The problem of rational distribution and territorial specialization of agricultural production is of a spatial global nature, which should take into account qualitative changes in agricultural production due to the need to ensure the country's food security, as well as the growth of Russia's export potential in the world food market. As you know, the irrational distribution and specialization of agricultural production do not contribute to an increase in profitability and highly efficient use of resources. At present, agricultural organizations are focused not so much on the rational distribution of production and specialization, as on the maximum profit, without taking into account the scientific foundations of location and specialization. The state is also not interested in the rational location and specialization of agricultural production due to the need to increase the quantitative indicators of the functioning of agricultural production. The problem of the location and specialization of agricultural production at the present stage of development of the agrarian economy does not allow the maximum use of the available resources of agricultural organizations, does not contribute to the optimization of interregional exchange, as well as regional food security. Meanwhile, according to experts, Russian agriculture is capable of providing food to 500 million people. This requires the implementation of scientific approaches to organizing the location and specialization of agricultural production, it is necessary to optimize interregional exchange, thereby reducing the costs of agricultural and processing industry products, and increasing the purchasing power of the population. Based on the available statistical material, this paper analyzes the location and specialization of agricultural organizations in federal districts, and also calculates the provision of basic food products. The study provides arguments for the additional introduction of agricultural land into circulation, solely to ensure food security and ensure rational nutritional standards for the population of the Russian Federation, without taking into account the increase in food exports.
The aim of the work is to analyze trends and factors of corporate venture financing of innovative technological projects in the agro-industrial complex, where the object of research is the system of financing innovative projects in the agro-industrial complex. The subject of the research is the factors influencing the development of corporate venture capital of agricultural enterprises. During the study, the following tasks were solved:- Analysis of the conditions and prerequisites for the development of corporate venture capital in the agro-industrial complex;- Study of problems in the system of financing innovative projects in the field of agro-industrial complex;- Analysis of trends in the development of corporate venture in the agricultural sector;- Determination of key indicators of corporate venture financing required in the development of an effective system for financing innovative projects. The research used methods of analysis and synthesis, statistical methods of analysis (correlation analysis).The paper shows the conditions and prerequisites for the development of corporate venture capital in the agro-industrial complex. Four key factors of corporate venture financing have been identified that significantly determine the innovative performance of the parent organization.
The reduction of spatial heterogeneity (differentiation) creates more favourable conditions for the development of the national market, the harmonization of socio-economic transformations, the formation of an all-Russian mentality at a qualitatively higher level, and the strengthening of the unity of the Russian state. On the contrary, increasing heterogeneity makes it difficult to carry out a unified policy of socio-economic transformations and the formation of a national market, increases the risks of regional crises and interregional conflicts, the disintegration of the national economy, and the weakening of the integrity of society and the state. The use of the program-target method of forecasting socio-economic indicators is currently the most effective, since the formation and execution of budgets of different levels of the budget system is also carried out by the program-target method. Ensuring the effectiveness of the system of budgetary relations is one of the most important state tasks. The unstable economic situation, which is typical for the present time, causes a shortage of financial resources at all levels of the budget system. Therefore, the issue of the competent organization of the allocation of budget resources is of particular relevance for ensuring socio-economic development. The study summarized the practice of local self-government development and identified the need for further improvement of legislation to strengthen the role of local self-government in solving socio-economic problems through financial mechanisms, combining the powers of local self-government bodies and the program-target method of budget formation. So, using the example of a specific municipality - the Kishertsky Municipal District of the Perm Territory, it was revealed that the relationship between the implemented programs and the indicators of its socio-economic development is quite close. In addition, many indicators of socio-economic development are reflected in several programs at once. It follows from the above that the process of regional development must be regulated and predicted.
