The study substantiates that the issue of assessing the state of financial security of joint-stock companies in the agricultural sector became relevant with the growth of their number in the dynamics, as well as with the further development of the agricultural market in Ukraine. The article proves the need to identify and calculate the general indicator of the integrated state of financial security of JSC, which will allow us to identify trends in its change in general, compare the levels of different JSCs operating in the agriculture and identify relevant factors of their financial security. The study proves the feasibility of integrated assessment of the financial security of the JSC are confirmed by the fact that the basis of such a scientific and methodological approach creates conditions for reflecting the effectiveness of formation and use of financial resources in the financial and economic activities of agricultural JSCs in the most generalized form. identify the rank of efficiency of financial activity of the JSC, operating in the agricultural sector. In our opinion, this helps the JSC, operating in the agricultural sector to choose the most effective source of financing its financial and economic activities and helps to maximize the market value of the JSC itself by ensuring a sufficient level of its financial security.

The paper aimed to analyze the features of work and work force in the EU agriculture and identify the changes regarding the number of working persons, number of farmers, type of work, utilized agricultural land, standard output, and age, gender, education level structure, based on the data provided by Eurostat. The authors made a comprehensive approach of the main aspects concerning labor force as a reflection of the EU policy measures. The main indicators were described and classified according to the type of work: family work and non family work, pointing out that the EU agriculture is running mainly in family farms of a small size, in which the activity is done both by the farmer and his family members. Family farms represent 95.2% of the total number of farms. They work 62.2% of the total utilized agricultural land and contribute by 59.5% to agricultural output. The higher the average farm size, the higher the average regular work force and the higher average standard output per farm and year. The farmers' ageing and workers' migration led to the decline of labor force in agriculture but to the growth of farms size and productivity. Training level of the most of working persons in agriculture is still low. The new technologies, the challenges created by climate change, the need of environment protection and biodiversity and landscapes preservation in the rural areas claims as farmers to become the main "actors" of the rural communities. Farmers have to be highly trained with entrepreneurial and technological knowledge and skills to be able to continue the sustainable development of agriculture in the future.

The goal of the paper was the analysis of marketing strategies for rural territories development in Ukraine in the context of the decentralization reform that started in 2014. A theoretical and methodological approach was made based on general scientific methods of cognition in relation to the problems of rural development (empirical, analytical, comparative and descriptive methods) as well as a systemic and structuralfunctional analysis in connection with the legislation in force regarding the new administrative-territorial structure of Ukraine, which was formed as a result of the decentralization reform. The success of decentralization practices is manifested, in particular, in the fact that a strong regional identity is being formed, which is able to strengthen the national identity. In the formation of marketing strategies for the development of rural areas, the concept of territory branding is important, as the territory brand contributes to a significant strengthening of regional identity. Under the condition of effective branding of rural areas, some areas may become more interesting in terms of investment attraction, various business projects development, tourist infrastructure formation and so on. In addition, territorial branding often leads to an increase in self-esteem of the population of certain rural areas, which contributes to the reduction of conflict potential at the local level. The initiators of the formation of marketing strategies for rural development should be local authorities. It is stated that successful branding of territories is able to act as a determinant of effective economic development of rural areas.

Data on product categories and hierarchical relationships among them are presented in a built relational database. Fresh fruits category, including 14 product types (cherries and morellos, apples, peaches and apricots, grapes, etc.) is the subject of consideration in this work. The article presents mathematical models describing the dynamics in average prices and purchased quantities of fresh fruits, average per household in Bulgaria. The examined period covers generally 17 years from 2001 to 2017. Linear and quadratic equations have been constructed and analyzed. The results show a growth in purchased quantities, average per household for almost all studied fresh fruits. A similar situation occurs with the other examined indicator. An increase in the average prices of the 14 fruit types has also been observed for the surveyed period, while for some of them (grapes, plums, pears, cherries and morellos, strawberries and raspberries), compared with the rest, this process has been more intensive.

