Countering Crime in the Sphere of Food Security in the Context of Reforming Domestic Special Services
Abstract
The article analyzes the current state of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine and identifies the existing threatening trends in the field of food security of state. Main priorities of the national agrarian sector development are increasing the participation of Ukraine in ensuring global agricultural markets, ensuring food security of state, preventing the irrational structure of exports, as well as preventing the excessive export of raw materials. Also one of the vital priorities is preventing the stateʼs grain market from destabilization by powerful grain traders through anti-competitive concerted actions and discriminatory policies with respect to small and medium businesses. However, in modern conditions, there is a threatening trend of monopolization of the domestic grain market by foreign companies whose goal is to prevent Ukraine from entering external agricultural markets and gradually turning it into an exporting country of raw materials, not finished products. The author provides us with examples of contracts and agreements with foreign companies that undermine the agrarian economy of the state, in particular by providing a credit at an overvalued interest rate. As a matter of fact, Ukraine has become a «hostage» of the situation when some states seek to implement in the country a scenario of undermining the agrarian potential of our state by presenting the “best” credit offers on preferential terms. Such unfavorable long-term projects in the agricultural sector will harm the domestic economy and leads to financial dependence of the country from foreign investors, which contradicts the interests of domestic producers. Currently, there are a number of trends and factors that negatively affect the development of the state food sector and its important components in the domestic agro-industrial complex. That is why the author of the article considers main reasons of undermining the agricultural potential of our country and provides possible ways to address them.
