Tytuł	QUO VADIS ORGANIZATION OF THE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES MARKET IN POLAND? STATE OF ORGANIZATION OF THE POLISH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES MARKET
Title
Słowa kluczowe	fruit and vegetable market, integration, competitiveness
Key words
Abstrakt	The article aimed to present the state of the organization of the fruit and vegetable market in Poland in 2020. Based on a library query and available registers, changes in the number of producer groups and organiza tions, their members, and the selected organizational form and category of products offered in Poland in 2004-2020 were presented. After the introduction of legislative changes in 2012, limiting the co-financing of the market organization process, a chronic decrease in both the number of existing fruit and vegetable producer organizations and their members is noticeable. Such a long-term trend may lead to a decline in the market organization and bargaining power of domestic producers. To prevent further disintegration of pro ducer groups and organizations, it is suggested that they should be provided with institutional support that would be long-lasting and stable.

Tytuł	STRATEGIC FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOECONOMY DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE
Title
Słowa kluczowe	bioeconomy, concept of the state strategy for the development of bioeconomy, innovative development
Key words
Abstrakt	The purpose of this study is to identify the global trends in bioeconomic development and to develop the Concept of a State Strategy of Bioeconomic Development in Ukraine for the period until 2030. The authors define the bioeconomy as a set of industries that ensure the sustainable use of renewable resources, the use of biotechnologies for production while reducing the potential environmental damage, contributing to the innovative development of relevant sectors, and providing positive aspects of socio-economic development. The article formulates approaches to measuring the state and effectiveness of the bioeconomic development in Ukraine and the EU countries. Based on the analysis of world experience, it is concluded that to accelerate the development of the bioeconomy in Ukraine, it is necessary to develop the Strategy for the development of the bioeconomy in Ukraine. The conceptual foundations of such a Strategy have been developed by the authors of the article. The results of the study are the basis for the development and implementation of the State Strategy for the Development of Bioeconomy in Ukraine. The relevance of this study is determined by the absence of the Bioeconomic Development Strategy in Ukraine, which makes it difficult for the country to reach a new technological and innovative level of development. At the same time, the development and implementation of this Strategy will help Ukraine enter the international system of production of new knowledge and technologies.

Tytuł	ARE AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY PRICES AFFECTED BY COVID-19? A STRUCTURAL BREAK IDENTIFICATION
Title
Słowa kluczowe	agricultural commodities, stock market, COVID-19, structural breaks
Key words
Abstrakt	The paper aims to identify the COVID-19-driven structural break in agricultural commodity prices time series. We assume the official outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, i.e., 11 March 2020, as the breaking point. We use data on the S&P GSCI Agriculture and Livestock Index and the S&P 500 from Refinitiv Datastream. The structural break is identified based on the Chow test. We prove the existence of structural break in both the S&P 500 and the S&P GSCI Agriculture and Livestock Index triggered by the official outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, to assess the causality between the analysed series, we apply the Granger causality test. We reveal a unidirectional causal relationship from the stock market to the agricultural commodity market.

Tytuł	DEVELOPMENT OF AGRITOURISM THROUGH THE CONCEPT OF LOCAL GASTRONOMY POINTS
Title
Słowa kluczowe	agritourism, rural areas, local gastronomy
Key words
Abstrakt	This paper addresses issues regarding the new government initiative Local Gastronomic Points to develop rural areas with agritourism potential in Romania by highlighting the local gastronomy. The main objective of this research is to identify how the concept of Local Gastronomic Points is perceived in terms of the opinion of the owners who manage such businesses and to identify the implications of this concept in the development of agritourism. In this respect, qualitative marketing research based on the semi-structured interview method was conducted at the level of the rural tourist destination Vama Buzaului, Romania. The main conclusion of the study is that the Local Gastronomic Points is an initiative that demonstrates that it can generate horizontal development of the rural areas and the development of agritourism. The research results revealed that this concept enhances the local community and gastronomy. Starting from these results, we propose to design a unitary Gastro Local concept at the county level, which should include specific requirements regarding the culinary preparations and services, the standardization of the marking and signalling of these Points, and intense activity of information and tourist promotion. The results of the study are conclusive and relevant for stakeholders in agritourism, for the responsible public authorities in the field of tourism, to develop competitive rural tourist destinations. The paper also offers future research directions.

Tytuł	THE HACCP SYSTEM AS A GUARANTEE FOR FOOD SAFETY IN UKRAINE
Title
Słowa kluczowe	management system, HACCP, Critical Control Point (CPC)
Key words
Abstrakt	The research points out the principal concept of the HACCP system, ensuring product safety along the whole food chain 'from the field to the table'. It focuses on HACCP as the food safety management system that proved to be effective and has been accepted globally. In recent years the HACCP system has been gradually introduced in Ukrainian business entities. The article reveals the emergence of the HACCP system and the adaptation of the legal base of Ukraine in the area of food safety requirements. It provides evidence that the harmonization of Ukrainian and international standards in the field of food quality and safety calls for the necessity to introduce HACCP-conforming technologies at all stages of production in Ukrainian companies. The results of the audits of food product safety in Ukraine for the period 2016-2019 were evaluated.

