Summary

The article analyzes the formed branch structure of agricultural production in the Ukraine`s Polissia zone and examines the internal factors underlying the deepening of the branch disproportion, and also, measures the impact of these factors on the change in the volume of gross agricultural crop and livestock production in the zone. For this purpose, the dynamics of the volume of gross agricultural production in Polissia and its share in the structure of agricultural production in Ukraine were analyzed. Also, the dynamics of sown areas and crop yields, livestock and poultry population and their productivity were studied and analytical calculations were performed to measure internal factors` influence on changes in the volume of gross agricultural production.

In the research process, while studying formed branch disproportion in its historical dynamics, the method of historicism was used. The abstraction method was applied to focus on the main internal factors of changes in the volume of gross agricultural crop and livestock production. Using the analysis method, the production of branches that form zone`s total volume of gross agricultural production was identified and investigated. In the process of collecting data, processing statistical information, analyzing patterns and interpreting research results a statistical method was used. The graphical method, by using diagrams, was applied to visualize and facilitate the analysis of the total volume of gross agricultural production dynamics by natural and climatic zones and to illustrate the sown areas structure of the Polissia zone.

Based on the study results, regional and/or state authorities can develop and implement zonal programs for Polissia agricultural sector development aimed at eliminating its branch disproportion and providing agricultural production in Ukraine`s Polissia zone with positive development dynamics.
