Decision Making for Ensuring Food Security in Ukraine

Abstract

The problem of the food security in Ukraine remains unsolved. People of Ukraine consume food products below the rational rates. People consume lower volumes of animal products than rational rates. The main role in providing the food security of the country belongs to the agro holdings. Share of agricultural products manufacturing by households is falling gradually but despite this it remains rather high: 39.5% of the crop production and 54.2 % of the animal production is being produced by the households. Development of small business requires the government support. Current government program is not able to stimulate the development of the small business in the agriculture. Creating of the public-private partnerships will create conditions for merging the households and their transformation into agricultural cooperatives. This will make it possible to provide employment for the population and to improve the quality of the agricultural products.
