Formation of the model of state support for Ukrainian agrarian sector in the market economy: change of the approach

Abstract

The study’s main purpose is to investigate the basic principles of forming the model of state support for the Ukrainian agrarian sector in the year 2020. The subject-object method was used to determine the essential understanding of the state support for the agrarian sector in market conditions and identify various characteristics, direct relations, feedback, dependencies, and the tools and mechanisms used to implement the support. The principles of granting and using state support for the agricultural sector, including competence, orientation, honesty, compatibility (adequacy, timeliness), neutrality (impartiality), compromise, pre-investment character, versatility, financial character, maximum benefit, are substantiated. It is proved that Ukraine needs to create a new ideological platform of state support for the agrarian sector, which should be based on strengthening the position of small businesses in the value chain, shifting the focus from agricultural holdings to farmers and private peasant farms that fulfill most of the social functions of the industry.
