DEVELOPMENT OF FARMS AND THEIR ROLE IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION OF REGION

What is it about?

The article analyzes the land fund of Khmelnitsky region, the dynamics of the production of agricultural economic output by types of farms, as well as a comparison with the size of the area of the farm with farmer households in other countries. Also, conditions were analyzed and opportunities that improve the competitiveness of farms. The paper reveals the modern challenges and opportunities for agricultural production in the Khmelnitsky region. The central object of research is the farm, as one of the key elements of sustainable development of the region in the context of the development of rural areas and communities. Also, the relationship was analyzed between farm size and competitiveness, as well as given the factors that would improve the competitiveness of farm data. From our research shows that the development of agriculture as a whole Khmelnitsky region still has potential, but only if increasing the number of farms and small and medium enterprises. With the consolidation of enterprises Khmelnytsky region could lose by charging taxes and the budget will face a global problem of unemployment in rural areas as farmers keep themselves and their families, family. In addition, the farmer will develop its rural areas and local communities.

Why is it important?

The study of the state and problems of the development of private households in Khmelnytsky region shows that there is a great potential for the development of private households in this region, which is mainly based on peasants; to increase the number of private households and increase their competitiveness, it is necessary to provide state support for the development of this type of farms. We believe that to solve these problems, the following issues need to be addressed: 1) obtaining low-interest loans; 2) develop and implement a crop insurance program at the regional level; 3) to allow farms and their associations to participate in district and regional tender programs; 4) to ensure the establishment and operation of a consulting center for farmers at the Khmelnytsky Regional State Administration; 5) hold roundtables, seminars, and conferences in a trilateral format with representatives of farmers, government, and academia. Along with the development of their own agribusiness, most farmers will develop their rural areas and territorial communities, partially solving the problem of unemployment, as farmers support themselves and their families. Otherwise, there will be consolidation of enterprises, as a result of which Khmelnytsky region may suffer certain losses of tax revenues and face an even greater problem of rural unemployment.
