Final results as criteria for the effectiveness of the agro-food complex development management

Introduction. The relevance of this study is due to the need to develop scientifically based approaches to assessing the effectiveness of agro-food complex management based on the analysis of its final results. In the context of global challenges and transformation of economic processes, systemic monitoring of integration processes and theoretical analysis their impact on the balance of economic, social and environmental indicators of the agro-industrial complex is of particular importance. Research methodology. The article applies systemic and mesoeconomic approaches, which made it possible to analyze the agro-industrial complex as a multi-level dynamic system. The article provides a comparative analysis of the target functions of the agro-industrial and agro-food complexes. A literature review of the “final results of the agro-food complex” interpretations allowed us to provide the author’s definition of this category. The concept of final results as an integral indicator of efficiency, combining economic, social and environmental parameters has been developed. The key role of the intersectoral balance as a tool for assessing structural relationships and managing integration processes has been substantiated. Empirical analysis. The article presents the structural organization of inter-industry balance tables and the possibilities of their application for studying the efficiency of horizontal and vertical links in the agro-industrial complex. The article describes the dynamic links between the quadrants of the input-output matrix. A conceptual model of agro-food complex management has been developed, where the inter-industry balance acts as an analytical core for monitoring indicators, assessing the effect of integration processes; substantiating management decisions. Practical examples of the management decisions’ influence on the final results of the agro-industrial complex are demonstrated. Conclusions. The study confirmed that the final results’ system of indicators serves as a criterion for the efficiency of agro-industrial complex management, allowing to identify imbalances, optimize production and distribution chains and make scientifically sound decisions. The application of the inter-industry balance methodology creates a basis for assessing the contribution of each link of the agro-industrial complex to achieving the strategic goals of the industry, which makes it an indispensable tool for managing the development of the agro-food complex.
