key words: agro-industrial associations, infrastructure, food balance, added value, information database, analytical center.

The Creation

The article analyzes the production of agricultural products in India for the period 2000-2018. - as the basis for the formation of export potential, which has shown an increase in production in almost all major types of agricultural products in India. Today India is a major exporter of agricultural products and foodstuffs and ranks sixth in the ranking of the 10 largest exporters in the world. Its share in the global market in 2018 was 2.2%. ($ 42 billion). India intends in the future to significantly increase the volume of supplies of agricultural products to the world market - up to 100 billion dollars. In this regard, India has developed a new export policy aimed at developing export potential through the production of high value-added products and the development of export infrastructure, which will increase the competitiveness of Indian products in the global food market. The article discusses some aspects of export policy. Particular attention is paid to the formation of clusters and agricultural export zones, the creation of which will attract foreign investment both in agricultural production and in the development of infrastructure in India, and ensure the production of high quality products. An important point in the formation of clusters is the involvement of farmers in the value chain through the creation of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), designed to help smallholders overcome shortcomings in production and expand the presence of farmers in foreign markets. The article reflects the infrastructure to support exports and stimulate the production of export agricultural products with high added value. The issues of mutual trade in agricultural products between India and Russia and some directions of its development are considered.

The Impact

In this paper it is noted that the important problem of the existing economic relations in the agrarian sphere is the choice of forms of management. The practice of reforms in agriculture has shown that more than 80% of gross output in Kazakhstan is currently produced by "households" and peasant (farmer) farms which provides further increase in the production of agricultural products namely crop production and increase its economic efficiency. Currently the agricultural sector has a tendency to small-scale production. As the situation has shown one of the main factors negatively influencing investment activity is financial instability of the majority of agricultural producers, low level of its profitability and significant risks.  Factors of low profit growth of the agricultural sector are related to the peculiarities of demand for agricultural products and seasonality of production in this industry. The analysis of the structure of gross agricultural production of the Republic of Kazakhstan by categories of farms, the returnability of agricultural production for 2012-2016 shows the impact of the price and yield of grain on the level of farm income. Proposals for further improvement of grain pricing are given.

The article considers the development of outsourcing relations in the world, the role of outsourcing in the development of the world economy. There are some researches on this issue that describe certain aspects of the functioning of organizations that use outsourcing in their activities, which, however, without considering the industry specifics of using outsourcing. In particular, this applies to the theoretical and practical use of outsourcing in the agricultural business. Taking into account the dynamic of outsourcing development, its research requires constant scientific exploring, updating knowledge in this area, comprehensive analysis, generalization of modern outsourcing practices, and formulation of the precise scientific and practical recommendations. Outsourcing relations in the agro-industrial business of the Netherlands, Great Britain, Poland and Japan are analyzed. The advantages and risks of outsourcing and selection of outsourcers to perform certain functions of the enterprise are systematized. It has been proven that companies that use only internal opportunities instead of external ones (instead of outsourcing) are less innovation-oriented and cannot take advantage of opportunities to develop new value added products. It is noted that highly specialized outsourcers can do much more to create added value at a lower cost than any integrated enterprise. There are basic criteria for choosing an outsourcer determined. The expected benefits from the use of outsourcing are singled out: savings in operating costs, reduction of investment costs, supply of fresh capital, conversion of constant value into variable, improving the quality of products and services, improving the adaptability of the enterprise, access to modern technologies, focus on key activities and solutions associated with existing features. The existence of a strong positive correlation between the level of outsourcing development and production volumes, trade volumes, employment level and innovation level has been proved. The reasons for the low level of implementation and development of outsourcing in domestic vertically integrated agricultural enterprises are identified.

History Of

The article analyzes the research of the role of cooperation in the scientific heritage of Ukrainian diaspora’s economists, whose efforts in the late XIX – early XXI centuries created many professional works on the history of the cooperative movement. The review of the works of Ukrainian diaspora economists by the author is carried out on the basis of a civilizational paradigm and the systemic approach. The selected methodological basis allowed to consider a number of scientific works as such that reveal cooperation on the territory of Ukraine as a systemic phenomenon, whose functioning was influenced by other subsystems of society (political, social, spiritual and cultural ones). It is emphasized that the scientists of the Ukrainian diaspora presented a holistic picture of the organizational formation and functioning of Ukrainian cooperation, and analysis is made of its specific and regional features. It is noted that immigrant economists played an important role in the recovery of cooperation, first of all, in the agricultural sector, seeing in this organizational form a possible way to create large agricultural enterprises provided the small-scale peasant ownership is maintained. It is noted that the representatives of the Ukrainian diaspora paid considerable attention to the deepening of theoretical study on the problems of cooperation. It is concluded that the role of cooperation in the research of scientists of the Ukrainian diaspora was reflected in the following factors: first, cooperation was a factor of economic selforganization of Ukrainians; second, it helped to improve the lives of its participants; thirdly, cooperation caused a rise of general and economic education; and fourth, the cooperative movement positively influenced the growth of national consciousness and selfidentification of Ukrainians. It is emphasized that it is important to pay attention to the each individual scientist own attitude to the role of cooperation in the economic life of Ukrainian society and their author's ideas regarding the construction of an integral national economic system. The author sees prospects for further research in this direction in expanding the field of research on the role of cooperation in the scientific heritage of the Ukrainian diaspora, namely, in the study of its importance for the formation of the ideas of Ukrainian economic nationalism.

