Branch positioning of grain products subcomplex in Ukraine’s AIC

Abstract. Modern economic and political challenges require from Ukraine its resource mobilization and fast system changes, and the grain industry has all chances to be the exports locomotive and source of foreign exchange for the country. In addition, grain production forms a system effect, as it is a raw material for many other industries. In the article, factors that actualize grain production prospectivity in Ukraine are defined, and lack of states’ system policy in this area is emphasized, despite its potential.

The evolution of institutional changes in Ukraine led to enterprises’ unclear positioning at the grain market and its processing products in inter-industry links system. Different interpretations of the structural and functional providing of grain production sub-complex of AIC do not create conditions for fundamental theoretical researches. The analysis of the organizational structures activity and inter-farm connections for grain market and its processing products, allowed us to determine the grain production of AIC limits in Ukraine according to modern statistical reporting standards and legislative regulation. It includes a set of functionally dependent agricultural and industrial enterprises that ensure the grain supply formation, its primary machining, storage and processing into flour, cereals, mixed fodder, as well as sales, including exports, through the mediocre participation of relevant infrastructure elements and as a raw materials source for the enterprises of specialized food producing industries. Subsequent system studies should provide a balanced development of all identified components of the sub-complex towards improving quantitative and qualitative indicators of its functioning.
