Barriers To Growth

India is the world’s second largest producer of food next to China yet only accounts for 1.5% of total worldwide food trade. This indicates vast scope for both investors and exporters. Food processing industry is of enormous significance in this context because of the vital linkages and synergies that it promotes between the two pillars of our economy, industry and agriculture. The industry contributes 32% to the country’s total food market and is ranked fifth in terms of production, consumption, export and expected growth. Having great export advantage, processed food products accounts for 13% of India’s exports. Being an agricultural economy the sector also contributes largely towards rural development of India which is core of our national development. Recognizing the fact, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) is providing several initiatives for these industries. These initiatives have relatively greater scope in Uttarakhand which suffered extensive damage in the 2013 deluge. This paper is an attempt to evaluate critically and analytically the drivers and potential barriers to growth of the sector with special reference to initiatives of NABARD in UIttarakhand state. Special emphasis is made on SWOT analysis and thrust areas for future for achieving greater role of the sector in the national economy.

Objective. The purpose of the article is to compare the levels and mechanisms of food security management in Ukraine and Poland, to identify the main factors influencing the processes of its formation and to determine the directions of increasing the level of Ukraine food security. Methods. The scientific results of the study were obtained using the following methods: theoretical generalization and comparison (for the study of meaningful aspects of the definition of «food security»), analysis and synthesis (for comparative analysis of Ukraine and Poland food security levels), abstract-logical method (for establishing the links between the level of economic development of countries and the levels of their food security and determining the directions of increasing the Ukraine level of food security). Results. On the basis of a comparative analysis of Ukraine and Poland food security levels, a significant gap in Ukraine’s provision of food security has been identified. Thus, with respect to all food security components identified by FAO, except for the «use» of sanitary and safe drinking water, Poland has reached far ahead of Ukraine. It has been found that for the period 2012–2018, the value of the Global Food Security Index for Ukraine decreased by 2.1 due to a decrease in the level of affordability and availability of food, while the Polish side increased its position on GFSI by 2.8 due to the increase in affordability and availability of food in the country. It has been found that the decisive influence on the level of food security in Poland, as well as high ranking in the ranking is carried out by the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the implementation of the Polish Rural Development Program and significant public spending on agriculture. It has been determined that the main directions for improving the level of food security of Ukraine should be: lifting the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land; financing the agri-food sector not only through public spending but also through EU programs; creation and implementation of the National Rural Development Program; full and unconditional implementation of Government programs on EU integration; adaptation to the EU Common Agricultural Policy standards.
