The article provides foreign and domestic scientists’ approaches to the interpretation and definition of the concept of "regional competitiveness" as an economic phenomenon. The main criteria of given category are highlighted. Two main approaches to the interpretation of the regional competitiveness as a category are analyzed. It is proved that the regional competitiveness is not simply an interpretation of either macroeconomic or microeconomic competitiveness. That means the regions can’t be analyzed neither as a simple set of companies nor as a simplified model of the national economy. The region's competitiveness is presented as a dynamic phenomenon that constantly varies under the influence of various factors and requires continuous monitoring. It is substantiated that in the long term, the competitive advantages of the region should be formed and created by the use of knowledge, increased productivity of intellectual work, the ability to innovate and generate new ideas.

The article deals with the regional priorities of the forest industry potential formation. The forest industry of the region is an important component of the regional economic potential formation, which ensures of the assimilation potential of individual territories formation and the expanded reproduction of the forest resource base. Regional priorities of potential formation should take place on the basis of a comparative assessment of individual regions forestry potential, since the forest sector is characterized by uneven location of the forest resourses due to the natural and climatic factors and to the factors of socio-economic development of individual regions. The dynamics of wood production volumes shows a long-term growth trend, with two recessions in the period from 2007 to 2009, and in 2017, as compared to the previous year. The area of felling, fluctuating from 358 thousand hectares to 419 thousand hectares in the last 9 years. The application of methods of economic-mathematical modeling using data from 1997 to 2017 allows us to obtain an adequate regression line (R2 = 0.9061), which is described by a quadratic model, and gives all grounds to predict an increase in the wood logging index in 2018 to 23,684 thousand m3. The increase in indicstors of deforestation area and wood logging in Ukraine during the last period requires revision of forestry policy based on a retrospective analysis of industry trends and the assessment of regional forestry potential in order to restore the resource base. The comparative estimation of forest resources potential of Ukraine’s regions on the basis of taxonomic level development indicator of region’s forestry potential (TLD) allows to divide regions on 3 groups: 1. Regions with high level of forest resource potential (ТLD 0,98 – 0,46): Zhytomyr, Rivne, Volyn, Kyiv, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernigiv and Zakarpattia regions; 2. Regions with an average level of forest resource potential (TLD 0.43 – 0.29): Sumy, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytsky, Chernivtsi, Cherkasy, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kirovograd regions; 3. Regions with low level of forest resource potential (ТРР 0,26 – 0,06): Odesa, Ternopil, Mykolayiv, Kherson, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya, Lugansk regions.

The problem of waste accumulation was considered from the standpoint of historicism, in particular, against the background of increasing urbanization level, starting with preindustrial civilizations. Significant attention was paid to the consideration of waste from the legal point of view. It is emphasized that the waste management in the leading European countries is based on the thorough legislation in this area, a wide range of mechanisms and instruments that were formed and selected evolutionally. The basic approaches to the essence of waste in the economic environment were determined. The position of waste as pollution is emphasized, as well as the fact that fundamental role of the natural environment in the provision of such a service as waste absorption is neglected in payments for them. Waste in a social context is considered. We are convinced that quite different views over the essence of waste – economic, environmental, and social – require careful consideration, since they represent different ways of practice, in the context of which the waste management approaches are implemented.

The article deals with the current state of the poultry industry in Ukraine. The article considers the total amount of poultry waste generation, and the main ways of dealing with them. According to statistical data, the total volumes of poultry production production are analyzed in the context of administrative regions of Ukraine. The character of the distribution of accumulation of poultry waste volumes in the regions of Ukraine is investigated. In the initial processing of statistical data, it was assumed that this distribution is subject to a logarithmically normal law. The assumption is made about further increase of bird droppings accumulation. The main ways of dealing with poultry waste in Ukraine are considered and grouped. The economic levers of stimulating the introduction of these methods are proposed on the basis of the phenomenon under study. For poultry farms with small and medium volumes of waste generation, it is proposed to use technology for the processing of litter into organic fertilizers. For companies with large volumes of waste generation, taking into account their financial feasibility for implementation, technology is proposed for obtaining electric and heat energy using biogas.
