Institutional Environment of Inclusive Development of Agroholdings

Abstract

Launched in 2015, the reform of decentralization of power and governance has led to the formation of amalgamated territorial hromadas (ATHs) and establishing the new districts as relevant parts of the administrative-territorial structure of the country. Further success in the development of these socio-spatial formations of the agglomeration type will depend on their economic capacity and self-sufficiency. The solution of this important social task is largely derived from the efficiency of economic entities and their social responsibility to expand the productive employment of the economically active population, access of all its strata to the created public goods. Large agri-food holding companies should play a key role in this process. In view of this, the purpose of research is defined, which is to substantiate the fundamental role of the institutional environment in the inclusive development of agricultural holdings. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the following tasks are formulated: to determine the essence of the concept of institutional environment as a system and analyze its current state; to reveal the content of an integrated approach to the formation of an environment for inclusive development of agricultural holdings; identify the potential for inclusive development of agricultural holdings. To achieve the goal and objectives of the study, the authors used interdisciplinary methodology, namely – systemic, synergistic, institutional, political, economic, social approaches, methods of synthesis and analysis, deduction and induction, SWOT-analysis, comparison, analogies, statistical and sociological researches. The information base of the study consisted of scientific achievements of domestic and foreign scientists, data from the State statistics, materials from the Internet, the authors’ own observations. The scientific novelty of the study is to substantiate the concept of "institutional environment system" as a platform for inclusive development of agricultural holdings. The scientific provisions, conclusions and recommendations arising from the study can be used by businesses, ATHs, districts in the formation of welfare inclusion.
