Abstract:
The subject of the study is the theoretical and
practical aspects of the implementation and evaluation of social
responsibility of agrarian enterprises. The purpose of the work
is to identify, assess and analyze the level and effectiveness of
social responsibility of agrarian enterprises and justify the
directions, sources, means of increasing its volumes and
distribution. Methodological bases of the article are general
scientific, and special methods of scientific knowledge. Methods
used: dialectical, monographic, historical, system and
structural analysis and synthesis, problem and program-target
approaches, statistical and economic, economic and
mathematical, surveys. The article reveals features of social
responsibility of domestic agrarian enterprises in terms of
content, structure and dynamics. An assessment and analysis
of its level, causes and risks of mass distribution have been
made. Proved suggestions on its growth and efficiency increase.
At the same time, we are talking not only about large, but also
small and medium-sized agribusiness enterprises. For the first
time, it was determined that large agribusiness should support
small businesses in the context of social responsibility (through
commodity lending, guaranteed sales of products, etc.) in order
to form a middle class in rural areas and ensure social stability
and progress. Conclusions and results of the article can be used
in the educational-scientific process of the economic faculties of
higher educational institutions. It is expedient to transfer them
for practical use to agrarian enterprises, public organizations,
rural communities. In the course of the research carried out,
significant polarization was found in the effectiveness of
development and social responsibility of large and small
subjects of agrosphere management, which requires urgent
solution to this problem. Indeed, small agricultural formations
are understood not only as commodity producers, but they are
the basis for the formation of the middle class in the
countryside, promote employment and increase the well-being
of the population. Therefore, large agribusiness should carry
out social responsibility, supporting them, in particular, in the
form of commodity lending, sale of finished goods, use of production capacities, development of cooperative and integration processes, and the introduction of innovations.
