Abstract:
Agro-food production is a source of the national food security,
the basis for increasing its export potential, meeting domestic demand for
agricultural products and food. The relevance of the subject under study is
that Ukraine is currently developing the European vector of foreign economic
activity. The purpose of this study is to substantiate a set of indicators used
to assess the export potential of agro-food enterprises in the European
integration business partnership both qualitatively and quantitatively. The
authors used general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis), integrated
approach, model of the hierarchy of factors influencing the integration
business environment on the export potential of enterprises. Permissible tariff
quotas for the volume of duty-free exports of crop products, livestock, and
processed goods for Ukraine have been allocated. The volume of concentration
of production of export-oriented agricultural crops in the enterprises of agrofood production of Ukraine was analysed. It was established that the bulk
of agro-food exports are agricultural raw materials, including cereals and
oilseeds, vegetable (sunflower) oil. The study estimated the efficiency of corn
exports on average per agro-food enterprise in Ukraine under the conditions
of currency risks. It was determined that in 2020 the total export costs for
1 tonne amounted to 186.18 USD. Furthermore, it was found that the profit
received as a result of export activity for 1 tonne was 76.90 USD. The authors
identified the parameters of the regression equation and their estimation in
the dependence model of Ukrainian internal prices on export prices for agrofood products on the world market. The gravitational model of the integrated
level of the export potential of Ukrainian agro-food enterprises was proposed
to stimulate foreign trade on the world market and ensure a stable business
partnership with European Union member states
