The state and trends of agricultural development in the structure of the national economy of Ukraine

Abstract

In the conditions of active socio-economic changes and reintegration of the economic development of Ukraine, determining the place of agriculture in this process is relevant. Based on this, the purpose of this study is to establish the current state and role of agriculture in the national economy of Ukraine. Various scientific and methodological tools were used to fulfil this purpose. The concepts of “agriculture” and “national economy” were distinguished by the method of analysis and their features were established; connections between these concepts were investigated by the method of synthesis; the dependence of the development of the agrarian sector on the national economy was found by the method of comparison; the method of generalization was used for detailed analysis of results and drawing conclusions. In the conditions of the dynamic development of the national economy, the existing state, and promising vectors of the development of the agricultural sector were found. Priority was given to the approach that lies in the implementation of bio- and nanotechnologies and diverse types of genetic developments. The essence of the structural changes implemented in the national economy was found. It was established that the main structural changes are related to the increase of Ukraine’s investment potential. The priority vectors for the further development of agriculture were investigated. The authors found that such vectors are the introduction of European principles of regulation and organization of the agrarian sector into the Ukrainian environment. The practical value of this study lies in the fact that it can be used as a source in the creation of appropriate plans and programs aimed at the development of the national economy
