СОЦІАЛЬНО-ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ БЕЗПЕКА АГРОПЕРЕРОБНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ ЗАХІДНОГО РЕГІОНУ УКРАЇНИ В КОНТЕКСТІ ЄВРОІНТЕГРАЦІЇ

The purpose of the article is to analyse trends in key indicators and provide an integrated assessment of the socio-economic security of agro-processing enterprises in the western region of Ukraine in the context of European integration based on statistical data for the period. Ensuring the socio-economic security of agro-processing enterprises is important for the development of the economy not only of the Western region, but also of Ukraine as a whole, especially during the period of war and post-war recovery. It has been found that, compared to the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, agro-processing enterprises in Western Ukraine recovered more quickly from the consequences of full-scale war in its second year. The results of the integrated assessment showed that the highest levels of socio-economic security were provided by the Lviv and Zakarpattia regions, which are border regions and most involved in cross-border logistics flows with the EU during the full-scale war. The rest of the regions provided an average level of this index, which indicates the need to continue active work in this area. It was concluded that the agro-processing sector has prospects for growth in activity, compensating for the losses of relevant enterprises in the war-torn eastern, northern and southern regions, as well as the potential to expand its export orientation towards the EU market, which is also very important for accelerating Ukraine's European integration processes. At the same time, it is important to provide additional economic incentives and guarantees to increase the level of socio-economic security of agro-processing enterprises in the regions of the Western Polissya zone (Volyn and Rivne regions).
