Scientific bases of the control system improvement of material and monetary resources by agricultural production

Abstract

Gaining gross production in all the sectors of the national economy in short term is constrained by the limited available resource potential, as well material and cash resources. Level of material and cash costs predetermines the competitiveness of products as well in both domestic and foreign markets. In this regard, issue of efficient management system for material resources, especially for agricultural sector, is becoming increasingly vital. It happens due to the fact that aggregate gross production level in this industry should have a positive trend of growth in order to achieve food security and increase export potential of the national economy. At the same time, management of material resources in agriculture has its own peculiarities, and management efficiency is predetermined in particular by the best combination of mineral fertilizers, plant protection products and other resources combined with the production and economic potential of a particular region or agricultural companies. The paper dwells on systematic analysis of material and cash costs in agricultural production, as well as for branches of arable farming and livestock breeding; particular attention is paid to the natural consumption of material resources under the nomenclature as a key factor determining the competitiveness of agricultural products. The main directions for improving the material resources management system for three levels (macro, micro and nano) have been substantiated, specific tools have been developed for implementing these directions, methodological implementation approaches have been proposed for each direction. Algorithm was developed and tested to substantiate the criteria for rational use of material and cash resources and to increase efficiency of agriculture. Factors (sectoral, regional and internal) are proposed having primary impact on the efficient consumption of material resources, taking into account the conditions of location and specialization of crop production. Method for assessing attractiveness of agro-resources supplier in conditions digital economy development has been proposed as an effective tool for managing material resources based on marketing approaches. The above mentioned developments can be used for drawing up regional development programs, business plans of agricultural organizations, for express analysis of suppliers at tenders for procurement of material resources for agriculture.

Procurement Management as a Condition of Increasing the Competitiveness of Agro-Processing Enterprises

“…Procurement management, including both price and non-price components, has the greatest share in the final product, and therefore is the main factor affecting the competitiveness of the enterprise. These conclusions are confirmed by studies of various authors (M. Porter [7], A. Grishin [8], V. Savchenko [5], S. Makrak [9]). Authors studied the concept of procurement in the economic sphere in the works of various authors.…”
