“…The literature converges towards the fact that the preparations of cereals deliver more competitiveness than the raw materials-cereals. This is grounded in the fact that exporting processed agri-food products implies many activities carried out to add more value to the final commercialized product [108,[123][124][125]. By taking this value chain assessment framework into consideration, relevant indicators were included in the index composition.…”

Competitiveness has always been a multifaceted illusive concept, which has made it a real challenge for scholars and practitioners to find the most suitable measurement tools to completely encapsulate all the complex nuances of competitiveness. This becomes even more of a challenge when approached in relation to particular economic sectors. The agri-food sector is no exception, especially when considering all its interconnections with the other sectors: water, energy, transport, waste. All of them impact the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Similarly, scholars have been debating the meaning of sustainability for decades, some even arguing that it is a political, subjective, and, in some cases, self-contradictory concept. As far as the sustainability of agricultural competitiveness is concerned, the literature is still developing. It is much more focused on fostering environmental competitiveness, and less attention was paid to the strategies designed to capitalize on sustainable economic competitiveness—a concept that has attracted divergent opinions in the literature, mainly due to ambiguity. Thus, instead of falling into the pitfall of vagueness, this paper was aimed at bringing its contribution to this field by undertaking the research objective of exploring a single facet of sustainable agricultural competitiveness: the economic facet. Hence, this paper proposes the construction of the sustainable economic competitiveness index (SECI) with direct application for agri-food value chains. It consists of three attributes: (a) factor endowments, resource independence; (b) agricultural chain performance; and (c) national agricultural chain strategies and policies. In this study, SECI was tested against the cereal chain for a selection of EU countries, based on the data taken over from FAOSTAT and INTRACEN Trade Map, in the case of the 2011–2020 period. Various statistical and econometric methods were used to test the robustness of SECI. Results stand as proof that building sustainable agricultural economic competitiveness relies on a mix of strategic actions. The key vector in this mix is that trade flow patterns and policies must be calibrated in accordance with national factor endowments in order to achieve high levels of SECI. To add more managerial implications, this paper argues for the smart delivery of agri-food products with high added value instead of focusing on exporting big volumes of raw agricultural materials with little added value.

The article highlights the mechanism of formation of costs and cost of production in agricultural enterprises, which is one of the main issues in the implementation of economic activities in the conditions of digitalization. Cost as an economic category is the sum of all costs of the enterprise for the production and sale of products. Factors affecting the amount of costs and production costs are given. The influence of the application of digital technologies on the prospects of production of products by the branches of the agricultural enterprise, directions of use of individual elements of technologies, consumers of innovative solutions and proposals is analyzed. Examples of the participation of digitized and robotic equipment in the implementation of work in plant and animal husbandry are given. The advantages of using innovative technologies are considered. Identification of cost-forming factors that affect the volume and dynamics of enterprise costs: access to innovative technologies was carried out. Technological ones include: the use of advanced technologies can increase efficiency and reduce costs. However, access to such technologies may require investment. Among the organizational ones, the most significant is the degree of vertical integration: Own control over suppliers and sales markets can affect the costs and efficiency of the supply chain. Since agricultural production has a huge volume of operations that must be taken into account and recorded, there is a need for additional costs for the purchase of equipment, the organization of high-quality Internet communication not only in stationary premises (farms, warehouses, etc.), but also in the fields (sometimes for dozens kilometers from the servers). Funds are also needed for the training of specialists and employees, maintenance of technologies and equipment, salary increases, etc.

The article examines the trends and identifies the problems that hinder the effective operation of the enterprise, substantiates the need to develop new organizational-economic marketing-oriented forms of increasing the efficiency of their functioning, taking into account the conditions of market relations. The periodization of the development of marketing relations of domestic enterprises has been carried out, due to which the necessity of introducing a marketing mechanism for managing their activities, based on its sequential development as an integral system with a discrete state, represented by research, production, communication, sales and controlling subsystems, is argued. A prognostic-transformational model of the enterprise’s marketing mechanism was built, which takes into account the probabilistic nature of the impact of marketing processes on the economic state of the enterprise and a large list of factors influencing the enterprise’s marketing environment. The application of a complex approach to the evaluation of the effectiveness of the marketing mechanism of managing the company’s activities makes it possible to determine the effectiveness of its subordinate subsystems. The expediency of implementing a functional-regional organizational structure for managing the activities of enterprises is substantiated, based on the peculiarities of the placement of productive forces and the principles of their management. A scheme for making constructive management decisions has been developed according to a complex multivariate logistic model, which takes into account the degree of development, experience and financial stability of enterprises, as well as the most modern principles of production organization. For the stable functioning of enterprises in a hierarchical market environment, a transition to the concept of creating their positive image in a hierarchical market environment is proposed.
