Abstract

The study aims to cluster countries worldwide by business practices in the agrosector to reveal trends and specifics in applying sustainable methods in agrobusiness management. The analysis covers 26 countries from the OECD database as of 2021. The Word and k-means clustering methods are based on General Services Support Estimate indicators from the OECD: share of agricultural knowledge and innovation system, share of inspection and control, share of development and maintenance of infrastructure, share of cost of public stockholding, which has a determining, statistically significant influence on the formation of clusters. The first cluster included three Asian countries; China is the leader (share of agricultural knowledge and innovation system – 6,529.7 million USD, share of inspection and control – 3177.9 million USD, share of development and maintenance of infrastructure – 12,874.7 million USD, share of cost of public stockholding – 14,668.5 million USD). The second cluster comprised six countries, with the USA as the leader (share of agricultural knowledge and innovation system – 2,908.4 million USD, share of inspection and control – 1,298.0 million USD, share of development and maintenance of infrastructure – 2,392.5 million USD). The third cluster has 17 countries, with Canada being singled out (share of inspection and control – 631.8 million USD and share of agricultural knowledge and innovation system – 683.1 million USD). The results indicate the diversity of countries’ approaches to support and develop their agrosector. Advanced Asian countries and the US invest significant resources in innovation, infrastructure development, and quality control, underscoring their commitment to food security, efficiency, and sustainability.

根据农业经营方式对世界各国进行分类

这项研究旨在按农业部门的商业惯例对世界各国进行分类，以揭示在农业企业管理中应用可持续方法的趋势和具体情况。截至 2021 年，该分析涵盖了经合组织数据库中的 26 个国家。Word和k-means聚类方法基于经合组织的一般服务支持估算指标：农业知识和创新系统份额、检查和控制份额、基础设施开发和维护份额、公共持股成本份额，这些指标对聚类的形成具有决定性的统计影响。第一个集群包括三个亚洲国家；中国居首位（农业知识与创新体系份额--65.297 亿美元，检验与控制份额--3.1779 亿美元，基础设施开发与维护份额--128.747 亿美元，公共持股成本份额--146.685 亿美元）。第二组有 6 个国家，以美国为首（农业知识和创新体系份额--29.084 亿美元，检查和控制份额--12.98 亿美元，基础设施开发和维护份额--23.925 亿美元）。第三组有 17 个国家，其中加拿大脱颖而出（检查和控制份额为 6.318 亿美元，农业知识和创新系统份额为 6.831 亿美元）。结果表明，各国支持和发展农业部门的方法多种多样。先进的亚洲国家和美国在创新、基础设施建设和质量控制方面投入了大量资源，凸显了其对粮食安全、效率和可持续性的承诺。
