Resume

Today in Ukraine there is an urgent problem of coexistence and interaction between different types of agricultural enterprises, as well as the possibility to estimate the results of their financial and economic activity in the context of realization of production-financial potential and socio-economic functions in the state economy. During some recent years such relatively new form of entrepreneurship as agro holdings has taken a prominent and leading position not only in the agro-industrial complex, but also in the economic system of Ukraine. In particular, agro holdings ensure the strengthening of Ukrainian export position, especially in the field of plant growing, and their share in GDP is also significant. The purpose of the article is to highlight the peculiarities of the functioning and estimate the results of financial and economic activity of agro holdings in Ukraine. In today’s conditions of functioning of the national economy, achievements and stable growth of profitability are becoming the determining parameters in estimation of the effectiveness of financial and economic activity and the potential of enterprises in implementing the function of social responsibility. Because the profitability is a key factor in the progress and ability of an enterprise to make a significant influence on the socio-economic environment, in-depth analysis will help identify existing or hidden reserves and capacities, as well as large integrated agribusiness forms – agro holdings will be perceived by the society adequately. The evaluation of the results of financial and economic activity was carried out for three agro holdings (Kernel, Myronivsky Hliboprodukt and Astarta-Kyiv), which occupy strong positions in the industry and are characterized by publicity of information about their financial and economic activity. Farming consolidation process in the agrarian sector of the national economy is its natural reaction to the processes of globalization and internationalization of business in the world. As a result, there are many agro holdings in Ukraine. The activity of agro holding structures in Ukraine is characterized by a significant number of advantages for the agrarian market and the economy. This integrated form of agribusiness has also certain internal deficiencies and creates some threats for the agrarian market. We think that agro holdings are significantly ahead of the traditional forms of organization of business structures and are potentially more capable of influencing the socio-economic development of the state and its regions. This is confirmed by results of our research.

Keywords:
