IMPROVEMENT OF ECONOMIC RELATIONS BETWEEN ECONOMIC ENTITIES IN THE CHAIN OF ONION CULTIVATION

Abstract

This article studies the issues of improving economic relations between economic entities involved in the onion production chain - farms, cooperatives, processing enterprises, logistics operators and trade networks. The resource allocation, cooperation mechanisms, contractual relations, value added chain and value distribution along the supply chain are analyzed. During the study, existing problems are identified - post-harvest losses, market price volatility, limited marketing channels, and insufficient logistics and storage infrastructure. Practical proposals are developed to improve economic integration in the chain through farmer cooperation, agrologistics system, cluster-based management model, contractual relations, and state support mechanisms. The results of the study will serve to increase the profitability of onion production, coordinate the interests of economic entities, ensure competitiveness and food security.
