Resume

Nowadays the scientists and experts in agricultural business continue discussions about the agricultural holdings’ influence on the development of the territory they operate at, agrarian sector and economy in general. Indeed, activity of agricultural holdings in Ukraine is characterized both by significant number of advantages and by certain peculiar threats, and is accompanied by the range of internal flaws of this integrated agricultural business form. From this viewpoint, it is important to conduct thorough analysis and evaluation of the impact of financial and economic activity of agricultural holdings, especially in the context of maintaining the social and economic development of certain regions. The paper aims to evaluate the impact of agricultural holdings on social and economic development of Ukrainian regions. In order to analyze the impact of financial and economic activity of agricultural holdings on social and economic development of Ukrainian regions the authors calculated the integral agriculture development index for each oblast and analyzed the dependence between the productivity of agricultural production of large agrarian enterprises and this rate. The integral estimation of agricultural production development in Ukrainian regions was carried out for 2016 through standardization of the values of selected indicators against the reference value (according to the chosen methodics, the higher the integral rate shows the higher level of agriculture development). Calculations show that the input of agricultural holdings in the development is the strongest in Vinnytska oblast, where 6 out of 20 largest agricultural holdings by the volume of land bank operate. The impact of agricultural holdings on social and economic development of Kyivska, Cherkaska, Dnipropetrovska, Poltavska and Lvivska oblasts is also essential. Despite the low productivity of agricultural production of large agricultural companies in the southern oblasts (in particular, Odeska and Mykolayivska), the integral agriculture rate is rather high there, which is explained by trade capacity of these oblasts. The following oblasts are the leaders by the volumes of agricultural production: Vinnytska, Poltavska, Kyivska, Harkivska, Dnipropetrovska and Cherkaska, which corresponds to the largest presence of agricultural holdings in these regions. Agricultural lands were the most efficiently used in Volynska, Cherkaska and Vinnytska oblasts. Calculations also show the depressiveness of Donetska and Luhanska oblasts in terms of development of large agricultural enterprises and their input in social and economic development of the regions due to long-lasting political and economic crisis.
