Information on the thesis

The fundamental part of this study stands on detailed investigation of the problems of
small  agricultural  entrepreneurship  development  as  an  open  ecological  socio-economic
system.
It  has  been  hypothesized  and  reasoned  that  the  base  of  state  food  security,  stabile
development of agricultural areas and saving land resources should be in small agricultural
entrepreneurship.  In  the  dissertation  were  given  the  theoretico-methodical  investigation
examples  and  were  applied  principles  of  forming  effective  system  of  regulation  of
development  of  small  agricultural  enterprises  in  a  state  level  in  Ukraine.  Among  this
principles, which should sustainable develop the agricultural sector, are systematic, justice,
responsibility,  social  orientation,  sustainable  land  use,  symmetrical  crop  and  livestock
development, taking into account the specific of zonal agricultural development. The main
organizational  levels  of  ensuring  the development  of  small  agricultural businesses  were
singled  out:  International,  European,  national,  regional  and  local.  Creation  of  public
agricultural institutions were proved to be an important and necessary tool of control over
the activities of public authorities, formulating and offering project decisions, defending
priority issues of small agricultural enterprises and rural areas.
The analysis of state support level of agricultural enterprises with different size of
agricultural areas was done. It has been found, that existing system of state regulation of
small agricultural entrepreneurship is imperfect and isn’t flexible. In order to form new
quality adaptive system of state regulation model, which should be symmetrically to the
existing effectiveness situation of economic activity of small agricultural enterprises, were
done  comprehensive  analysis  of  the  ecological  socio-economic  effectiveness  level  of
management  system  of  management  of  small  farms  of  Ukraine  (based  on  grade).    For
comprehensive  grades  analysis  of  management  effectiveness  of  small  farms  in  Ukraine
were  calculated  average  indicators  of  intense  level,  production  effectiveness,
environmental burden on earth and social focus in the regions.
Based on the average indicators was identified the Indicator of success performance
of  small  farms  by  regions.  Indicator  is  fundamental  for  forming  the  differentiated
distribution system of state costs to support small agricultural enterprises. As a result of
correlation and regression analysis it has been found that the further development of small
agricultural  entrepreneurship  depends  on  agricultural  cooperation.  At  the  same  moment
was agrumented that the creation of new agricultural clusters will lead to minimization of
production  costs,  development  of  new  markets  for  agricultural  products,  processing
facilities,  owning  financial  and  insurance  institutions, improving  the  competitiveness  of
small agricultural enterprises. Also SWOT-analysis, which helped to indicate possibilities
and advantages of small agricultural enterprises was done.
Formation  of  the  adaptive  system  of  regulation  of  small  agricultural  enterprises
development  will  give  opportunities  to  realise  a  potential  possibilities  of  social,
economical  and  ecological  components  of  Ukraine’s  agricultural  sector.  Taking  into
consideration  the    European  experience  of  sustainable  rural  areas  development  and
successful  leading  of  small  agricultural  enterprises,  were  highlited  strategic  goals  of
development:  implementation  of  flexible  system  of  state  support,  stimulating  the
development  of  agricultural  cooperation  via  local  governments,  development  of
agricultural market infrastructure, improving the area of the agricultural business taxation.
Keywords:  development  of  small  agricultural  entrepreneurship,  state  regulation,
mechanism  of  state  regulation,  state  support,  state  agriculture  policy,  sustainable
development of rural areas, small private farms, agricultural servicing cooperatives.