Purpose. The aim of this article is to study the preconditions that contributed to changes in the institutional support of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises, to identify trends in foreign trade in agricultural products and to assess the effectiveness of such changes for direct producers of agricultural products. Methodology of research. The abstract and logical method and the method of generalization were used in the research, which allowed to determine the prerequisites for the formation of competitive advantages of domestic agricultural products in the world market, to establish the factors of influence on the change in the institutional support of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises. As a result of using the economic and statistical method, a research was made of the trends in the geographical diversification of exports of agricultural products and their processed products under the influence of the institutional environment of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises. Findings. The conditions for the development of foreign economic activity of agricultural enterprises are identified, changes in foreign trade in agricultural products and in the flow of foreign direct investment as a result of Ukraine’s economic integration into the world community, in particular the signing of WTO accession agreements and associations with EU countries, are highlighted. As a result of improving methodological approaches to determining the effectiveness of foreign economic activity in the agricultural sector as a result of changes in the institutional environment, proportional changes were established between the indicators of export and intra-economic activity of agricultural enterprises. The positive impact of creating a free trade zone with the EU countries is substantiated, which will encourage domestic agricultural enterprises to adhere to EU standards for the safety and hygiene of agricultural products, especially dairy and meat products. Originality. Methodological approaches to the determination of indicators of the effectiveness of foreign economic activity in the agricultural sector as a result of changes in the institutional environment have been improved, which, unlike the existing ones, comprehensively take into account the results of domestic and export activities of agricultural enterprises. Practical value. The results of the study can be used in the marketing activities of agricultural enterprises in order to build export strategies and search for their own niche in the world market.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the agricultural sector of Ukraine and to determine the importance of supply chains for industry efficiency increasing. As a result of the study, the main indicators of the agricultural sector functioning in Ukraine were analyzed. The obtained results make it possible to characterize the burning situation, as well as to develop appropriate proposals for its improvement in the future (taking into account marketing and logistical components). Almost 18% of the able-bodied population of Ukraine were employed in the agriculture sector in 2016. At the same time, the largest share of agricultural enterprises is located in three regions of Ukraine – Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, and Mykolaiv. It is determined that in 2007-2016 there is a steady increase in agricultural production. It is enough to meet the internal needs of the population and export needs. It is proved that the basis of Ukrainian exports is primary agricultural products (wheat, corn, soybeans). Despite the gradual increase in food exports (by 16% from 2010 to 2016), the share of value-added goods in exports remains low. It indicates Ukraine's specialization as a supplier of raw materials on the world market. Besides, it is found that the share of imports for agriculture needs remains high. Mainly mineral fertilizers, agricultural machines, petroleum products are imported. The reason is that the need for these things is not fully met by domestic producers. Accordingly, it is determined that all the above requires the formation of internal supply chains of agricultural enterprises (they allow to establish relations between structural units) as well as external supply chains (they allow to establish partnerships with counterparties in Ukraine and abroad). It is established that in the supply chains’ formation it is necessary to take into account the main problems of the agricultural sector, in particular, the involvement of new producers of agricultural products in export activities; increasing the share of value-added products in exports; coverage of new markets in foreign countries. The solution to these problems is crucial for the country too. Keywords: agriculture, import, export, supply chain, industry.

The economic and political transition brought many challenges for the Hungarian agricultural sector. The break-up of large agricultural holdings had serious negative impacts on food production and on the export of agricultural products. Capital intensive profit-seeking intermediaries dominate the trading of agricultural goods that has injurious effects in terms of downward pressure on production prices and an increase in consumer prices. Cooperatives have a key role in effectively tackling the common challenges that small-scale producers have to face. More vertical integration along the food chain could contribute to providing rural employment and to an increase in living standards in rural areas. This study reviews the development, the specific features and the driving forces of modern cooperatives in Central Europe in general, and in Hungary in particular. The focus is on the integrator role of cooperatives and their future role in our globalised world. JEL Classification: Q10, Q13
