The place of the state regulatory system of the agricultural sector in ensuring sustainable development

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the characteristic features of the system of state regulation of the agrarian sector and determining its place in ensuring sustainable development. Based on the analysis, it was established that the current system of state regulation of the agricultural sector in Ukraine includes a number of subjects that have influence based on their authority (public authorities of various levels), as well as those that influence indirectly (the public sector). These subjects directly or indirectly affect the agricultural sector of the economy through a number of means of influence (organizational, financial and economic, normative and legal and advisory or scientific and methodological). It was determined that among the priority goals of state regulation should be, first of all, the promotion of the gradual comprehensive growth of the country's economy, productive employment, which covers the largest possible number of working population, as well as decent working conditions for all. It is noted that the sustainable development of the agricultural sector in today's conditions is impossible without guaranteeing environmental safety, which is considered one of the key components of national security. In order to ensure a stable ecological situation in agro-industrial production, it is important to create, implement, and most importantly - finance targeted programs aimed at this at the state and regional levels. It has been proven that one of the key components of a modern effective system of state regulation of the agrarian sector is support for digital transformation in the agrarian sector. Digitization involves the use of technologies that include the application of advanced achievements in combination with the Internet for the global restructuring of agriculture. It was concluded that one of the directions for the fulfillment of these tasks can be the support of the clustering of the agricultural sector. The government's cluster approach to the sustainable development of the agricultural sector makes it possible to maintain a positive synergistic effect and reduce the impact of negative factors even with minimal state funding. It promotes inter-branch interaction, coordination of economic interests of subjects of agricultural production.
