ANNOTATION

The article supplies analysis of the main trends of the agrarian sector development in Lviv region. The work identifies principal problems of the agricultural enterprises performance in conditions of economic uncertainty. It is noted that sustainable development of the agrarian sector of each region is determined by the factors, such as strengthening of the economic independence of the region and creation of favorable conditions for its social and economic development. The author analyzes agricultural production and notes that the current conditions of animal breeding in the studied region do not reflect its potential capacity. The research confirms deterioration of the balance between development of the branches of crop production and animal breeding: at agricultural enterprises, the correlation is 76% to 24%, whilst at the private households of population, it is 67.1% to 32.9% respectively. It is found out that agricultural enterprises are specialized in growing highly profitable crops (soy beans, sunflower, rape, cereals) and breeding poultry and pigs. Private households of population are mostly focused on growing more labor-intensive products of crop production and animal-breeding (potato, vegetables and berries, cattle products). It is confirmed that in conditions of the economic and political uncertainty, large agricultural enterprises have appeared to be more vulnerable, whilst private households of population are more stable. The author substantiates approaches to formation of the state policy concerning the agrarian sector development in the modern conditions. It is proven that the volume of the state support for agricultural producers is insufficient for restructuration of agricultural production according to the principles of sustainability. The work outlines the priority directions for stabilization of the agrarian sector development in Lviv region in the current conditions and the ability to support its competitive advantages in the future.
