Transformation of Ukrainian agricultural business in the context of transition to a circular green development model

Finding ways to develop Ukrainian agribusiness in the context of the transition of economic systems at different levels to a circular green development model is a pressing and critical task to improve national and food security, as well as to ensure sustainable growth of the national economy. The study aimed to formulate directions for accelerating the transition of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises to a circular green business model by identifying trends and problems in the development of the country’s agro-industrial complex, defining the specifics of Ukraine’s transition to a circular green model, and identifying the advantages and challenges that accompany the process of transitioning agribusiness to a circular green development model. The study was based on the integrated use of such methods as: literary analysis; data collection and analysis (desk research); bibliographic method; comparative evaluation; economic analysis; Ishikawa diagram; systematisation, grouping and logical generalisation. The study highlighted the need for agricultural enterprises to adopt a circular green development model as part of the transition to post-industrial business principles. The economic analysis identified trends and problems in the development of Ukraine’s agro-industrial complex, as well as the challenges that accompany the country in its transition to a circular green development model. The study identified the positive aspects of the transition of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises to a circular green development model. Separately, using the Ishikawa Diagram, the cause-and-effect relationships of the problems of transition to a circular green model of agribusiness development in Ukraine were identified, where six groups of problems were identified (institutions, society, markets, technology, personnel, and finance). Ways of reforming the agricultural business of Ukraine within the framework of ensuring the transition to a circular green model of development are proposed. The results obtained in the course of the study are of high practical importance for Ukrainian agricultural producers, as they accelerate the transition to a circular green development model and increase competitiveness and resilience to economic challenges