Proposals for the formation of corporate and individual sector strategies are proposed. The dynamics of milk production and processing in Ukraine for 2010-2018 is analysed, where it is noted that the tendency to reduce milk production is still observed, and this, in turn, serves as a significant problem in the dairy subcomplex. The structure of milk purchase by processing enterprises is also considered and characterized, where, according to the requirements of European standards, only grade II milk is received from households for processing. A study was conducted on the author's vision of the development of the commodity dairy sector in rural areas. The main advantages of the participation of the territorial community in the creation and functioning of the procurement organization are investigated. The gradual implementation of measures for the formation of entrepreneurial initiatives in dairy farming in the countryside is demonstrated. There are a number of advantages for the territorial community of the formation of cooperatives, namely the creation of new jobs, increased financial capacity of local budgets due to increased tax revenues, improving the social situation in the united community, the arrival of new techniques and technologies. It was found that the basis for the creation of a production or service cooperative can be a procurement organization formed with the participation of the territorial community or without it. The results of the research on the improvement of organizational and economic relations of milk market participants are demonstrated and substantiated. Perspective directions of development of organizational bases of a dairy subcomplex which allow combining the economic success of business activity of rural households with development of rural territories are considered.

Based on the industry specifics of the agricultural business and on the basis of the results of the structural and coefficient analysis of the organization's cash flows, the article substantiates the need for rational cash management and forecasting their future flows. To carry out competent coordination of calculations and ensure timely cash flow, methodological approaches to forecasting cash flows based on the use of a multiplicative time series model and a study of the influence of seasonal and random components are proposed. Application of the proposed methodology on the example of a specific agricultural organization led to the conclusion that when using an adaptive model with a seasonal component, the calculated values have significant discrepancies with the actual data. The average value of the relative error exceeded 5%. Checking the randomness of the levels of the residual component based on the turning point criterion made it possible to characterize the constructed model as adequate, make a forecast for the coming year, and identify the main tools for improving the efficiency of cash flow management.

Precision farming is agricultural land management, involving the introduction of efficient technologies and machinery to make farming more efficient and ensure production control. Thus, through the measurements in the field and the analysis of environmental factors (weather, quality and soil properties, seasonality, stage of plant development), farmers obtain the information needed to manage resources and culture efficiently. This study presented the results of the measurements in the field, using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with specific topography, with the precision of multispectral camera technology. The Article includes a comparative presentation between multistructural images obtained by a type of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with multi-rotor configuration and multistructural analysis performed by remote sensing by satellites on the same agricultural surface in the Baragan plain

The article is devoted to the prospect of introducing innovative measures in agriculture, which will contribute to the growth of agricultural production in Ukraine. In particular, the authors researched the development of non-conventional land use as a path to greening and capitalizing land use of peasant farms and individual farms, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises in the context of growing organic and niche products. In the course of the analysis, the article examines the state of the use of the land fund in Ukraine, namely, by grouping of the average size land plots of agricultural shares owners. Which made it possible to divide the regions into six groups and show that with an increase in the area of agricultural land in the regions, the intensity of its use also increases, this contributes to degradation processes and, in general, less efficient use of land. As an example, the share of sunflower in the total crop structure is presented, and it exceeds the standards by almost 2 times. The authors of the article noted the fact that the forms and sizes of land use of agricultural enterprises are of great importance for the efficiency of land use. In particular, the structure of operating agricultural enterprises in Ukraine by the size of agricultural land is presented, which made it possible to note a significant percentage of small farms (56.7%). This allows us to conclude that the current trends require a reorientation of the development of land use by individual farms, peasant farms, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises to non-conventional, which foresees the use of innovative measures for the production of organic and niche crops, this will allow them to exist in the agricultural market. From an environmental and economic point of view, the cultivation of organic and niche products will contribute to an increase in labor productivity in rural areas, an increase in the production at individual farms, peasant farms, as well as at small and medium-sized enterprises, and in general, will accelerate the greening and capitalization of land use. As the land use is both a place of work and a territory of residence for land share owners and farmers. The authors present agricultural crops that are in demand both for export and for consumption inside the country.
