Problems related with ecological effects of the operation of agricultural enterprises are analyzed. Statistical rating evaluation of regions from the perspective of ecological effects is made. The ranks derived from the calculations range from 0 to 1, which enables to evaluate the condition of each Ukrainian region, a group of regions, and to derive the “average region” value by use of relative distance scales. The statistical data obtained from official statistical observations (absolute and relative data) and the results of the calculations do not include the temporary occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the city of Sevastopol and a part of the antiterrorist operation area. The integral ecological estimate of the operation of agricultural enterprises is derived for each of 24 Ukrainian regions and for Ukraine as a whole (in the latter case the estimated value is 0.416). The variation pattern of the integral estimate is analyzed; the two groups of the regions by ecological effects from the operation of agricultural enterprises are identified: the regions with ranks higher than the country average, and the regions with ranks lower than the country average. The statistical-ecological rating evaluation of the regions is made by statistical indicators reflecting ecological effects from the agricultural production in Ukraine, statistical-ecological ranking of the regions is made, and the matrix of ecological ranks of the regions is built. The rating evaluation is made, enabling to determine the position of each region by ecological effects of the operation of agricultural enterprises. It is highlighted that indicators of land resources use is an essential criteria for evaluation of ecological effects from the operation of agricultural enterprise. Trends in the indicators of land resources use are shown.
