Eco-oriented agriculture as a development driver of inclusive agribusiness

The article presents a comprehensive examination of the current state of food security in Ukraine in the context of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular focus on SDG 2, which aims to achieve "Zero Hunger" globally. The objective of this article is to evaluate the present situation of food security in Ukraine within the context of sustainable development in the agricultural and food industries. The research methodology entailed a comprehensive examination of pertinent literature on the subject matter, the identification of critical problematic aspects, and an evaluation of the prevailing state of food security in the country. This was achieved through the calculation and assessment of individual food security indicators, including regional food self-sufficiency indices, population consumption indices of the main food types, and global GFSI ratings. The comprehensive nature of the research lends considerable weight to the findings. An analysis of the global economic availability of food was conducted. The fluctuations in price indices for the principal categories of foodstuffs and the shifts in the global food affordability index were examined. A comprehensive analysis was conducted to evaluate Ukraine's global ranking in terms of food security and its intrinsic value. This is an evaluation of the present supply of essential food products to the population of Ukraine. The assessment is conducted on a regional basis, with a comprehensive analysis of each area. The results demonstrated a notable disparity in the capacity to ensure food security across Ukraine's regions. The article identifies the key problematic aspects of the current state of ensuring food security in Ukraine within the context of the elements of the trilemma of sustainable development: economic, social, and environmental. The paper puts forth a conceptual framework for ensuring food security through sustainable development. The core elements of the proposed mechanism are defined as strategic state initiatives for transformative transformations towards further sustainable development of the national economy, social responsibility of agri-food businesses and food consumers, eco-innovations, and socially responsible investments. The potential impact of this mechanism is considerable, offering grounds for optimism regarding the future security and sustainability of the global economy.

The study aimed to highlight the peculiarities of the formation and use of strategies for entering the foreign market by modern business entities, using enterprises in the agrarian sector of the economy as an example. The methods of economic and statistical analysis, including the Wilcoxon statistical method for comparing trends, as well as the scoring method, were used to process the data. The current study identified the peculiarities of the development of the agricultural sector in the European Union countries and Ukraine in particular, focusing on the main challenges and opportunities faced by agricultural enterprises in the context of globalisation. It was found that the development of the agricultural sector depends on access to resources, technological progress and appropriate state support. The importance of introducing innovations and attracting investments to increase the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises was emphasised. The main motives and strategies for their entry into foreign markets were outlined, including: product differentiation strategy, pricing strategy (cost leadership strategy), innovation strategy, expansion into new markets, branding strategy, sustainable development strategy, and localization strategy. The article analysed the agricultural sector of Ukraine and provides an overview of strategies for entering foreign markets of 15 Ukrainian agricultural enterprises, drawing attention to existing problems in infrastructure and logistics. The author substantiated the areas of improvement, including investments in modernization, development of logistics networks and improvement of product quality in accordance with international standards, which will help to increase their competitiveness in the global market. The obtained results emphasise the importance of an integrated approach, including product differentiation, price competition and innovation strategies to ensure the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises in the global market, as well as the need to adapt strategies to the specifics of local markets and sustainable development trends