The article is devoted to the analysis of the results of cadastral assessment of the average value of agricultural land at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation that are part of the Non-Black Earth Economic Zone, and comparison of land rents with the yield of the land user. General and private factors influencing the cadastral value of land have been investigated. Formal and informal rules and rules for the organization of the agricultural land market have been identified. Advantages and disadvantages of methodological approaches and methods of cadastral assessment are considered. The average value of land rents for non-Black Earth entities as a whole is calculated based on two methods: capitalization of rental income and market rent. The average value of land rents of the landowner is compared with the profit of the land user, taking into account government subsidies, per 1 hectare. It was established that the use of two calculation methods makes it possible to smooth out the overstatement of the current cadastral value in most regions of the non-Black Earth region. Economic instruments for regulating the profitability of the landowner and the land user are proposed by establishing at the legislative level a rent rate calculated from the cadastral value and a minimum lease period for land plots under state and municipal ownership.
In Russia the agrarian and industrial complex and the defense industry complex are two non-oil export-oriented diversified leaders who serve according to more than 140 and 100 industries. In third place in export leadership are IT technologies. The world is dominated by grain-potato nutrition and there is a clear trend in growing potato yields. Today, most domestic agricultural organizations and peasant farms do not have modern storage facilities and workshops for the processing of non-standard tubers for starch, cattle cleaning, equipment for washing food potatoes, packing and packaging, including vacuumizing a purified "hogweed" set. As a result, numerous intermediaries and resellers, processors and traders at the expense of poverty-stricken agricultural producers (up to 15-20‰ of agricultural property and agricultural property become unprofitable annually) increase their income by 2-3 times. The article considers organizational elements of the work of modern agricultural production and trade cooperatives (SPTC), created on the basis of small forms of economy, as well as agro-industrial enterprises (AP) and associations, organized on the basis of medium and large agricultural enterprises. It is possible to restore domestic seed production within 3-4 years, when industry research institutes (originators of varieties and hybrids) will transfer their breeding achievements to farm specialized seed-growing SPTC, which promising zoned varieties will be sold in all regions of Russia in their own trading network.
The relevance of the study is that in modern conditions, the sustainable development of grain production and sale on the market in the Siberian Federal District (SFD) largely depends on effective regulation. Grain relations reflect the current state and determine the prospective division of labour in the grain-product sub complex of the Siberian Federal District, the complementarity and interdependence of regional food complexes. They represent economic ties for the production, sale and exchange of grain and grain products between producers and consumers (livestock, population, etc.). These connections are manifested in the flows of grain and grain products from one region to another. The purpose of the study is to determine the most significant directions of development of grain production and market in the region for the medium term. The article shows the main grain-producing and grain-importing regions, as well as the volumes of grain resources that the SFD can supply to the market by 2025. The modern grain production by crops and regions of the Siberian Federal District for 2010 and 2020 is presented. The average prices of grain producers sold by agricultural organizations according to the subjects of the SFD of the Russian Federation are indicated. The main negative trends hindering the development of grain production and sale on the SFD market are identified. The directions necessary for the sustainable development of grain production, using administrative and financial regulatory measures, are presented.
The article is devoted to the study of problems of development of rural territories of the region in conditions of formation of agglomeration system. It was revealed that the intensive development of the coal mining industry is accompanied by negative environmental consequences associated with the impact on the socio-economic development and quality of life of the population of the region. The rural territories of the Russian Federation are its strategic resource, however, the lack of opportunity to satisfy its urgent needs, the difficult living conditions of the rural population, the isolation of rural settlements from scientific and technological achievements, the poor development of transport infrastructure and communications do not allow realizing their potential. Analyzing the decisions taken in recent years by the Government of the Russian Federation regulating the development of rural territories and the agro-industrial complex, we can conclude that the ideas on which the construction of state regulation of the agrarian industry is carried out have acquired a new qualitative approach. At the same time, the financial situation of the predominant part of the rural population does not allow the use of a system of mortgage lending for housing construction. The level of improvement of the rural housing stock is 2-3 times lower than the urban one. Coal mining entails a violation of land plots that are not subject to further use. It is accompanied by a high incidence of respiratory organs, oncological diseases that tend to grow. The resources allocated for the development of the social sphere do not significantly improve the living conditions of the rural population, expand the availability of social services and their quality to villagers. To solve the identified problems, it is proposed to create rural agglomerations.
