Innovation and investment support for the development of agriculture in Ukraine

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the need and the main directions of innovative and investment development of agricultural production in Ukraine. Research methods. Methods used: dialectical knowledge of processes and phenomena; monographic (analysis of the development and provision of agriculture with investments) empirical (based on a comprehensive assessment of the current state of the research object); comparative analysis (identified the problems and goals of investment and material and technical support in Ukraine); abstract-logical (generalization and formulation of conclusions). Research results. The main existing trends of innovation and investment provision of the material and technical base of agricultural enterprises are investigated. It was emphasized that increasing the efficiency of agricultural enterprises is impossible without attracting innovations and investments. Increasing the equipment of agriculture with basic production facilities to an economically justified level, improving their species composition and structure will allow updating and modernizing the material and technical base of agricultural enterprises, taking into account the achievements of scientific and technological progress. The solution of important tasks for the further intensification of production will contribute to the introduction of advanced technologies and equipment in the crop and livestock industries, as well as to increase labor productivity. The importance of the formation of the material and technical base of agricultural enterprises in the theoretical and practical sense is revealed and substantiated. Scientific novelty. The theoretical provisions on innovation and investment development in agriculture were further developed, which are based on the modernization of the material and technical base of agricultural enterprises, taking into account scientific achievements, accelerating the solution of important tasks to further increase the capital intensity of production, which will contribute to the introduction of advanced technologies, and increase labor productivity. Practical significance. Calculations have been carried out to determine the normative need for investment support for agricultural production. Proposals have been developed to increase the actual capitalization of agricultural enterprises, which will allow, in particular, to attract additional credit and investment resources. Tabl.: 2.
