The role of social programs in the implementation of corporate social responsibility

In recent years, the role of non-material factors in economic development has been growing: social policy and corporate social responsibility of companies are becoming increasingly important. Determining the forms, methods and amounts of contribution to the socio-economic component ofpublic relations is the prerogative of any company, and structuring activities in this area is a prerequisite for creating social programs. The study is devoted to the definition and justification of the role of social programs in the implementation of corporate social responsibility. The relevance of the research is due to the increasing influence of corporate social responsibility on the economic condition and development of companies, as well as on the socio-economic life of society. The constant interest of all interested parties in the disclosure of corporate information, including social orientation, further confirms the relevance of this study

ЕКСПОРТНИЙ ПОТЕНЦІАЛ АГРАРНОГО СЕКТОРУ УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ КОНКУРЕНТНОГО СЕРЕДОВИЩА

The purpose of the paper is to investigate the level of competitiveness of agricultural and food products and to identify the possible areas of export development on the basis of scientific works and the existing system of national strategy of the agricultural sector development. The concept of «export potential of the agricultural sector” and its relation to the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises was revealed. The dynamics and the geography of Ukrainian export of agro-food products was investigated. The data of the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine for 2005—2016, Internet resources, and own observations served as the basis for the research. For the purposes of the research such groups of the most important product types were selected: cereals, namely: winter wheat, winter barley, corn; vegetable oil (sunflower, rapeseed, soybean), strawberry, sunflower and soya, etc., and as well as those that at the present stage are advocated and, thus, may significantly raise export potential in the long term (meat, poultry, dairy products, etc.). Change in the orientation of agro-export is associated with several factors: firstly, difficult political relationships with the Russian Federation resulted in a significant reduction in the volumes of exports to this country; secondly, the increase in exports to EU countries in connection to the signing of association agreement with the EU; thirdly, the continued growth of exports to the countries of Asia and Africa.It is the «competitiveness» that identifies the opportunities for the products supply on external markets, and this is a potential set of types of agro-food products, which domestic agricultural enterprises are able to export, that identifies the potential of the agricultural sector. Ukrainian producers have the advantage over the competitors in terms of the quality and products prices which is confirmed by the fact that domestic products are exported to more than 90 countries of the world. The use of the model of potential growth of export potential of the Ukrainian agro-products will able to fully provide growers with information about potential markets for products, to ensure the proper support for the promotion of products on foreign markets.Раскрыто понятие «экспортный потенциал аграрного сектора» и его взаимосвязь с «конкурентоспособностью сельскохозяйственных предприятий». Исследованы динамика и география экспорта агропродовольственной продукции в Украине. Использование предложенной модели потенциального роста экспортного потенциала украинской агропродовольственной продукции позволит полностью обеспечить аграриев информацией о возможных рынков сбыта продукции, обеспечить надлежащую поддержку при продвижении продукции на зарубежные рынки.Ціллю дослідження є дослідження на базі наукових доробків і чинної системи вітчизняної стратегії розвитку аграрного сектору економіки рівень розвитку конкурентоспроможності вітчизняної аграрної та продовольчої продукції і визначення можливих напрямів експортного розвитку. Розкрито поняття «експортний потенціал аграрного сектору» і його взаємозв’язок з «конкурентоспроможністю сільськогосподарських підприємств». Досліджено динаміку і географію експорту агропродовольчої продукції в Україні. Основою дослідження слугували дані Державного комітету статистики України за 2005—2016 роки, дані Інтернет-ресурсів і власні спостереження авторів. Для цілей роботи відібрано групи найбільш значущих видів продукції [озима пшениця, озимий ячмінь, кукурудза; рослинна олія (соняшникова, ріпакова, соєва), полуниця, насіння соняшнику та боби сої тощо] і тих, які на сучасному етапі виступають бюджетоформувальними та таких, що можуть суттєво наростити експортний потенціал у перспективі (м’ясо, птиця, молочні продукти тощо). Зміна орієнтирів експорту агропродовольчої продукції пов’язана з декількома основними чинниками: по-перше, важкі політичні стосунки з Російською Федерацією призвели до суттєвого скорочення обсягів продукції в цю країну; по-друге, збільшення експорту до країн ЄС у зв’язку з укладенням Угоди про асоціацію з ЄС; по-третє, подальше зростання експорту в країни Азії та Африки. Саме «конкурентоспроможність» визначає можливості постачання продуктів на зовнішні ринки і включає потенційний набір типів агропродовольчих товарів, які вітчизняні сільськогосподарські підприємства можуть експортувати, що визначає потенціал аграрного сектору. Українські виробники мають перевагу перед конкурентами щодо якості та цін виробів, що підтверджується тим фактом, що вітчизняна продукція експортується в більш ніж 90 країн світу. Використання запропонованої моделі потенційного зростання експортного потенціалу української агропродовольчої продукції дасть можливість повністю забезпечити аграріїв інформацією щодо можливих ринків збуту продукції, забезпечити належну підтримку при просуванні продукції на зарубіжні ринки

Early physiological response of potato plants to entomopathogenic fungi under hydroponic conditions

Endophytic entomopathogenic fungi are promising agents for the promotion of plant growth, the activation of immunity, and protection against phytopathogens. However, physiological changes in plants after treatment with fungi are insufficiently studied. We investigated the effect of potato inoculation with conidia from Metarhizium robertsii and Beauveria bassiana on the growth (fresh and dry weight, length of shoots and roots, counts of stolons and leaves, and total surface area of leaves) and physiological parameters (pigment contents, free proline and malondialdehyde content, and activity of antioxidant enzymes) at the initial stage of the plant–fungus interaction (seven days) under hydroponic conditions. The results showed that the fungi could act as an immune-modulating factor for plants based on the increase in malondialdehyde and proline contents. At the same time, we observed growth retardation and a decrease in the content of photosynthetic pigments, which may be caused by a tradeoff between plant growth and the immune response
