Abstract

Increasing the investment attractiveness of agro-industrial business and expanding the sources of attracting private investment by agricultural producers of Ukraine is an important task today. The purpose of the study is an economic assessment of the investment potential of the agricultural sector of Ukraine and the development of scientific and practical principles for increasing the investment attractiveness of the industry, which can be used in the post-war period for the development of the national economy. Special and general scientific methods were used during the research, for example: dialectical, abstract-logical, monographic, economic-statistical, system analysis, graphic and generalization. The article systematizes the approaches of scientists to the assessment of investment potential. For the first time, the authors summarized and characterized the components of the investment potential of the country/region as a set of economic, resource, political, social and labour, production, financial, innovative, infrastructural and institutional factors. The dynamics of the development of the investment attractiveness of Ukraine in general and the agrarian sector of the economy, in particular, are analysed. It was found that capital investments in agriculture have an unstable trend; in particular, investments in the industry are disproportionate to production. It has been proven that the potential direction of innovation-oriented development of the agricultural sector is the increase in the processing of plant and animal products, which maximizes the added value of goods on the foreign and domestic markets and will allow to increase the rate of growth of the country's GDP, attract foreign investments and technologies, and ensure economic stabilization in the war and post-war periods The following priority goals of investment activities in the agricultural sector of Ukraine are highlighted: improvement of soil fertility; improvement of the country's food and, at the same time, economic security; comprehensive social protection and provision of decent living conditions for the population in rural areas, which were disturbed by the war
