The article examines the attraction of foreign investment in the Transcarpathian region within the cross-border region. Investment cooperation with the territories bordering the countries of the European Union - Poland, Romania, and Hungary - is analyzed. Slovakia. It is established that the most intensive cooperation is carried out in the Ukrainian-Hungarian cross-border region. In addition to foreign direct investment, Hungary provides both lending assistance and through Egan Ede's Economic Development Program, strengthening economic, cultural, and historical ties with its border areas. Using statistical methods, the inflow of foreign direct investment in the Transcarpathian region is analyzed. It is established that the total volume of foreign direct investment is 243 million US dollars, including from the countries of the European Union 225.3 million US dollars, which is 92.7% of the total. It is determined that the greatest interest among foreign investors by type of economic activity is as follows: industry - 77.3% (total), wholesale and retail trade - 5.2%, then - transport, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, construction, real estate transactions. The share of Hungarian investments in the Transcarpathian region is most significant among neighboring countries. The possibilities of using the experience of Hungary in the administrative-territorial and land reform and the possibility of applying it in territorial communities are considered. It is proposed to create an association of agricultural producers in the united communities with the participation of farmers, private farms, and foreign investors. The methodology and principles of creating the association are laid down. The study identified factors that hinder the process of investing and improving the investment climate in the cross-border region. The most important is the insufficient development of border infrastructure, inadequate institutional support for investment activities, low quality of human capital, the inertia of border business.
The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the functioning of personal peasant farms, the main trends of their development in modern conditions are determined. The development of PPF play an important role for the economy of the state, the socio-cultural development of rural areas, and the life of rural residents. It is these farms that create the foundation for the state's food security, producing more than 40% of agricultural products, supplying a significant share of food products to the population on the domestic market. At the same time, it was investigated that in the Transcarpathian region the role of PPF is increasing due to the peculiarities of the geographical location and relief, natural and climatic conditions, traditions of life and activities of the population, and the like. It has been established that 224.4 thousand PPF operate in the region, which produce more than 90% of agricultural products, and they use land areas in comparison with the worst quality, production activities in them are more labor-intensive and require larger costs. However, the presence of three natural and climatic zones, a favorable climate and other factors create advantages for this particular form of farming in the region. And even despite the fact that now there is a tendency towards a gradual reduction in the number of PPF and their share in agricultural production, in the future they will continue to play an important role both in the region and in Ukraine as a whole, the issue of improving their material and technical support is actualizing, increase in investment volumes and development of their investment potential. Particular attention is paid to considering the prospects for further research, taking into account the processes of decentralization of authority.
