At the heart of digital transformation of the agro-industrial complex of the region should be a digital ecosystem functioning with the help of a specialized platform. The digital ecosystem in the agro-industrial complex of the region is understood by the authors as a client-centric business model that combines several groups of products, services, and information on a single digital platform to meet the final needs of ecosystem participants. The main elements of the digital ecosystem are agro-sharing, processing, marketing and agro-tourism. Its participants are agricultural producers, processing enterprises, rural residents and summer residents, municipal authorities, peasant (farmer) farms and individual entrepreneurs. The interaction between the participants should be carried out using a digital platform, which, for example, allows you to see agricultural machinery or processing facilities available in the municipal area and send an application for their use. The addition of the digital ecosystem with such an element as agro tourism will provide an opportunity not only for additional earnings for agricultural producers, but also for attracting the urban population to rural areas. The article schematically presents the digital ecosystem of the agro-industrial complex of the region. The creation of such an ecosystem, firstly, will increase the efficiency of agro-industrial production, secondly, it will increase the incomes of rural residents, and thirdly, it will ensure direct supplies of manufactured products to sales markets.
This article is devoted to clarifying the content of the concepts of economic mechanism and organizational and economic mechanism in the system of other fundamental economic concepts. Despite the extremely large number of works where these concepts are used, their economic content, and, most importantly, the relationship of these concepts in the system with the concepts of institutions, economic interests and incentives, production relations, economic phenomena, laws and regularities, do not seem to be fully elucidated. Abstract-logical method, systemic approach, a number of provisions of political economy, classical economic theory, new institutional theory, theory of economic mechanisms are used. We proceed from the definition of the concept of "mechanism" as a set of bodies (links), successively transmitting motion from one moving link to another with a repeating result. This allows formulating the definition of an economic mechanism as a sequence (a chain or several interconnected chains) of interrelated recurring economic phenomena that lead to a certain result. At the same time, it is necessary to distinguish between economic mechanisms that exist objectively and are not dependent on the subjective intentions of persons acting in the economy (people and / or organizations), and economic mechanisms that are consciously formed to obtain certain results. Economic mechanisms can be distinguished by science or practice in various ways - by industry or by territorial principle, by management functions or some economic processes, by acting subjects, which also have their own mechanisms of influence in the economy, or by subjects. Consequently, the number of isolated mechanisms can be, generally speaking, very large, potentially infinite. Economic mechanisms are important for theory and practice because they form economic incentives and influence economic interests. Analyzing the relationship between the concepts of economic mechanisms and production (economic) relations, the author came to the conclusion that production relations are such mutual objective relations arising in social production that form the rights and obligations of each of the parties for some specific reason in the course of production activities. The concept of production relations is more abstract than the concept of institutions - formal and informal rules of action for people and organizations in the economy. At the same time, certain institutions that characterize rights and obligations form the forms and content of certain production relations. Production relations, in turn, shape the economic interests of people. Thus, economic mechanisms, on the one hand, are an important link on the basis of which economic laws and regularities are formed, and, on the other hand, they form incentives for people's economic actions. A figure showing the dialectical relationships of these concepts is presented.
Innovations form the basis of the development of the modern economy. Currently, advanced scientific, technical and technological developments have been created in Russia, there is a positive experience in the development of production. However, not in all regions and not in all agro-industrial organizations, these achievements are properly applied. This situation is due to many factors noted by scientists and specialists of the agro-industrial complex. Several of the main ones is international, financial and personnel problems. In this regard, governing bodies at all levels need to take into account both well-known requirements for the formation and development of a management system and its constituent elements, and specific for the management of innovation, including a set of organizational, economic, administrative and other mechanisms of influence on certain structures engaged in the development of new technics and technologies for agro-industrial production, stimulating producers to introduce modern scientific and technical achievements, to master information technologies, to train qualified personnel for the successful implementation of technological and other operations, to carry out communication interactions, decision-making, etc. For the successful implementation of technical, technological, organizational, economic, industrial and other innovations in the conditions of digitalization of the agro-industrial complex, financial, qualified labour and information resources are required. Their availability largely depends on state support and the effectiveness of state regulation, the development of the education system and the use of digital technologies in agriculture.
The article examines the results of auctions for 2021 for the purchase and sale of agricultural land plots owned by the state or municipal property of the Russian Federation. The analysis of the information posted on the state portal in the unified information system of the Russian Federation made it possible to estimate the scale of transactions in the context of federal districts based on the grouping of land plots by area, cadastral value, form of ownership of land plots sold at auction. The results of completed and failed transactions, transactions with one participant are considered. The comparison of the initial and final cost of land plots with their cadastral value, both in absolute value and per 1 ha. The degree of deviation of the specified cost values is investigated. Examples of completed transactions of purchase and sale of land plots, the value of which significantly deviated from the cadastral value, are given. There is a pattern - with an increase in the number of land plots put up for auction and their areas, the final unit cost of plots (per 1 hectare) decreases;
The consumption of milk and dairy products by the population of the Russian Far East remains very low, and by 2020 is 59%. At the same time, on the territory of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District, there is an insufficient level of workload of the production capacities of existing processing enterprises. So JSC "Blagoveshchensk Dairy Plant" geographically located in the Amur region uses its production capacity by 46.0%. The practice of interaction with the company revealed the main problem - the lack of raw materials. In turn, the analysis of the factors hindering the development of the dairy sector in the Amur region revealed as a determining factor – the lack of own financial resources for agricultural producers to invest in the implementation of new investment projects. The weight of the factor among others is 87%. The proposed conceptual approach to the integrated organization of feed production and use in cattle breeding was used in the development of an investment project for the construction of a livestock complex for 2400 cows. The project was developed taking into account the interest of the state in meeting the needs of the population in dairy products, JSC "Blagoveshchensk Dairy Plant" in expanding the raw material base, and JSC "Luch" in the development of production activities. Due to the increase in the supply of milk for processing, the use of production capacities will increase from 46.0% to 67.9%, the volume of production by 47.7%. By saving fixed costs, expanding the volume of production and sales of products, an additional income of 134711 thousand roubles is projected, the profitability of products will increase by 2.5%. About 20 kg of dairy products will be added to the market of milk and dairy products per capita.
