IMPROVING ORGANIZATIONAL AND ECONOMIC MECHANISMS FOR COMPETITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CANNING INDUSTRY
Abstract
The canning industry plays a key role in the agro-industrial complex by ensuring processing and long-term preservation of agricultural products. It converts perishable raw materials such as fruits, vegetables, and meat into products with extended shelf life, supporting food security and supply stability. It also reduces post-harvest losses and ensures year-round availability of nutritious food. Moreover, it increases the added value of agricultural output by enabling domestic processing instead of raw export, thus enhancing competitiveness in both domestic and international markets. The sector supports economic growth, rural employment, and related industries such as packaging, transport, and trade. Its sustainable development depends on effective organizational and economic mechanisms regulating production, management, and marketing processes.
