On a methodological approach to the study of the supply of rural tourism services

The article describes a methodological approach to the study of the offer of rural tourism services. The relevance of the study is justified by the growing demand for rural tourism services in Russia associated with epidemiological, political, economic, and social conditions. It should be noted that in rural areas there are a sufficient number of infrastructure, culture, nature objects that are used extremely rarely, or remain unused on the ground. The proposed methodology has been tested on the materials of the Irkutsk region, since the region has great potential for the development of rural tourism and there is a problem of reducing the anthropogenic load on the Baikal territory. In addition, there is an Agrotourism grant in the region, under which a potential provider of rural tourism services can arrange an autonomous water supply system, connect tourist accommodation facilities under construction to water and electricity networks, purchase furniture and equipment. During the study of the offer of rural tourism services, a survey was conducted of the owners of various rural tourism facilities in the region, 70% of whom would like to engage in rural tourism, and 30% are already engaged. At the same time, the main type of rural tourism is educational with elements of agricultural (37%). At the same time, there are a number of negative aspects that can alienate tourists, for example, the lack of a well-equipped toilet and bath or the lack of mobile communication. Among the main factors hindering the development of rural tourism, respondents identified: insufficient understanding by people of the peculiarities, uniqueness and attractiveness of their "Small Homeland"; lack of bright successful and replicated examples; lack of a comprehensive system program of financial support for projects; weak interaction between rural tourism facilities, etc. Despite this, the development of rural tourism certainly has great prospects, both at the regional and federal levels. However, it is necessary to take into account the impact of negative factors (lack of qualified personnel, comfortable housing, marketing activities, etc.) and, if possible, eliminate them.

Improving governance of the development of rural tourism in the Krasnodar Region

In the article the need to optimize the system of state support for rural tourism, outlined in the framework of the national strategy implementation for the integrated development of rural areas, as well as regional programs to increase the employment of the rural population and increase the welfare of rural residents is proved. It is shown that the currently functioning mechanism of financial support for investment projects and stimulation of entrepreneurial initiatives in the agrotourism format predetermines the peripheral positioning of the tourist product of agricultural producers in the sanatorium-resort complex of the Krasnodar Region, the fixing of which is provided for in the long term. In order to overcome the identified institutional limitations, a flexible scheme of interdepartmental interaction has been proposed, with a specialized structural subdivision of the regional Ministry of Agriculture and Processing Industry as the central coordinating body. The expediency of transferring part of the powers to provide state support to rural tourism objects of local importance to municipal authorities is argued, which should contribute to the promotion of local brands and the growth of the competitiveness of tourist offers. At the same time, it is planned to improve the efficiency of state and municipal services through the introduction of a simplified procedure for the provision of subsidies and grants by representatives of agribusiness, consultations by employees of specialized services, as well as the adoption of additional measures to support small and medium-sized businesses in the countryside. Activation of managerial impact at the municipal level is provides for increasing the professionalism of employees of local governments in the framework of training seminars of the projected Competence Center in the field of rural tourism. The upgraded system of accounting, classification and systematization of rural tourism objects is recommended, taking into account their territorial location and species diversity. It has been determined that the use of information resources of regional and municipal authorities will enhance the multiplicative effects of rural tourism events on the economy of rural settlements.

Main Trends of Domestic Development Agricultural Mechanical Engineering

The article shows the dynamics of the development of agricultural machinery enterprises and notes their viability despite serious sanctions. In just eight months of last year, Russian manufacturers supplied agriculture with 121 new models of combines, tractors, trailed and other agricultural machinery. Last year, the share of Russian equipment in the domestic market increased to 60%. Many enterprises are conducting large investment projects to develop new types of equipment and deepen its localization. At the same time, the most acute problem faced by industrialists is the difficulties encountered with the supply of components for machinery. For until now, Russian manufacturers have been purchasing these components in the West. The analysis of the cost of production, for example, gearboxes abroad and here shows that without serious measures of state support, the domestic gearbox is almost twice as expensive as the foreign one. The main factors of the low cost of production of the gearbox abroad are also considered here. That is why we need stable support from the state not only for the largest machine-building enterprises, but also for small factories that are in a difficult situation. The article focuses on the development of innovative technologies. At the moment, the production of Russian agricultural machinery already has experience in the introduction of modern electronic systems and telemetry systems. It is necessary to make such modern technologies available to any farmer, and so that this technique can interact with each other and be integrated into a single information network. This is one of the most important technological tasks for the coming years. The article notes specific proposals for the successful development of the agricultural machinery industry.

