THEORETICAL BASICS OF THE MATERIAL AND TECHNICAL SUPPLY OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES

Abstract

The article provides theoretical generalizations of the features of material and technical support of agricultural enterprises. The views of scientists on this economic category were considered, it was established that it would be appropriate to consider the process of material and technical support as dependent on the economic relations between its participants. The economic essence of material and technical support requires the presence of the following three most important conditions: social division of labor; production of consumption values not only for oneself, but also for others; ensuring the equivalence of the values of goods in the process of exchange. With regard to agricultural production, its material and technical support is an exchange of agricultural and industrial products determined by the division of labor with the aim of meeting the technological demand for industrially manufactured goods, obtaining profit and solving social problems. Effective management of these resources is important to ensure the successful operation of enterprises. It has been proven that ensuring the optimal level of technical potential and effective organization of its use are critical for ensuring the increase in the production of agricultural products. It has been established that the effective development of agricultural enterprises in modern conditions is determined not only by the level of its technical support, namely: the number of means, their quality, productivity, compliance with global requirements for the economic characteristics of the environment and safety, but also by the technological perfection of production, i.e., how agricultural machinery allows timely and qualitatively meet the biological requirements of plants and animals. According to the parameters of the mechanization of agricultural work, the domestic agro-industrial complex is still significantly inferior to Western European countries. A number of measures have been identified that will help to improve the technical support of agricultural producers, which in turn will contribute to increasing the productivity and quality of agricultural production, as well as have a positive effect on Ukraine's food security