The relevance of the research topic lies in the high role played by the development of infrastructure in rural areas. Infrastructure issues in rural areas are given great attention by the relevant state authorities and top officials of the country. The importance of infrastructure development in rural areas, its current lag behind the pace of development of the agro-industrial complex-all this has been repeatedly mentioned by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. Putin: «... the overall level of provision of rural areas with all types of landscaping, including water supply, heating, gas, and housing and communal services, is just over 34‰, while in cities it is almost 80‰», the President noted at a meeting of the State Council dedicated to the state's agrarian policy at the end of 2019. In May 2020, at a meeting on the situation in agriculture and the food industry, he reiterated the importance and need for high rates of infrastructure development in rural areas and the emergence of modern engineering networks. The aim of the research was to assess development prospects of engineering infrastructure in rural areas. Within the framework of the study, methods of comparative analysis, data comparison, and the method of constructing a trend line were used. Based on the forecast, the values of the target indicators (the level of gasification and the availability of drinking water in rural areas) were determined by 2025. In the course of the study, it was determined that, while maintaining the current pace, according to the departmental target program (DTP) «The modern look of rural areas» will not be possible to achieve the set targets for the level of gas supply (71,1‰) and water (79,5‰) by 2025, meanwhile according to «The sustainable development of rural areas» target indicators (61,9‰ and 67,3‰, respectively) are achievable. Based on the results obtained, were identified problems that have a negative impact on the achievement of the set targets.
The aim of the study is to assess and model the impact of agricultural production rates on the level and dynamics of rural unemployment in Russia. To analyze the relationship between production and unemployment, a modified Okun's model was used. Econometric analysis was carried out using panel data, the sample includes 78 regions, and the study period is 2000-2019. The results of the assessment indicate that the coefficient of elasticity is –0.13. This means that one percent increase in agricultural production leads to a 0.13 percentage point reduction in unemployment. The weak sensitivity of rural unemployment to changes in output is explained, first of all, by the declining share of agriculture in the structure of employment in rural areas. The intensification and digitalization of the agrarian economy is changing the nature of the output-unemployment relationship. In addition, the mechanism for adapting the agricultural labor market to economic changes includes not only an increase or decrease in the number of people employed in agriculture, but also a reduction in working hours, a decrease in the level or delays in wage payments. The reduction of rural unemployment will be facilitated, firstly, by ensuring the country's food independence, expanding the volume and diversifying the directions of food export. Secondly, the potential of import substitution in the domestic market has not been exhausted. Third, the expansion of the production of organic food will increase, because the demand for which increasing along with the growth of incomes of the population. Fourth, the development of non-agricultural types of employment base on the strategy of multifunctional development of rural areas. Fifth, support for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in rural areas. The data obtained can be used to develop regional strategies for sustainable development of rural areas.
The article discusses the problems of reproduction of the labor resources of the rural areas at the regional level, which affects their quantitative and qualitative characteristics. These problems are caused by a combination of economic, demographic, social and institutional factors. Based on the analysis carried out, authors present the most important modern problems of the reproduction of the labor resources of the region’s rural areas. The listed problems necessitate forecasting the reproduction of the labor resources of the rural areas as the basis for making management decisions in the field of regulation of the rural labor market and strategic planning of the development of rural areas. Proceeding from the fact that the main indicator of the state of the system of reproduction of the labor resources is employment, the article presents a forecast of the creation of new jobs in the countryside. The forecast is based on inertial, presupposing the retention of current trends, and innovative, based on the assumption of centralized goal-setting and planning of socio-economic development of the region’s rural areas, options. The forecast of possible quantitative imbalances between labor demand and labor supply in rural areas shows that both development options imply a shortage of labor resources in the rural economy of the Novosibirsk region. First of all, this will affect qualified specialists and representatives of non-agricultural professions. It is concluded that, even despite the increase in labor productivity, the rural areas of the regions of the Siberian Federal District will experience a shortage of personnel, which will reduce the pace of development. In this regard, state regulation of the rural labor market is necessary to bring its structure in line with the goals and objectives of the strategy for the development of rural areas of the region.
