Abstract


The high level of import of vegetable seeds negatively affects the indicators of resource self-sufficiency of agricultural sectors. At the same time, the development of the vegetable seeds market requires significant financial investments in this segment and analysis of their further payback based on scientific approaches. The purpose of the article. To develop methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of import flows in relation to vegetable seeds. The object of research is vegetable seeds, the value chain in vegetable growing. Methods used in research. The theoretical and methodological basis for the study was the works of domestic and foreign scientists on import and import-substituting production. The following methods were used in the research process: monographic, abstract-logical, normative, synthesis and system analysis, etc. The hypothesis of the study. Import flows of vegetable seeds take place in the Republic of Belarus in the presence of a certain list of conditions, which requires justification of their expediency. Presentation of the main material. The article presents the author's position regarding the development of scientific and methodological approaches to assessing the feasibility of implementing import flows of vegetable seeds. Originality and practical value. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the development of a comprehensive assessment of the feasibility of zoning a certain variety of vegetables of Belarusian selection for individual management entities or its import on the basis of a number of factors and criteria. Conclusions. The development of the Belarusian market of vegetable seeds involves a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of seed zoning, which includes the costs of conducting scientific research and ending with the effectiveness of vegetable cultivation and their subsequent processing.
