Scientific support of the organization of state regulation of seed production development in Ukraine

The purpose of the article. On the basis of an in-depth analysis of the state of seed production in the country and the state of scientific support for the organization of state regulation of seed production in Ukraine to offer scientifically sound proposals for its improvement, using the experience of advanced countries in crop production. To substantiate measures aimed at improving the system of payment of royalties and domestic legislation in the field of crop production, to provide proposals to reduce the dependence of agricultural production on seed imports. Research methods. Methods used: monographic (analysis of the state of scientific support of the organization of state regulation of seed production in the country); statistical (to reflect the state of domestic seed production in quantitative and cost terms through a system of absolute and relative indicators); analysis of time series, structural changes (for analysis and identification of trends in seed production in Ukraine); tabular and graphical (visual display of research results in the form of tables and graphs), comparison (comparison of economic indicators), abstract-logical (generalization and formulation of conclusions). Research results. The current state and prospects of scientific support of the organization of state regulation of seed production development in Ukraine are analyzed. Problems of development of domestic seed production are defined. The experience of leading countries in the field of seed production and the possibility of its use in Ukraine are highlighted. Scientific novelty. The existing information on the organization of state regulation of seed production development in Ukraine is summarized. Proposals have been developed to improve its scientific support. New, scientifically substantiated approaches to improving the system of royalties, regulatory framework and identified ways to reduce the import dependence of seeds are proposed. Practical significance. The proposed ways to overcome the existing problems in the industry will raise it to the level of world powers through a change in approaches to royalty payments, increase the productivity of seed farms and improve the legal acts governing seed production in Ukraine.
