The study of the issue of the effective use of lands is carried out using the calculation of economic indicators, on the basis of which a general rating has been determined and a cluster analysis has been carried out. The methodical instrument for constructing cluster analysis was the method of complete linkage at the Euclidian distance to combine the most similar administrative districts of Lviv region according to standardized indicators of economic efficiency of agricultural lands use. The article presents the results of cluster analysis, which showed the formation of three clusters in terms of economic efficiency of agricultural lands use in Lviv region. The research confirms empirically that the condition of land resources in Skole and Turka districts of Lviv region is unsatisfactory. Sambir and Horodok districts are defined as areas with a satisfactory state of agricultural land. In other districts of the region, we can witness a good state of land for the production of agricultural products. The results of the conducted research may be useful for the unification of business entities on an innovative basis to achieve competitive advantages and support economic growth at the regional level.
