Abstract

In agricultural sphere of Ukraine, there are many problems in the organizational and economic conditions providing for its effective development. It concerns completely the milk production. Formerly the average level of milk consumption has been about 60% of the scientifically recommended amount. The decrease may be explained by limited buying ability of consumers, the decreased volume of milk production, low raw milk quality etc. The economic efficiency of milk production is very low, therefore agricultural producers are not interested in milk production and it is not attractive for investors. The efficiency is affected by the low level of organization and technological process. The old machinery used for the milking, feeding and stock keeping cannot provide the productivity level of modern requirements. Due to this, the competitiveness of Ukrainian dairy sector is decreasing. The need for modernization of the production process has become a very actual problem under the financial crisis. This situation requires innovative methods of development and efforts of the integration of producers, processing, service companies and other participants of dairy sector
