Neoindustrialization of agricultural production in Russia: economic essence and specifics of implementation

In the context of a massive sanctions policy against Russia by "unfriendly" states, the implementation of a new industrialization of the country's agricultural production is a key ideologeme of its effective functioning. The article presents a model of interaction between the state, science and business for the purposes of neoindustrialization of agricultural production. The economic essence of the new industrialization is revealed, which boils down to the transfer of the industry to an industrial basis, the creation of large-scale machine and robotic agricultural production with its corresponding provision (in the required quantity and assortment) with chemical means. It is established that the provision of agricultural producers with machinery, trailed machines remains at a low level. In this regard, in order to carry out neoindustrialization, it is necessary to stimulate the localization of the production of technical means, critical components, diversify the geographical import of machinery, equipment and components, and provide cheap credit for the development of their own machine-building industries. It is shown that the use of resource-saving technologies should be accompanied by an increase in soil fertility, taking into account the biological characteristics of varieties, hybrids of agricultural crops and animal breeds, which are associated with the use of optimal rates of fertilization and other means of chemicalization. It is proved that the decisive role in the neoindustrialization of agricultural production should belong to development institutions: JSC "Rosagroleasing", JSC "Russian Agricultural Bank" and agrobiotechnoparks created by the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia.

Implementation of the development strategy of the agro-industrial complex of the Donetsk People's Republic

The article discusses issues aimed at improving the effectiveness of the implementation of the strategy for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Donetsk People's Republic in the current conditions of unstable economic conditions and new challenges associated with the geopolitical situation. The characteristic of the unsolved problem is given, which consists in the need to take into account in the implementation of the strategy of the functioning of the branches of the agro-industrial complex, and, in particular, those enterprises of agriculture and food industry that are in the territories liberated during a special military operation. Due to the increase in the population and the amount of cultivated land, the development strategy requires changes, taking into account both these factors and the goals and objectives aimed at ensuring food security and social guarantees of the citizens of the Republic. To assess the implementation of the strategy for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Donetsk People's Republic and the achievement of results according to the indicated indicators, an analysis of the state of the industry and a comparison of the indicators actually achieved in 2021 with indicative ones were carried out. The analysis showed a slight deviation on the 23rd indicators. The largest number of deviations was revealed in the livestock industry. Based on the analysis, proposals have been developed to eliminate the identified deviations in the dynamics of key strategic indicators of agribusiness efficiency. Solving the problems outlined in the article within the framework of the development strategy will create conditions for the growth of key performance indicators for the long term, as well as implement previously planned tasks.

Sustainable growth and innovative development of the Russian agro-industrial complex in the face of sanctions pressure from western countries

Now the agro-industrial complex is in the stage of active development, which was facilitated by appropriate measures of financial support from the state. Over the past 10 years, over 2.5 trillion rubles have been allocated to support the agro-industrial complex, 1.5 thousand projects have been implemented, 80% of which have reached the stage of serial production. At the beginning of 2022, according to the criterion of the value added that is produced in the agro–industrial complex, the country ranks fifth in the world ranking (4.4 trillion rubles) and seventh in terms of attracted investments. One of the main factors guaranteeing food security is the excess of food exports over imports. The import of agricultural raw materials has decreased 1.6 times over the past 10 years. For the first time in the last 30 years, by the end of 2020, exports of food and raw materials from Russia exceeded imports. One of the urgent problems remains the development of its own seed industry. There is still a high level of import dependence in animal husbandry on foreign genetic material. Currently, a wide range of state financial support for these agricultural sectors has been launched: incentive subsidies, short-term and investment concessional lending, compensation for direct costs of modernization and creation of seed and breeding centers. The main goal of the agro-industrial complex is to ensure sustainable growth of the agricultural sector by 3% per year, but in order to achieve such growth, about 1 trillion rubles must be allocated to the industry annually. The state has such funds, it is the National Welfare Fund, in which 11 trillion rubles are placed today, and export customs duties from the sale of agricultural products, which in the amount of about 2.5 trillion rubles annually go to the budget.

