Theoretical foundations of agroholdings development and their impact on the rural areas
The article analyzes the development of agricultural holdings in the agrarian sphere of the country on the basis of the theory of institutional approach. Three groups of developing agroholdings have been identified. The main factors contributing to the development of agricultural holdings in the food supply chain are substantiated. It has been established that the development of large agricultural holdings on the basis of agricultural and processing enterprises, which have the best rental potential through the concentration of capital in the agrifood sector, is a consequence of the previous stage of the industry. Excessive concentration of land in agricultural holdings has been revealed, which squeeze out agricultural enterprises and farmers from the land market, creating a tense situation in rural areas of the country. In general, the positive impact of agricultural holdings at this stage of formation of the agricultural sector will outweigh the impact of negative factors on rural development.
