BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL REGULATION OF ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITIES IN THE SPHERE OF AGRICULTURE

Abstract

In the work, the author emphasizes the priority importance of agriculture as
a branch of the economy for the state. In the author's opinion, the following main
features of this branch can be distinguished: 1) socially useful activity that
ensures social food security for the population of our state and part of the
population of other states; 2) the dependence of such activity on natural and
climatic conditions, and recently in Ukraine on the security and economic
situation; 3) seasonality of this type of activity; 4) the main means of production
are agricultural lands; 5) it is carried out with the aim of making a profit by
business entities; 6) a significant role of administrative and legal regulation of this
activity, a high degree of dependence on state policy, a significant need for state
support for business entities engaged in agricultural activity; 7) the main (but not
the only) purpose of this activity is the production of agricultural products. It is
stated that given that agriculture ensures the food security of our country and is
one of the main sectors of the economy, the role of the state and, in particular, the
administrative and legal regulation of entrepreneurial activity in agriculture
should be significant. An important role in the implementation of administrative
and legal regulation is played by the fundamental ideas, according to which the
content of this activity is revealed. Such principles are established at the level of
current legislation and the doctrine of agrarian and administrative law. At the
same time, the author believes that the following principles are relevant today:
the priority of agriculture among the sectors of the economy, the direction of
targeted financial assistance and the attraction of international investments, the
restoration of a safe physical and ecological state of lands, compliance with high
standards in the field of quality and safety of agricultural products, public
participation in the formation of state policy, the focus on environmental
protection, accountability of state authorities and control over their activities, as
well as international cooperation and European integration.