Evaluation of the implementation of public-private partnership projects in agriculture of the Russian Federation

The article assesses the implementation of projects in the agriculture of the Russian Federation, implemented within the framework of partnerships, and in particular, the mechanism of public-private partnership. In the context of limited budgetary reserves, the implementation of infrastructure projects in agriculture imposes a certain burden on the economy of the country (region), which requires the activation of additional funds for investment, which can be executed by attracting private capital. In this regard, it is necessary to develop a set of measures aimed at improving the infrastructure of the Russian agro-industrial complex, the transition to advanced technologies and forms of agricultural production, and an accelerated approach to world achievements in this industry. Therefore, it is necessary to create modern innovative projects that will serve as the basis for ensuring sustainable socio-economic development and food security of the country. The solution to the issue of stimulating innovative activity in the agricultural sector should be the participation of the state and business on the principles of public-private partnership. At the same time, based on the cluster organization of production, it is possible to achieve a synergistic effect from the implementation of such projects. Based on such methods of scientific knowledge as synthesis, analogy, SWOT analysis, graphical analysis, generalization, the authors were able to assess the implementation of public-private partnership projects in the agrarian sector of the Russian Federation, on the basis of which to determine the constraints and prerequisites for the development of such projects in our country . On the example of an agrarian region - the Republic of Dagestan, a typical model of a cluster organization of a PPP project in the agro-industrial complex is proposed on the example of a fruit and vegetable canning cluster in the Republic of Dagestan. The conclusions should include the fact that public-private partnership can become an effective mechanism for organizing interaction between the state and business in various sectors of the economy, including agriculture.

Problems of assessing the food security of the region

The article discusses various approaches and indicators for assessing the food security of the region. The authors propose an algorithm that can be used to assess food of the region, and also present the results of its testing on the example of the Kaliningrad region. The considered approaches were systematized and described in order to identify the advantages and disadvantages of each of them in order to develop an approach for a comprehensive assessment of the food security of the region. As a result of the conducted research, the dynamics of changes in the volume of production and consumption of basic foodstuffs by the population was revealed, the main indicators of food security were calculated, and the level of security of the region, which can be characterized as low, was determined. One of the main threats to the security of the region is a decrease in the degree of economic accessibility. The assessment of the food import coverage ratio indicates a high level of dependence of the region on imports, which is also a potential threat to the security of the region. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the developed methodological approach made it possible to comprehensively assess the food security of the region. This study allows us to classify threats to food security, allows us to improve the information and analytical base for the development of measures to prevent or neutralize the negative impact on the regional economy of threats to food security in the region.

Methodology for identifying and evaluating cluster parameters grain product subcomplex in agglomeration microzones

Enterprises included in the core of the cluster must have a stable financial position to avoid bankruptcy, since their expediency is determined not only by "direct" indicators of the performance of production activities, such as yield, income, production capacity, sown areas, but also by "indirect" indicators that ensure continuity and the safety of the operation of the enterprise is a sufficient supply of labor and a stable increase in equity capital. According to the views of G. Ellison and E. Glaser, F. Marell and B. Sedillot, the relevance of the concentration of microzone production and the presence of agglomeration contributes to the formation of a cluster. In the future, cluster formations in Russia may become a prerequisite for reducing unemployment, concentrating capital and increasing the profitability of agricultural formations. Based on the accumulation algorithm, an economic assessment of the effective functioning of the cluster system was carried out and the areas of the Saratov region most favourable for the formation of the core of the grain product cluster were identified. The hypothesis of the relevance of the production concentration of the micro zone was confirmed by the indicators of the "strength" of agglomeration - the average coefficients are 0.04 and 0.05 points, which corresponds to an average and stable concentration. It should be noted that these characteristics indicate the possibility of forming separate cluster formations in the grain economy on the right and left banks of the region, which is a positive trend for increasing the level of food security in the region and forming export potential.

The mechanism of state support for the development of industrial grain processing to increase export of finished products

The relevance of a subject of a research is caused by strategic importance of ensuring transition of economy of the Russian Federation (RF) to the new industrial and technological level of functioning. This task set as well before the agrarian sector of Russia, directly concerns branch of crop production as results of activity of a number of regions it is characterized by excess production and export of agricultural raw materials (mainly wheat seeds). For its decision the Government of the Russian Federation approved the Strategy of development for agro-industrial and fishery complexes of Russia until 2030 reflecting the priority directions of improvement of their activity in the medium term, one of which is modernization of the sphere of food and processing industry of the country for the purpose of increase in volumes of production with high added value and expansions of its range in domestic and foreign markets. As tools measures of customs tariff and non-tariff regulation of foreign economic activity of economic entities of Russia which cause a set of a controversy among a number of experts and producers of agricultural products were developed for the mechanism of high-quality changes. In work taking into account the interests of domestic producers correction of the acting mechanism of a grain damper on the basis of calculation of an indicator of admissible volume of selling of raw materials abroad and differences between indicative (world) and internal market the prices and also costs of export logistics is offered. The approaches to subsidizing of the enterprises of primary and deep (industrial) processing of grain (on the example of the Saratov region) directed to stimulation of their development and assuming allocation of criteria of redistribution of the state support on volumes of production, a prime cost covering, profitability level are proved. Formulas of calculation of optimum volumes of the budgetary resources for achievement of an indicator of level of profitability of the industry on average up to 42% are presented.
