Efficiency of state support for milk production in Ukraine

Abstract

The article is devoted to the evaluation of the effectiveness of state support for milk production in Ukraine. It is proved that in order to overcome the negative trends in the industry and increase the investment attractiveness of dairy farming in the strategic and future perspective, it is necessary to increase the effectiveness of state regulation, increase state support and improve subsidy mechanisms. We believe that the positive impact on ensuring the efficiency of milk production in agricultural enterprises has also been achieved through the introduction of such a tool as subsidies to finance the construction of new farms. We believe that it is necessary to introduce cheaper costs for the modernization of production facilities in agricultural enterprises, construction of innovative processing facilities. It is proved that the low efficiency of state regulation instruments of dairy farming and large amounts of investment, the industry does not attract new producers. In addition, the country has not created appropriate conditions for the transition of OSG from milk production to small businesses and increasing the production capacity of farms, which also does not lead to the emergence of new players in the raw milk market. At the same time, the experts took into account the risk of entering new foreign players. It is established that the main factors of the external environment that affect the effective development of dairy farming are: state support of the industry and innovation, improving the investment climate. Internal factors of effective development of the industry are related to; availability and optimal structure of fixed and current assets; rational selection and placement of staff; rational use of forage lands; improving the breed composition of the herd; development of material and technical base; increasing the rate of renewal of fixed assets; increasing the level of mechanization and automation of technological processes; introduction of innovative technologies of cattle keeping and feeding; compliance with scientific requirements for herd reproduction; integrated diversification; development of the system of planning and forecasting, rationing and cost control; an effective system of employee motivation, a flexible management system and appropriate social security for employees. Key words: state support, agricultural enterprise, dairy cattle breeding, efficiency, population economy.