Tytuł	COGNITIVE MODELLING OF AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INFORMATION SUPPORT OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES
Title
Słowa kluczowe	information support, cognitive approach, modelling, forecasting, poorly structured system, cognitive modelling of efficiency of functioning of the information system of agricultural entrepreneurship
Key words
Abstrakt	This article encompasses the methodology of cognitive modelling of complex poorly structured systems. Based on the expert method and with the help of this modelling methodology, the main factors that influence the effectiveness of information support of agricultural entrepreneurship were identified and the direction of their action was determined. There has been developed a cognitive map that reflects the cumulative impact of various factors on each other, as well as on the effectiveness of the information system for agricultural entrepreneurship. Hidden patterns between factors influencing the effectiveness of information support of agricultural entrepreneurship are revealed based on the cognitive map. The scenario approach is simulated based on different trends that reflect the current situation. This model allows us to further evaluate the performance of the system of information support of agricultural entrepreneurship under the influence of the environment, to predict its development, as well as to develop optimal strategic decisions that are aimed at ensuring sustainable development.

Tytuł	GLOBAL AREAS OF AGRARIAN BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Title
Słowa kluczowe	food security, pandemic, poverty, reduction of profitability, strategic development goals, global environment, food security indicators, consumer price index
Key words
Abstrakt	The following research methods are used to achieve this goal: theoretical synthesis, analysis, abstract and logical - to reveal the relationship of the global food crisis in the context of achieving food security goals; interpretation and comparison - to determine the prospects for improving food security; tabular and graphical - for a visual representation of food security in the world. It has been established that food security is an objective necessity for human development. Its provision is a guarantee of regular access of the population to high-quality food necessary for leading an active and healthy life. Taking into account the analysed indicators of food security, reserves have been identified for improving the growth of food security in the strategy of sustainable development of Ukraine and the world. A cumulative interrelated analysis of pandemic and post-pandemic poverty growth, declining profitability, and price differentiation in food security has been conducted. The assessment of divergent changes in the food sector of Ukraine and other countries is carried out taking into account the challenges of the environmental environment. The results of the study on food security can be used in the management of the economy and the agro-industrial sector as one of the goals of sustainable development.

Tytuł	DRIVING FORCE OF ORGANIC FARMING IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC – MARKET DEMAND OR FINANCIAL SUPPORT?
Title
Słowa kluczowe	correlation, Czech Republic, organic agriculture, financial support, organic market
Key words
Abstrakt	In the Czech Republic, and possibly in many other eastern European countries, organic production still has potential for further growth. Over the past three decades, organic farming has become an essential alternative to farming practices. An increase was observed among acreage, the number of farms, and also consumer spending on organic production. After the EU accession, organic farming became part of the agricultural policy related to other than production function and therefore supported by EU finance. The contribution aimed to derive which of the two factors was more important for organic farming expansion - the pull factor (market demand) or the push factor (financial support). Using Pearson's correlation coefficient stronger relationship was observed for financial aid, which was a driving force for the organic agriculture spread in the Czech Republic.

Tytuł	FORMATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR THE BIOECONOMY IN UKRAINE
Title
Słowa kluczowe	bioeconomy, agriculture, biotechnologies, bioresources, strategies
Key words
Abstrakt	The article examines the role of the bioeconomy in the formation of priorities for the economic development of Ukraine. It is determined that the primary goal of the bioeconomy is the optimal use of renewable biological resources and the creation of sustainable manufacturing systems for new products. It is noted that Ukraine belongs to the countries with high bioeconomic potential, the source of which is the production of biomass of agricultural origin that creates favorable conditions for the development of the bioeconomy. The dynamics of biomass production potential are characterized by a stable increase in the amount of biomass available for use, and its energy capacity is analysed. Using the methodology of 'smart specialization', a model of strategy formation was developed, which defines the priorities, goals, and objectives of the bioeconomic development of Ukraine's economy.

Tytuł	THE ROLE OF BIOMASS IN THE BIOECONOMIC POLICY OF UKRAINE AND ITS LEGAL REGULATION
Title
Słowa kluczowe	bioeconomy, biotechnologies, innovations, agricultural biomass
Key words
Abstrakt	The article examines the need and possibility of introducing bioeconomy in the management system of the national economy, in the context of the focus on sustainable development through the use of the most modern techniques and technologies for the use of biomass. It is determined that the key role in the development of a new direction of the country's economy is played by the agricultural sector, as the bioeconomy of agricultural systems is based on agricultural biomass and biotechnology. Optimization of agricultural biomass flows is one of the components of bioeconomy development. It is noted that, given the significant natural and economic, raw material research and production potential and state support, Ukraine has great opportunities for bioeconomy development based on the production of environmentally friendly bioenergy products through the efficient use of agricultural biomass. The legal bases of the state management of the bioeconomic development of Ukraine are stated.

Tytuł	CHANGES IN THE ECONOMIC SIZE AND PRODUCTION DIRECTION IN FARMS AS A RESULT OF INVESTMENTS IN FIXED ASSETS
Title
Słowa kluczowe	investments, farms, economic size, type of farming, farm migrations
Key words
Abstrakt	The research aimed to identify the impact of the implemented projects on the change in the economic size and direction of farms. The research used studies of the literature on the subject and data from 4 803 farms that kept continuous accounting under the FADN system in 2005-2013. The analysed economy was grouped according to the value of investment outlays in funds, economic size, and production type. Research shows that the increase in the level of investment is conducive to increasing the economic strength of farms. However, these investments must be high enough to ensure the appropriate level of difficulty. For the lower average level of questions, smaller languages are less and very small. Moreover, investments favour and accelerate the processing of farms, which may also improve their economic effects. In the analysed group of mixed-type farms, they changed the destination for the cultivation of cereals and the place of milk.
