Priorities of state support for grain production development in Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: The conditions and trends of grain production development in Ukraine determine a degree of food and ecological safety, employment and well-being of the population, as well as the opportunities for the country’s export potential increasing. The state regulation of the grain market and support provided to grain producers have a significant influence on quantitative and qualitative indicators of grain production in Ukraine. The priority areas, scope and problems of such support have been identified in the article. The establishment of the privileged taxation regime to support agricultural producers has affected the grain producers’ financial performance most positively, whereas the system of price regulation has appeared to be the most ineffective in the grain market of Ukraine. Effects from financial and credit support, provision of subsidies and governmental grants for producing and purchasing of resources, specialized support of selected directions and programs have been devaluated because of the lack of information and opaque mechanisms of the potential support recipients selection, insystemacity of its realization and insufficiency of state financing. In the present conditions Ukraine should orient at the Common Agrarian Policy of the EU which is aimed at realization, first of all, the objective of rural areas constant development. Following that, the state support of the grain producers in Ukraine should gradually be redirected with the aim of increasing the competitiveness of grain producers taking into account the ecological requirements. The amount of state support should depend on the number of created workplaces, productivity and resource use.
