Formation of indices and indicators of sustainable development of entrepreneurship in agriculture: theoretical and methodological approaches

The purpose of the article is to reveal the features of theoretical and methodological approaches to the formation of indices and indicators of sustainable development of entrepreneurship in agriculture. Research methods. The research uses dialectical methods of scientific knowledge of the formation of indices and indicators of sustainable development of entrepreneurship in agriculture, primarily analysis and synthesis. Empirical methods of cognition, such as description, measurement and comparison, were also used to characterize the quantitative indicators of indicators of sustainable development of entrepreneurship in agriculture. Statistical index and correlation-regression methods were used for the analysis of sustainable development indices. Research results. In the process of disclosing theoretical and methodological approaches to the formation of indices and indicators of sustainable development of entrepreneurship in agriculture, it is established that in determining indicators and indices of sustainability of entrepreneurship should make maximum use of existing national and sectoral systems for monitoring and assessing the national economy integration with the possibility of their supplementation and full integration. All calculations should be performed by analyzing statistical reporting and summary statistical indicators of entrepreneurship in agriculture. The system of indicators with which to judge the individual aspects of business development should be built by dividing it into groups - environmental, social and economic. All indices should be built on the methods of integrated and aggregate indices, which can be used to comprehensively judge the development of entrepreneurship in agriculture and the country as a whole. Such indicators should be divided into economic-ecological, ecological-social, socio-economic groups and a separate index of sustainable development of entrepreneurship in agriculture. Scientific novelty. The main theoretical and methodological approaches to the formation of indices and indicators of sustainable development of entrepreneurship in agriculture are revealed and the scheme of their construction is proposed and the list of the main indicators of sustainable development of entrepreneurship in agriculture by components is given. Practical significance. The presented theoretical and methodological approaches should be used as a basis for building indices and indicators of sustainable business development. Tabl.: 1. Figs.: 1.
