ASSESSMENT OF THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS ON THE LEVEL OF AGRO-FOOD PRODUCTS

Using the methodology of correlation and regression analysis and statistical data of indicators of development of regions of Ukraine, the influence of socio-economic factors (as a factor variable) on the level of consumption of agro-food products (effective variable) is studied. Correlations between the level of consumption of agro-food products (poultry meat) and socio-economic factors in the regions of Ukraine have been established. An assessment of the quality of a multifactorial regression model between socio-economic factors and the volume of consumption of agro-food products (poultry meat) was carried out. The percentage range of fluctuations between the influence of socio-economic and other factors on the volume of consumption of agro-food products has been determined. It is proposed on the basis of assessment of the quality of the multifactorial regression model and the calculated coefficient of determination of the grouping of regions according to methodological approaches to clustering. As the main parameters for grouping, the value of the coefficient of determination is allocated and grouped into five models of regional development. The results of the conducted research are quite important for the processes of ensuring socio-economic security and the formation and implementation of regional development programs.
