Macroeconomic investment process in agriculture of Ukraine
Investments in agriculture are an essential factor in implementing the enormous potential of the agricultural sector in Ukraine and accelerating economic growth and development. The scientific approaches to the significance of the mechanism of regulation of investment activity, which will ensure the development of a set of efficient investment flows, are investigated. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the theoretical provisions on the essence and features of the investment process and the most significant areas of its activation in agriculture. In the course of the study, the following methods were used: dialectical – in the knowledge of investment processes and phenomena; abstract-logical – substantiation of theoretical provisions on the development of investment processes; economic-statistical – identification of trends and patterns in the investment process; graphical – estimates of the main indicators of the dynamics and structure of investments; correlation-regression analysis – establishing interdependencies between indicators; strategic planning – in substantiating the investment forecast. The theoretical provisions and methodological approaches to assessing the macroeconomic investment process by their main features are generalised, and the most significant areas of its activation in agriculture are substantiated. Theoretical provisions on the economic essence of the investment process were further developed, in particular, the definition of its concept about agriculture, 16 most significant features and areas of activation were proposed. The results of the study can be used in the development of investment strategies and national policy in agriculture
