The main goal of this study was to provide a critical analysis of the oil and fat sub-complex for deep walnut processing, to determine and compare the profitability of enterprises’ activities under different business models for implementation in the agro-food value chain. The latter was considered as an important factor for the development of the domestic market of walnuts and export opportunities. Business modeling of the enterprise activity in the oil and fat sub-complex for deep walnut processing was carried out. The stages of production and marketing activities of the enterprise from the garden planting or the purchase of the processed raw materials to the sale of the processed raw materials and products obtained from walnut processing depending on the chosen business model were considered. A comparative analysis of profitability of the enterprise activity and absolute values of income and profitability indicators under various business models of the enterprise activity were shown. The most cost-effective business-model entailed the combination of walnut production and its processing, which will provide profitability of up to 4640.32% in the 20th year of the project implementation. The results of the given study are intended for the agricultural enterprises of central region of Ukraine.
The current stage of development of the rural economy of Ukraine is characterized by processes of globalization and European integration, which is explained by the increased competition in the global and domestic markets for agricultural and food products, the liberalization of foreign economic activity, and the creation of transnational corporations. Global trends are objectively logical and require finding adequate tools for adaptation in the country's internal economic environment. Such conditions require a rethinking of the nature and objectives of the rural development policy, since the functioning of the rural economy in the context of globalization and European integration is characterized by significant systemic features and structural changes. The rural economy is often identified with the agrarian economy and, accordingly, is considered synonymous with the definition of "rural economy" and "agrarian economy." This identification leads to the adoption of erroneous management decisions that have negative consequences for both rural areas and the country as a whole. The main reason for the identification of the concept of "rural economy" with the concept of "agrarian economy" is the identification of the village with agriculture. The interpretation of the rural economy as an agrarian economy can be explained by the long predominance of agriculture in the structure of activities in rural areas. The development of agriculture ensured rural development.The rural economy characteristic is the interrelation of the conditions of production and its results and is formed as a single economic mechanism with interdependent internal processes and phenomena. Historical and cultural traditions, the geographical location of the countryside, the remoteness of the rural area from the border, and its role in the international division of labor have a significant impact on the characteristics of the rural economy. The border status of rural areas can be considered as a favorable condition for the development of rural areas. At the same time, economic and production, socio-cultural ties also create a number of threats, in the long-term perspective, in the absence of a regulated influence from the state, can lead to negative consequences.In modern conditions, the rural economy is an open dynamic socio-economic system that undergoes constant changes under the influence of exogenous and endogenous factors, the result of which is the achieved level of development of rural territories, the functioning of which aims at not only ensuring the development of rural territories, but also fair distribution of results among all the subjects of rural areas and is aimed at ensuring favorable living conditions and livelihoods rural population.
DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL AREAS IN CONDITIONS OF DECENTRALIZATIONУ статті розглянуто соціально-економічні аспекти розвитку сільських територій в умовах децентралізації управління, особливості організації життєдіяльності сільських територій та формування потенціалу для розвитку. Обґрунтовано необхідність активізації діяльності у напрямі децентралізації влади та впровадження сучасних принципів економічного реформування сільських територій. Підтверджено, що процес децентралізації влади є складним процесом із значною кількістю суперечностей, пов'язаних із пошуком найкращої форми організації місцевого самоврядування, а дефініція «децентралізація» є багатоаспектною та розглядається по різному. Виокремлено завдання децентралізації системи управління та їх охарактеризовано. Ідентифіковано ризики та загрози процесу децентралізації управління й обґрунтовано ймовірність впливу на рівень соціально-економічного розвитку сільських територій. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що для підвищення ефективності політики децентралізації необхідним є формування цілісного бачення відповідних заходів, чітких критеріїв їх оцінювання та прогнозування їх впливу на соціально-економічний розвиток сільських територій. З'ясовано, що громадам не вистачає як бюджетів коштів, так і власних ресурсів для реалізації проектів розвитку. Така тенденція пов'язана із існування упродовж тривалого часу дотаційного характеру діяльності більшості сільських рад. Вирішення цієї проблеми полягає у залученні додаткових небюджетних джерел. Обґрунтовано, що за таких умов зростає значимість діяльності, яка пов'язана із залученням, акумуляцією й мобілізацією наявних і вільних ресурсів у громаді та суспільстві, реалізацією операцій, що супроводжують ці процеси з метою їх подальшого розміщення у значимих неприбуткових проектах.The article considers the socio-economic aspects of rural development in terms of decentralization of management, features of the organization of rural life and the formation of potential for development. The necessity of intensification of activity in the direction of decentralization of power and introduction of modern principles of economic reform of rural areas is substantiated.It is proved that a significant transformational aspect that determines the directions of socioeconomic development of rural areas is the decentralization of the management system. It has been confirmed that the process of decentralization of power is a complex process with a significant number of contradictions related to the search for the best form of local government, and the definition of "decentralization" is multifaceted and considered differently. It is proved that the existing idea of decentralization as a process that ensures the formation of independent units of local self-government (communities) is not entirely correct and requires analysis of its content. The foundations laid by the regulatory framework for the reorganization of the economic mechanism of territorial governance in the context of territorial reform and decentralization of power have legally ensured th...
