THE INFLUENCE OF FOREIGN TRADE IN THE AGRICULTURAL COMPLEX OF UKRAINE ON THE SECURITY OF FOOD RESOURCES

The article proves that agro-industrial enterprises play a key role in ensuring food security of the state, so the practical significance of the impact of foreign trade on its condition also shifts to the plane of social responsibility and emphasizes the importance of effective regulatory policy. The paper proves the need to combine the existing indicators for assessing the im-pact of foreign trade in the agro-industrial complex on food security in a generalized indicator. This approach will allow to give a coherent assessment of the efficiency of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine, to meet the needs of domestic con-sumption and final demand. It is noted that when substantiating the form of dependence of the generalizing indicator, one should proceed from its economic content: if the volume of own production satisfies domestic use in full, but the consumption fund does not meet the physiological needs of the population, it indicates non-fulfillment of food security ; if the consumption fund fully meets the physiological needs of the average annual population, but low production is not able to provide domesticuse, it indicates a high level of import dependence in agriculture and low food security. I based on the results of the study, a factor model was proposed to assess the supply of food resources to the economy. This indicator was based on the need, first-ly, to meet domestic demand through its own production, and secondly - to provide the population with basic food groups within the recommended volumes. Particular attention in the construction of this model was paid to foreign economic activityand the impact of exports and imports on these indicators. The scientific novelty of this work is the construction of a factor model for determining the impact of foreign trade in the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine on food resources of both domes-tic consumption and final demand based on statistical balances of consumption, which in contrast to existing quantitative assessment and justify scenarios in foreign trade.
