Relevance of the research topic. The study of the issue of organizational and economic directions of energy saving as a factor in increasing the capitalization of innovatively oriented agro– food enterprises in the conditions of safety management and changes in logistics is conditioned by the lack of a unified approach to the implementation of the algorithm of this process. Formulation of the problem. Capitalization of the intellectual work of innovatively oriented enterprises in the agro–food sector takes place through the capitalization of the profit obtained as a result of this work and the capitalization of intellectual property. Saving energy is an important component of accelerating the development of agrarian business and, as a result, increasing the capitalization of the economy, which in the conditions of security management and changes in logistics determines the relevance of the research topic. Setting the purpose and objectives of the study – to investigate the organizational and economic directions of energy saving as a factor in increasing the capitalization of innovatively oriented agro–food enterprises in the conditions of security management and changes in logistics. Research method or methodology. The article uses the following methods: monographic, economic–mathematical, economic–statistical, analysis and synthesis, systematization. Presentation of the main material (research results). The method of determining the cost price through the energy cost is proposed. Its application in practice will allow solving the problems of forecasting the future unit cost of production and increasing the capitalization of innovatively oriented agro–food enterprises in the conditions of security management and changes in logistics, which will simplify the issue of directions for the sale of finished products. Field of application of results. The results of the study can be used in practical activities for the implementation of organizational and economic directions of energy saving as a factor in increasing the capitalization of innovatively oriented enterprises of the agro–food sector in the conditions of safety management and changes in logistics. Conclusions on the article. It has been proven that determining the forecast cost and capitalization change of innovatively oriented enterprises in the agro–food sector due to aggregate energy costs reduces the share of the risk of receiving a loss from sales.
