Trends of the development of the meat processing industry of Ukraine and practical approaches to the optimization the recipe of sausage products

Abstract

Today, Ukraine is forced to perform a complex geopolitical task in order to guarantee not only military, but also food security. Therefore, the issue of increasing the efficiency of the meat processing industry, as one of the components of this task, is significant and relevant. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the economic aspects of increasing the efficiency of the functioning of meat processing enterprises of Ukraine as a result of improving the recipe of sausage products in order to reduce their cost price. The research was conducted using general scientific methods and techniques: logical and qualitative analysis and synthesis, monographic method, system-structural analysis method, cause-and-effect analysis method, experimental method, economic-statistical method, calculation-constructive method and method of logical generalization. The results of the research in the form of practical recommendations for reducing the cost of sausage products as a result of changing the cost norms and improving the product formulation can increase the economic efficiency of meat production. In order to reduce the cost of meat products, the recipe of products has been changed due to the rejection of expensive ingredients. The scientific novelty of the research results lies in the development of practical approaches to the study and analysis of dynamic processes in the meat processing industry based on the policy of stimulating demand for competitive products both in the Ukrainian and foreign markets. The article highlights the problems of the current state of the meat industry in Ukraine, the prerequisites and the main causes of this situation. The article deepens practical approaches to improving the recipe of sausage products, evaluates their updated recipe in order to reduce the cost of production and increase its efficiency, which lays the foundation for future research for other types of products