The article assesses measures to maintain the financial stability of agricultural organizations in the Altai Territory. A grouping of agricultural organizations that received state support was carried out, according to the level of profitability. The costs of agricultural organizations in the region for servicing attracted loans and borrowings are shown. The results of the program of financial rehabilitation of agricultural organizations in the region are given. A methodology has been developed for the distribution of agricultural organizations into 5 groups of financial stability based on an assessment of the level of solvency and dependence on external creditors.
In the pandemic conditions chains of delivery of the food and agricultural production between the countries were broken. Number of undernourished people in the world increased. UN recommends using inclusive development of productive and agricultural systems in the food provision of the population. This will contribute to the growth of the agrarian production and quality of rural population nutrition. In 2022 the aggravation of geopolitical crisis, introduction of sanctions against Russia, necessity in protection of the domestic markets led to the decrease of volume of trade between the countries. FAO supposes that there will be a provision crisis in the world. In such conditions the achievement of Russian independence in food provision of all main products increases. The fundamentals of national food security form in the subjects of federation. Therefore, strategic planning of agricultural production by the regions, processing of products, interregional exchange of food and its export become topical. Productive and agricultural system including the agricultural sector and processing industry is the most regionally oriented production system. Stability of its functioning is interdependent and connected with social and economic development of the regions. Therefore, forming of the developmental strategy of the productive and agricultural systems should be coordinated with the development of sectors included in it, and territories of the production location, as well as strategy of social and economic development of the region. This stipulates the necessity of integrative strategizing. National food system needs stability. Forming of interventional funds of long-term storage food will help the domestic food market to function persistently in the conditions of increased demand. Creation of conditions for the realization of the produced food on the economies of the population will contribute to the growth of self-sufficiency of the regions in terms of provision and increase of incomes of the rural population.
The article presents the results of a study developing the author's developments in the field of the problems of living standards, the relevance of which is enhanced in the conditions of socio-economic consequences in connection with the new challenges for our country in 2022. Using the original tools, the authors assessed the standard of living (current consumption) for urban and rural socio-demographic groups: youth, middle and older generation and their segments, differing in household composition and type of residence. Quantitative identification was carried out and two models of distribution of socio-demographic groups were obtained: by income used for consumption and by monetary income, formed on the basis of comparing the actual characteristics of current consumption with the author's system of social standards. The differences in the prevalence of standards of different levels of material wealth identified in these models are revealed, consisting in a wider representation of the disadvantage determined by the income used for consumption. It is shown that the rural population is distinguished by higher risks of being among the poor and low-income compared to the urban population. It is revealed that both in the city and in the countryside, among young people, middle and older generations, a more prosperous distribution of material wealth has developed among single and married couples without children, while the expansion of the composition of households and the presence of minor children in them worsen this distribution, significantly reducing the chances of achieving middle and higher standards of material wealth. Based on the conducted research, the categories of the population that require improvement of measures of their support from the state, society and employers are identified. Acknowledgments: the research was carried out at the expense of a grant from the Russian Science Foundation No. 22-28-01043, https://rscf.ru/en/project/22-28-01043/.
For more than 200 years in our country, with varying frequency and effectiveness, the state has been trying to raise the level of development of rural areas, reducing the differences between urban and rural populations as much as possible. The purpose of the work is to study the existing mechanism of rural development. Currently, a program-targeted approach is mainly used for the development of rural areas. In the process of studying the opinions of scientists on the issue under study, the authors revealed that many of them emphasize the need to improve the mechanism of rural development. A number of scientists focus on the application of a differentiated approach to the development of rural areas. Within the framework of the study, the interrelation of the main normative legal acts regulating the development of rural territories was structured. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the state program "Integrated development of rural territories" implemented in the country, as well as the main directions and corresponding tools for the development of rural territories are considered. The first results of the state program "Integrated rural development" in the Novosibirsk region are analyzed. Taking into account the specifics of the financing of the program under consideration (co-financing by the municipality), the need to stimulate various kinds of local initiatives is highlighted. In this case, it seems appropriate to use civil society institutions (CBT, NGOs, and resource centers). As an example, the project of the foundation "Siberian Center for Support of Public Initiatives" is considered, implemented in order to increase the number of local initiatives and the involvement of residents in them. As a result, the authors came to the conclusion that only the joint efforts of the state, business and local initiatives will contribute to the development of rural areas.
In the article, the author substantiates the need for the introduction of digital technologies in agriculture, in particular, in the mechanism of grain production. Based on the analysis of the current state of digitalization of the industry, both in the whole country and in the regional context, the author provides recommendations for stimulating the introduction of digital technologies in the grain production of the region. In particular, it is proposed to create a regional resource center on the basis of Novosibirsk State Agrarian University, which, accumulating the best practices of using digital technologies, will be able to offer ready-made solutions to agricultural producers. We believe that the creation of a resource center will make it possible to more systematically implement digital solutions in grain production: accumulate certain best ready-made solutions for implementation, which will then be used by other agricultural producers, purposefully train personnel, both directly for agricultural production and for the development of appropriate software, conclude contracts and agreements of a certain nature (which in the conditions of the center will be more appropriate and convenient than in the framework of a single grain production). In addition, the proposed solution will allow digitalization of agriculture in the region at a faster pace and at the lowest cost.
