Prospects for increasing the level of innovation activity of dairy enterprises
Progressive development of the dairy industry requires improving technologies of feed production, keeping, feeding, increasing livestock and breeding work on farms, the genetic potential of breeds, milking cows, storing and processing milk and producing the necessary range of dairy products. Successful implementation of these technological processes requires an effective system of innovative support for dairy production, for which the scientific developments of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine are important. At the same time, the ability of dairy enterprises to innovative development is determined by the transformation of their economic mechanism through the introduction of technical, organisational and managerial achievements in the field of technology. The purpose of the article is to study the current realities, opportunities and forecast the main dimensions for the intensification of innovative activities of dairy enterprises in Ukraine. A number of methods were used in the research process: monographic; comparative analysis; prognostication; tabular; settlement and constructive; graphic, abstract-logical. The existence of an adapted system of innovative support is established and scientific developments of control in the selection of raw milk, vitamin naturalisation of milk, technologies of production of dietary dairy products, automation of production processes, heat treatment of milk using modern packaging materials to extend its shelf life, introduction of innovative methods in operational activities, personnel development, marketing and logistics, the use of which should be extended in the system of economic mechanism of functioning and development of the dairy industry. The forecast indicators of the raw material base of the dairy industry of Ukraine, which in 2025 will remain at the level of 2020 and will amount to 9287 thousand tons, with an increase in milk production in agricultural enterprises by 13.0% and a decrease in households by 5.0%. The necessary volumes of raw material production have been established to ensure the production capacity of milk processing enterprises and the rational norm of consumption of milk and dairy products. The dynamics of forecast indicators of dairy production in Ukraine is constructed. The priority target guidelines of the strategy of intensification of innovative activity of milk processing enterprises are substantiated. An algorithm for increasing the innovative activity of a processing enterprise is proposed. These approaches and research results can be used by public and sectoral authorities in the organization of monitoring and development of priority measures to intensify the innovative activities of Ukrainian dairy industry
