DETERMINING THE COST OF GRAIN CROPS DURING FORENSIC COMMODITY EXAMINATION

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to develop proposals and practical recommendations for determining the cost of grain crops during forensic commodity examination based on a comprehensive analysis of theoretical provisions, normative legal acts and systems of technical regulation. Methodology. The reliability of the results and conclusions is ensured through a system of general scientific and specific methods of discovery. The comparative legal method is used to investigate the main approaches to regulation of the grain crops circulation and quality; the systemic structural method is employed to determine the essence of the concept and characteristics of grain quality; the analysis and synthesis methods supported the identification and research of the features of grain crop classification by various features; the method of generalization was used to identify and characterize the factors affecting the cost of grain, which the expert must take into account for the purposes of forensic commodity assessment; and analytical methods allowed for a formulation of conclusions of the study. Scientific novelty. The main features of determining the cost of grain crops during the forensic commodity assessment in the context of the application of special knowledge are systematized and substantiated. Classification of grain crops by purpose is clarified by two positions – grain for export and seeds (sowing material). Conclusions. The regulatory framework on the circulation of agricultural, in particular grain, products, comprises the laws of Ukraine and regulations, and the system of technical regulations includes
the national standards of Ukraine, to a certain extent harmonized with international requirements, technical regulations, and verification procedures concerning specific types of grain or seeds that require further harmonization.
The peculiarities of determining the cost of grain crops during the forensic commodity examination are determined through the application of specific commodity expertise and other knowledge. The article characterizes and systematizes factors that determine the peculiarities of determining the cost of grain crops during the forensic commodity examination. The main part of the article includes proposals and practical recommendations for determining
the value of grain crops during the forensic commodity examination, which may be the basis for the development
of relevant techniques and methodological recommendations.
