Methodology for classification and typology development of regions with a view to promoting export of agricultural products

Abstract

The work is aimed at the development of methodological support for regions’ typology development in order to group them according to the essential features and calculate the integral indicator. The unique technique is suggested by the authors which includes five stages, all of them supplementing each other. Properly developed typology of regions helps to define the group which the region belongs to, and, on the basis of this, to develop measures to improve the efficiency of agricultural enterprises’ activity in this area and expand the economic potential of export operations, taking into account the clear justification. The specific indicators for ranking regions by groups are determined by the authors in the article. The significance of this methodology development is justified within the framework of implementation of state support for the export of agro-industrial products.
