The article presents the results of research into the effectiveness of working capital management in the food industry. The research was carried out within a set of 30 sectors (classes) of the food industry in the period from 2005 to 2009, on the basis of unpublished data of the Central Statistical Office. The effectiveness of working capital management was assessed using the inventory, receivables and payables cycle and the cash conversion cycle as well as with regard to the rates of return achieved on assets and own capital. The research indicated that in sectors where the cycles mentioned were the shortest the rates of return were the highest. The advantageous impact of shortened working capital cycles on economic viability was also verified by means of the correlation and regression analysis.

Results of reforms in the agrarian sector of Ukraine in the post-Soviet years, following the neoliberal doctrine, are analyzed. In fact, these reforms were aimed at liquidation of large collective farms, which was supposed to push mass-scale development of farming in Ukraine. As a result of reformers' incompetence, the agrarian sector was plundered, as a heavy share of its resources was redistributed in favor of financial and trade capital. Effects of the reforms were technological degradation (deindustrialization), leading to heavy reduction in the agricultural output, in cattle-breeding in the first place, massive inflow of imported foods to Ukraine. But the most serious consequences of reforms in agriculture were the social ones (that concerned the Ukrainian population as a whole), which is proved by statistical data on decrease and demography trends in Ukraine. Finding solutions to many problems to revive the Ukrainian agrosector and adopt the innovation model in it requires adequate scientific support. It is shown by official statistical data and expert opinion, that Ukraine has a large scientific potential in the agrarian sector, although reduced in relation to 1991. Moreover, the agrarian research in financed predominantly from the budget (75%) unlike the research as a whole (39%), but is very weakly commercialized. A strategy for scientifically grounded reform of the Ukrainian agriculture is proposed, which will involve research component, financial regulation for enhancing innovation stimuli as well as re-organization, to enhance facility supply and technological support of the sector.
