Agrarian processing industry as a guarantor of food security in the region

Abstract

The article singles out various clusters of EU geopolitical subjects for food production. The research touches upon the ranking carried out on the basis of the share of processed goods in the structure of the EU, which makes it possible to assess the contribution to ensuring the food security of the members of the Union. Seven indicators of the production of processed goods in 2016 were selected for the current analysis. As a result, the authors of the article have identified and analysed geopolitical subjects that determine the stability of the EU agricultural production, namely the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Romania, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Sweden and others. It has been noted that opportunities for industrial cooperation and development of coordinated policies on various areas of interaction are increasing within the framework of the associations.
