“…When studying the development of agriculture and its impact on the foreign economic security of Ukraine, scientists suggested using economical and statistical as well as economical and mathematical methods, such as trend analysis (Choi et al, 2019), variation analysis (Ma et al, 2021), cluster analysis (Betáková et al, 2018;Bogiday, 2019), regression analysis (Karkacier et al, 2006), factor analysis (Weissenburger-Moser et al, 2017;Laurett et al, 2021) and time series analysis (Sathya & Karthiban, 2021). The specified methods allow us to demonstrate cause-and-effect relationships between the level of foreign economic security and indicators describing the functioning of the agricultural sector.…”

Purpose: Unsolved pre-war problems of agricultural production are additionally burdened by ongoing military operations, which have caused inevitable changes in domestic and foreign markets. Identifying and eliminating threats to the development of the agricultural sector will increase the efficiency of agricultural production, which will increase the level of foreign economic security of the country and, at the same time, strengthen global food security. Design / Method / Approach: Based on the data of domestic and international statistical services and organizations, we used economic and statistical methods (regression, trend analysis) and graphically presented the obtained results. Findings: A critically low share of imports negatively affects foreign economic security and pricing in the domestic market. The products export of plant-origin and low-value metals, as opposed to the high-tech products import, is critical. The condition with the provision of fish and fish products, fruits, berries and grapes, eggs, vegetables, and melon food crops is unstable. It depends either on conditions in foreign markets or only on domestic factors. The geographical structure of foreign trade is unsatisfactory and threatening due to excessive imports from China. An inverse correlation between the export volume of Ukrainian agricultural products and the world level of food prices has been established. Theoretical Implications: The work confirms the importance of the Ukrainian agricultural sector in the context of global food security. Practical Implications: We offer a set of actions, the implementation of which will make it possible to eliminate problems in agricultural production that negatively affect the state of foreign economic security. Originality / Value: Work on a highly specialized topic, which includes the development of agricultural processes against the background of ongoing military operations. Research Limitations / Future Research: In further research, it is advisable to consider the importance of the agricultural sector in the system of economic security of different countries since this article is limited to the methodology of the Ukrainian government.

“…We do not intend to claim that there is no academic or governmental interest in the particular field of this article; however, the general approaches were related to the analysis of regional development and disparities in general (e. g. Korec et al, 2016or Kološta, 2016, competitiveness (e. g. Gavurová et al, 2017), sectoral analysis (e. g. Betáková et al, 2018), foreign direct investment (e. g. Dudáš & Grančay, 2019), employment (e. g. Pauhofová & Stehlíková, 2018) or eventually as a pendant to an analysis of the business environment (e. g. Ministry of Economy, 2019 or Fabuš, 2018). However, most of these indicatively selected, as well as many other papers, do not go below the NUTS levels 2 or 3 (larger regions and selfgoverning regions, respectively).…”

Research background: The literature overview shows a blank space regarding the effects of ownership on the determination of enterprises' spatial distribution. Various papers identify differences between determinants of the spatial distribution of foreign direct investments, exporters in foreign ownership, and domestically owned exporters; however, they mostly agree on the role of big cities, economic centres, and state of infrastructure as well as historical patterns. Purpose of the article: The article focuses on the spatial distribution analysis of enterprise units from their owner's perspective on the empirical evidence from all 79 districts of the Slovak Republic. Special attention is given to the category of the least developed districts. Methods: Within the presented article, the authors investigate the characteristics of the regional spatial distribution of business entities concerning standard ownership categories using the cluster analysis. The presented approach is twofold: firstly, the authors investigate the share of individual ownership types on the district level, and secondly, the number of enterprises by ownership categories is adjusted to 100,000 inhabitants. Cluster analysis and methods of spatial statistics are applied in both approaches. Findings & value added: The main results show a relation between the district's inclusion into the group of the least developed districts and enterprise ownership characteristics in these districts mainly through the relative underrepresentation of the secluded inland, foreign and international types of ownership, as well as their geographical clustering. The results of the presented research can be used in policy-making targeting business activity in underdeveloped districts. At the same time, the results provide basis for limited theoretical generalisations based on a single-country case study with regard to principles of business ownership structures development.

The article has been devoted to the agrarian sector development's problems in the world. Agricultural production trends have been identified. The idea of the research has been to apply a cluster analysis technique for identifying these trends. It has been confirmed regularity that the share of agriculture added value has been higher in the poorest countries. It has been proved that in countries with a dominant agrarian trend aggregate economic development indicators have been lower than in industrialized countries. Cluster analysis has been carried out for determining the agrarian sphere impact on the countries' globalization development level. Hierarchical clusterization's dendrogram of the leading countries according to the integral globalization development index and the value added of agriculture per person has been constructed. In particular, European countries have been grouped using the cluster analysis methodology based on aggregate indicators of development, including the share of agriculture in GDP, nominal GDP and GDP per parity of purchasing power (PPP) per capita, country's territory, population.
