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.
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.
The need for a study of the welfare of the population is dictated by its importance for ensuring effective state and municipal governance. The existing natural, socio-economic, ecological, demographic differences of the subjects of the North Caucasus Federal District are expressed in the level of socio-economic potential of each of them, as well as the effectiveness of its use. All this underlies demographic growth, economic development of the territory and improvement of the welfare of the population, which, in the conditions of external negative impact and internal special attention, require systematic research today. The sources of information are information generated during statistical observation and sample surveys of the population. Their results allow for a more in-depth analysis of the achieved level of well-being of the population, to identify existing problems and possible ways to resolve them. An algorithm for assessing the welfare of the population by structures: income, expenditure, resources, consumption and indices is proposed.
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.
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.
In the conditions of global instability, the influence of global trends and the disruption of existing interstate relations, state bodies face two important tasks There are ensuring the effective development of the agricultural industry and the physical and economic accessibility of the population to food products with high quality characteristics and in assortment. The article gives an assessment of the current state of development of agro-industrial production and the agro-food market in Siberia. The rates of development of production and consumption of basic foodstuffs per capita in the regions of the district have been determined. The indicators of the provision of the Siberian Federal District (actual capacity of demand, level of self-sufficiency, potential capacity of demand, degree of saturation of the food market in terms of demand) are calculated for the main food products produced in the regions of the district (grain, potatoes, vegetables, milk, meat, livestock and poultry, eggs). A cluster analysis was carried out using the SPSS program (version 22.0) by the Ward method, the results of which allow a differentiated approach to the effective management of agro-industrial production and the agro-food market. The role of agro-industrial production in solving the problem of providing the population with basic food products is shown. The main problems that have a negative impact on the development of agro-industrial production and the agro-food market in Siberia are presented. The main directions of development of the agro-food market of Siberia in the conditions of improving interregional and interstate relations are proposed.
The article is devoted to the problem typical for the Northwestern Federal District. Where, against the background of the priority development of animal husbandry, there is a shortage of own ingredients of concentrated feed and, above all, fodder grain. The Leningrad region is the leader of the district in terms of production and milk yields of milk and poultry meat, which increases its dependence on the forage base. The purpose of the article is to assess the current dependence of the region's livestock on the purchase of certain types of concentrated feed in terms of the potential for sustainable development of the livestock industry. The article provides an assessment of the need for concentrated feed to meet the needs of livestock. The calculation is given for feed for which the region has the potential to increase production volumes (barley, wheat, oats, and rapeseed). Attention is drawn to the high dependence of the region on the supply of grain from other subjects of the Russian Federation, which is a factor hindering the sustainable development of the livestock industry. The consequences of this dependence are assessed, such as the volatility of prices for grain feed, a decrease in the profitability of livestock farms, and a general decrease in financial stability.
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.

The state of acquisition of foreign publications of the scientific special library is considered. There is a shortage of current foreign publications in the library’s collections due to the lack of subscriptions to printed publications and the death of international document exchange. The role of foreign publications in the formation of CSAL information products and informing users is emphasized. The essence and basic data about open access to scientific publications, the main models of open access and its advantages are considered. The role of open access journals at the present stage in obtaining reliable information about the state of world agriculture, about the trends of its development in individual countries, about the achievements and prospects for the development of agricultural science in foreign countries is emphasized. The purpose of the study was to create a list of open-access foreign journals for use in CSAL information products and library bibliographic services. Work has been carried out to search for full-text open access journals on the problems of agriculture, their study, analysis and selection. In the process of researching Internet resources, 784 journals on agriculture and the food industry were selected., including agriculture economics ‑ 64; forestry ‑ 67; biology of agricultural plants ‑ 51; animal husbandry – 120, veterinary medicine ‑ 91, mechanization and automation of agriculture ‑ 64, food industry – 112 journals, plant protection – 215 journals. The study has shown that in the list of 136 journals selected from Internet resources (17.5%) are the key ones, i.e. the most authoritative, prestigious, published for many decades, mostly with a high impact factor.