Regional Features and Prospects for the Development of Digital Technologies in the Agro-Industrial Complex of the North Caucasus Federal District

The branches of the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation have been actively digitized in recent years. However, not all regions are yet able to actively introduce digital technologies into the practice of agricultural production, but it is with their application that the further development of the agro-industrial complex and the economy of the North Caucasus Federal District as a whole are connected. The article deals with the issues of the transition of the agricultural sectors of the North Caucasus Federal District to a more active use of progressive IT technologies for the intensification of agricultural production and other sectors of the agro-industrial complex. Currently, the regional "Digital Transformation Strategy" of the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District does not imply active digitalization of the industry due to certain circumstances of the actual state of the industry. It is important to identify these reasons and create effective prerequisites for preparing the agro-industrial complex of the region for intensification based on the digital component. The work uses aspect, analytical and empirical approaches to problem solving, the study of scientific literature, generalization, comparative analysis. The study is based on scientific and analytical works of domestic scientists, specialists, materials from various analytical publications, reporting data from statistical collections of the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo and the National Research University Higher School of Economics on the digitalization of various sectors of the economy. The study identifies factors that impede the immediate active introduction of digital technologies in the agro-industrial complex of the North Caucasus Federal District, proposes priority areas of activity in the field of state regulation, stimulating the creation of immediate conditions for the effective implementation, promotion and sustainable functioning of modern computer technologies in the regional agro sphere based on the use of full coverage of high-speed Internet in rural areas. territories, creation and modernization of an extensive infrastructure, stimulation of the technical re-equipment of production enterprises, renewal of production assets, solving the issue of a lack of specialized personnel and retraining of specialists and managers of enterprises in the agro-industrial complex of the region.

Fundamentals of Digital Transformation of Food Supply Chains

The article is devoted to the problems of digital transformation of the food supply chain. The need for digital transformation in the agricultural volume sphere is justified. The main facts that contribute to the digitalization of the agricultural sector were ggeneralized. The essence and content of the terms "economic relations" and "supply chains" in relation to the agro-industrial complex are disclosed. The stages of evolutionary development of the process of informatization and automation in agribusiness are established. Institutional condition-view, technical and humanitarian prerequisites for digital transformation of the agrarian economy is justified. It is shown that, thanks to the digitalization of technological processes and automating information collecting information on products, it is possible to use the effect of scale in agribusiness and partially level the negative impact of the human factor and opportunistic-stylish behaviour of hired workers. The sanctions policy, pursuing the Covid-19 pandemic against the Russian Federation from the Russian Federation from the Russian Federation from the part of the unfriendly countries, along with significant problems and challenges, gave a significant impetus to the development of electronic trade online, which contributed to the strengthening of economic relations in the food sphere between domestic producers. The conceptual foundations of the digital transformation of various types of food supplies are justified with the main factors of their evolutes’ development. An analysis of the state of digitalization of the supply chain at the level of the hierarchy and the life cycle of production from the field to the counter were held. Ensuring access to digital technologies for enterprises of small forms of management, farmers and other rural enterprises can provide them with significant competitive advantages, use rural labour, build network partnerships, get a support for auxiliary services, such as training, financial and financial and financial Legal services, facilitate the output of products to the consumer. The advantage of the use of the Block chain digital technology and the distributed register to control the execution of contracts on the supply circuit was carried out.

Prospects for Development Today's Grain Exports

The article deals with the development of exports of agricultural raw materials and foodstuffs. The authors emphasize that in the context of achieving self-sufficiency indicators for various types of food, increasing exports is a necessary condition for the effective and balanced development of specific sub-sectors of the agro-industrial complex. At the same time, in modern conditions, it is important not only to create a new commercial mass of agro-food products, but also to eliminate trade barriers and form an effective system for promoting products to foreign markets. An important problem of increasing the export of domestic products is to increase its competitiveness. Assessment of the competitiveness of cereals, based on the analysis of a system of indicators: the volume of exports of products and the share occupied by domestic export products in the world market; export prices for agricultural raw materials and foodstuffs, both in Russia and in its main exporting countries; coefficient of revealed comparative advantage, revealed that wheat and barley currently have competitive advantages, both in terms of price factors and in terms of volumes of products exported to the world market. At the same time, the reserves of its competitiveness have been largely exhausted, which necessitates an increase in the efficiency of production and logistics, as well as state support for the industry. In order to determine the prospects for the development of domestic grain exports, the volumes of their supplies to the main importing countries were studied with the identification of our main competitors in these markets. On this basis, priority directions for the development of exports of domestic products of the agro-industrial complex are substantiated, taking into account the current geopolitical situation.
