The Essence and Features of Corporate Development in Agroindustrial Production

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the study is to explore the essence and evolution of the concept of corporate development in agro-industrial production, to identify the specific features of corporate development in agriculture, and to systematize the main forms of corporate associations in the agro-industrial complex (AIC). The article analyzes the stages of formation of corporate relations in the agricultural sector. It is determined that corporate development in agriculture has specific features caused by dependence on land as the main resource, the seasonality of production, the need for risk diversification, and the implementation of vertical integration under the “from field to table” model. The paper examines scientific approaches of domestic and foreign scholars to the functioning of agricultural corporations and summarizes the results of research on the growth trends of agroholdings, their impact on the socio-economic development of rural areas, production efficiency, and export potential. Statistical indicators of the dynamics of the number of agroholdings, the area of land they use, and their share in Ukraine’s total land fund for 2007–2024 have been analyzed. It was established that the war became a factor of deep transformation of the corporate agricultural sector: the reduction in land banks and the number of enterprises was followed by adaptive growth in 2023–2024. In summary, corporate development in the AIC is a multidimensional phenomenon encompassing economic, managerial, social, and environmental aspects. In Ukraine, it has contributed to the growth of production and exports as well as integration into the global economy; however, maintaining long-term stability requires finding a balance between large corporations and small producers. Prospects for further research include a quantitative analysis of the impact of corporate concentration on production efficiency and rural development, as well as the study of state mechanisms for supporting fair competition, cooperation, and sustainable development. The practical implementation of these approaches will contribute to the formation of a balanced agricultural policy that combines high productivity with the social sustainability of rural communities.
