Assessment of the investment attractiveness of agricultural enterprises
Abstract
Investment attractiveness of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises is a strategic factor for mobilizing capital, restoring production, and ensuring long-term sustainability in the context of post-conflict recovery and global market transformation. The study focuses on financial diagnostics, innovation capacity, structural consolidation, and external support mechanisms.
Problem statement. The main problem lies in the lack of standardized investment evaluation models, limited access to capital, and uneven policy implementation. Enterprises face challenges related to infrastructure damage, climate risks, and disrupted logistics, which complicate investment decision-making.
Unresolved aspects of the problem. Key unresolved issues include landmine contamination, import dependence, and insufficient integration of innovation indicators into investment models. The impact of digital technologies, export infrastructure, and state support on investment attractiveness requires further analysis.
Purpose of the article. To develop a comprehensive framework for assessing the investment attractiveness of agricultural enterprises, combining financial indicators, innovation potential, external risks, and policy factors.
Presentation of the main material. The article analyzes profitability, liquidity, and leverage metrics, trends in fixed asset investment, and the role of medium and large enterprises in sectoral consolidation. It examines export dynamics, import substitution, and instruments of state support. Special attention is paid to AgTech innovations, precision farming, and risk mitigation strategies supported by international donors.
Conclusions. Despite wartime challenges, Ukrainian agriculture demonstrates resilience and investment potential. A comprehensive evaluation approach enhances informed capital allocation, supports modernization, and strengthens competitiveness in domestic and international markets.
