Methodological and methodical provision of sampling statistical observations of ecological effects from the production of separate kinds of plant growing products

Abstract

The article aims at the urgent issues of statistical accounting of enterprises’ agricultural activity in terms of its ecological effects. The author determines the role of statistical accounting in ecological and economic development of Ukraine. The role consists in methodological and methodical provision when organizing and conducting the statistical observations, which reflect the state and tendencies of the amounts of hazardous substance emissions caused by enterprises’ agricultural activity. For the first time the paper introduces the performance of detailed accounting the polluting substance emissions through sampling observations of agricultural enterprises engaged in the production of plant growing products similar to the observations conducted on the territory of Zhytomyr region. The sampling statistical observations are based on the methodology of the Management on inventorying polluting substance atmospheric emissions «Methodological management on national emission inventory compiling» within the framework of Convention about trans-border pollution of air at big distances of the United Nations European Economic Commission. The use of statistical approach to the ecological process accounting during the production of agricultural products allows to clarify the mechanism of these processes and reveal the factors, which influence their state, to determine the principal directions of dynamics of the ecological effects for the named production. To conduct the analysis and to estimate the ecological consequences of agricultural enterprises’ activity the article proposes the sampling observations based on their correspondence to the international standards, which help reveal the tendencies of agricultural enterprises’ activity taking into account the increase of ecological effects and natural and climatic conditions. The author suggests the steps concerning the improvement of the methodological approaches to the statistical accounting of the ecological effects on the base of using the expanded scope of the statistical data.
