Abstract: The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of labour resources on the efficiency of agricultural production and ensuring food self-sufficiency of territorial communities of the Mykolaiv Oblast. The methodology was based on the results of a survey among respondents working in the agricultural sector. Statistical data were used to assess the impact of labour resources on production activities. The study showed that 70% of respondents consider labour resources extremely important for ensuring their production activities. This highlights the importance of human capital in contemporary business environment. Among the main factors affecting productivity, 45% of respondents noted the role of technologies that automate processes and increase production efficiency. In addition, 30% of respondents indicated the qualifications of employees, which indicates the need for constant training and development of personnel to achieve high results. Another 25% of respondents indicated working conditions that include both physical and psychological aspects of the work environment. This indicates that the development of labour resources is directly related to improving the efficiency of agricultural production, since investment in people and their training can significantly affect the overall success of enterprises in this area. The results of the study confirmed the importance of investing in labour resources and their development in achieving food self-sufficiency. Improving the skills of employees and technological working conditions can significantly increase the productivity of the agricultural sector. This study is of practical importance for local self-government bodies and agricultural producers seeking to improve the efficiency of their activities
