The article is devoted to studying the theoretical aspects of material resources. The purpose of this article is to study the modern approaches to the understanding of the category «material resources». Methodology. In the article general methods of analysis and the theory of knowledge were used: comparison, grouping, table, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction etc. Results. The theoretical basis of the study was the work of domestic and foreign scientists, publications in scientific journals. In the article generalization of all known views of scientists regarding the definition of material resources and their understanding are provided. Originality. The author identified the following features of material resources: they constitute the objects and means of labor; they are the sum of fixed and current assets; they are tangible; they are the base of resource provision of the company; they have been used in the production process for a long time; they transfer their value to the cost of production; they can be defined as a commodity.
