Improvement of Agricultural Management: Functional Comparative Approach

Agrarian sector can and must face an important mission of supporting food security inside the country and at the global level. In concern for Ukraine it is complicated because of the sharp misbalance between agricultural segments caused by imperfect management. To meet this challenge the research methodology was focused on improving management functions involving coordination, control, planning, organization, and motivation. A sound solution to the issue will be to implement methods and approaches of managing the agrarian sector applied by the world leader such as the USA. It is valuable for macro-economic substantiations to state and regional programs of agricultural development as well as for micro-economic optimization of the farmers’ activities. The cluster model distributing regions and states by volumes of agrarian products addressed coordination and control over the results of agricultural production. A function of planning was considered through specialization of the agricultural activity including growing grain and oilseed crops, olericulture and horticulture, productions of meat, milk, and eggs. Indicators of agricultural wage, technological perfection, their compliance with the real external economic and legislative environment were chosen as criteria for analyzing motivation and organization components. The offered sequential monitoring and comparing dynamics of development in agrarian sectors of Ukraine and the USA will provide the desired continuous improvements in quality and effectiveness of agricultural management.
