Usenko A. Economy aspects of increasing energy efficiency of agricultural production

The theoretical, methodological and practical problems of increasing energy efficiency of agricultural production. It has been proved that for search of backlogs for decreasing agricultural products cost is necessary to use the analysis of composition and structure of product energy consumption. The optimum volume of energy consumption is defined in the stock-raising of Lugansk region. The proposals were worked out as to increasing energy efficiency of agricultural production through by means of using combined agricultural machines working out of all possible variants of aggregating of agricultural machines, taking into account the charges of energy in the conditions of a concrete agrarian enterprise (fields, work conditions), setting of norms of energy costs, introduction of energy management in agricultural enterprises, adjustment of state policy of energy-saving.
