A practical tool for decision support is the graphical model reflecting the decision problem of its structure, to formulate and to obtain the exact mathematical solution in the form of precise assessment. The aim of the paper is to present characteristics of the role of this theory in agribusiness enterprises and its impact on the agricultural sector. In the research paper, the descriptive and comparative methods were used. The paper presents general overview of the importance of the graph theory and nets. The authors underline that it is a crucial issue for many areas of science. Scientific interest in networks has a long tradition and is associated with the emergence of graph theory in mathematics. Another area of research for graphs and networks is social network analysis. The transfer of network theory to the field of logistics is related to the companies striving to develop supply, production and distribution, and to increase the effects of cooperation between companies. Regardless of organizational and legal conditions, enterprises become participants in so-called logistics networks. In order to explain the concept of logistic network, the authors have used − graph theory. The authors’ research has shown the application of the theory in agribusiness.
