The dissertation is devoted to substantiation of theoretical and methodical bases and development of the practical recommendations directed on maintenance of sustainable development of domestic agricultural production in the conditions of growth of openness of national economy.
The dissertation substantiates the objective need to continue the agrarian reform aimed at forming a stable competitive national agricultural production. Indicates the existence of internal contradictions that prevent its reform. It is argued that the only way to resolve such contradictions is to reach a public consensus that the agricultural sector should develop on the principles of sustainable development. It is pointed out that the growing openness of the national economy reveals both new opportunities and risks for national agricultural production.
The study, systematization and classification of indicators of efficiency of agricultural production within the concept of sustainable development. Criteria, threshold values and terms of achievement of target values of indicators are substantiated. Approaches to assessing the impact of the institutional sector "abroad" on the conditions and results of national agricultural production have been adapted. It points to the current domestic problem of the deficit of democratic institutions, the lack of formation and systemic weakness of state institutions, which threatens the timely and full achievement of strategic goals of agrarian reform.
It is established that there are low and negative indicators of economic efficiency of sustainable agricultural production. This is due to insufficient growth rates of crop production, the continuation of the crisis in livestock and pig farming, low productivity, lack of investment and so on. It is established that there are low and negative indicators of social efficiency of sustainable agricultural production. This is due to excessive expenditures of households for the purchase of food products, insufficient consumption of valuable food products, excessive growth of consumer food prices, reduction of the rural population, destruction of the social infrastructure of rural areas and so on. It is established that there are negative indicators of environmental efficiency of sustainable agricultural production. This is due to excessive plowing of land, monoculture, reduction of forage crops, pastures and hayfields, increasing areas of acidic and saline soils, growing water shortages and more.
Based on the analysis of foreign trade, it is concluded that the place of agricultural production in Ukraine within the world system concept - a raw material appendage of the economies of developed countries. Such a foreign economic vector contradicts the idea of sustainable development of national agricultural production.
The use of the multiplier-accelerator effect and the power function allowed to establish that in order to meet the regulatory needs of the country's population in scarce foodstuffs, the real volume of agricultural production should increase by UAH 105.5 billion.
With the help of econometric modeling it is established that the main factors of growth of agricultural production are increase of labor productivity and capital provision. They account for 73.4% of the change in real output. The necessary increase in capital adequacy to achieve the target level of labor productivity is calculated. This allowed to determine that in the scale of national agricultural production the real value of fixed assets should increase from 346.2 to 457.1 billion UAH.
The method of deployment of agricultural policy measures aimed at achieving sustainable development of agricultural production in the conditions of growing openness of the national economy, which are proposed to be called "recovery points", is substantiated. As an initial "recovery point", it is proposed to increase the number of cattle.
A mixed strategy of sustainable development of agricultural production in the conditions of growing openness of the national economy by combining comparative advantages with the use of opportunities to strengthen weaknesses has been developed. The strategy is proposed in the form of a "tree of goals" with 3 strategic goals, 12 tactical goals and 15 key means to achieve them.
An investment mechanism has been developed to ensure the sustainable development of agricultural production, which is a harmonious combination of direct and indirect public investment policy and investment policy within the framework of public-private partnership.
