The purpose of the study is to show the growth opportunities of the reindeer herding sub-sector, its export orientation. The problem is relevant at a time of changing consumer tastes, when the demand for the meat and meat products market has reached saturation. The article discusses the problems limiting the growth of production and suggests ways to solve them. An analysis of the dynamics of reindeer and pasture population in the context of the countries and regions of the Russian Federation has been given. Despite the fact that venison occupies an insignificant share in the world market for meat and meat products, nevertheless, Russia's share in this niche is definitely high (over 9%), due to the fact that the country has a large number of livestock in the world. The situation was extremely favourable for the development of export capacity. At the same time, special attention should be paid to the possibility of processing leather raw materials. The work substantiates the need to create capacities for the processing of leather raw materials from deer skins, and indicates possible sources of investment resources for this purpose. To overcome the negative trend of pasture abandonment, the introduction of compensation for damage at market value was proposed. To overcome the personnel crisis, the need for the introduction of tax benefits for those employed in the industry is justified. To provide modern technicians for monitoring the condition of reindeer pastures, it is proposed to use state guarantees to suppliers. To increase business profitability, recommendations were made to improve technological measures in the industry.
In modern conditions, there is a problem of attracting specialists, including young ones, to work and live permanently in rural areas. The problem is not immediate and exists for many decades, during which it was not only not solved, but also worsened, showing the ineffectiveness of existing mechanisms for attracting and fixing. We can't say that this problem exists only on the territory of Russia. Many countries of the world have faced it in a tight situation. Each of them is characterized by its own solution path, based on economic and social goals. The problem of attracting qualified labour resources to the village cannot be separated from the village itself and its socio-economic development. This article presents and analyzes the existing mechanisms for securing specialists in rural areas in Russia and other countries. The purpose of the study was to determine all the existing socio-economic mechanisms for attracting and retaining specialists in rural areas. The reduction of rural residents is not so much due to the natural loss of population, but due to the constant migration of young rural residents to urban agglomerations. This reduction leads to the desertification of the territory, the aging of the population, and the reduction of the skilled labour force, which hinders the development of agriculture – a key economic component of rural development. Based on the study of foreign experience, analysis of current legislation and development programs, and long-term surveys of rural residents, additional mechanisms for stimulating the population's involvement in rural areas are proposed. The key factors for attracting young professionals to the village are the availability of employment, accessibility and comfort of housing, provision of social facilities and services (kindergarten, school, FAP, etc.), and the level of transport infrastructure.
The relevance of the research topic lies in the importance of the development of the education system, especially in General, in rural areas. Repeatedly and at the level of the Russian President, Russian Government, profile ministries it was noted that the functioning of schools, particularly, small – the most important condition for the development of rural communities, because «...if... the school closes a village dies», – said Russian President Vladimir Putin during a straight line in 2018. The purpose of the research was to assess the prospects for the implementation of the national project (NP) «Education» in rural areas. The study used methods of comparative analysis, data comparison and exponential smoothing. Based on the forecast, the possible number of students in the general education system in rural areas at the beginning of 2025 was determined – 4 904 890 people, while the number of organizations engaged in educational activities for educational programs of primary, basic and secondary general education in rural areas at the beginning of 2024/2025 academic year will be 23 756 units. Based on the data obtained, the feasibility and sufficiency of indicators defined in the NP «Education» and its federal projects were evaluated. The results showed that in the framework of NP «Education» by the end of 2024 will be solved some problems of general education in rural areas (second and third shift, lack of new schools and the need for modernization of existing), while for other problems (lack of material security, the shortage of personnel in rural schools) inherent in the NP targets is not enough.
The main element of the system of effective development of agriculture in Russia is the transition to an innovative model. The article describes the main models of innovative development of the agricultural sector used at the present stage in the world. The main models of functioning of innovative mechanisms of agriculture are analyzed, as well as some developments of scientists in the field of world experience in regulating innovative development. The current state of innovation activity and features of innovative processes in the agricultural sector of Russia are determined. For this purpose, we studied expert assessments and calculations of Russian scientists published in scientific literature, accounting documents and reports of research organizations and the Ministry of agriculture of the Russian Federation, as well as materials from periodicals. The problems and trends that limit the innovative development of agriculture are identified. The conclusion is made about the low prevalence of innovations in the agro-industrial complex as a whole. The necessity of a comprehensive approach to regulating innovation in the agricultural sector and developing a system of measures aimed at increasing the investment activity of agriculture is substantiated. Currently, innovation is becoming a key factor in the development of the entire economy of the country. It is concluded that there is a need for a comprehensive approach to regulating innovation in the domestic agricultural sector and developing a system of measures aimed at increasing the innovative activity of agriculture. It is determined that increased investment activity in the agricultural sector and the intensification of innovative processes will ensure productivity growth, increase production volumes and efficiency, increase the competitiveness of Russian agricultural products, solve the problem of import substitution, and increase the profitability of agricultural producers.

The article deals with the formation of foreign trade in agri-food products. The authors analyze the main trends in the development of exports and imports of agricultural products and food in the world and in the Russian Federation, country and product specifics of domestic food exports. The study analyzes the competitiveness of wheat and poultry meat, which revealed that Russian wheat has a high potential and revealed comparative advantage in the world market, but domestic producers are not yet competitive in terms of poultry meat compared to the main world suppliers. The article emphasizes the relevance of improving agricultural export policy in the context of the unfolding global financial and economic crisis associated with the collapse of oil prices and the pandemic that has covered almost all countries and continents. The authors conclude that it is necessary to strengthen measures of state support for this direction, the development of export infrastructure, in particular financial infrastructure to increase export potential.
The article analyzes the current forms of support for investment lending, their advantages and disadvantages from the position of involving a wide range of agricultural producers in the innovation and investment process. A new mechanism for state regulation of investment lending in the agricultural sector is proposed, which can increase the stability, uniformity and development rate of agricultural production sectors in the regions of Russia. The analysis of investment process dynamics in agriculture with the beginning of realization of the Priority national project "Development of agriculture" found significant disparities of investment attraction between agricultural producers, sub-sectors and regions, which leads to unevenness in the pace and reduce resistance development of agriculture. Current forms of support for agricultural lending have led to increased market power among certain industry participants. The development of economic mechanism of investment lending for agriculture based on the implementation of «the principle of optimum output»from banks to agricultural producers significantly expands the number of active participants of innovation and investment development, involves in the process of technology implementation the major share of agricultural producers regardless of their size and legal form.
The relevance of the research is related to the need to develop economic measures to ensure the conservation and rational use of agricultural land near cities. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the directions for optimizing land use near cities for economic development and improving living conditions of the population. The processes of economic use of land resources in urbanized territories are analyzed, their high demand in housing construction, agricultural enterprises, recreational facilities (sports and recreation, fishing and hunting bases, etc.) is noted. Interest in these lands is shown due to the possibility of obtaining a high rental income (rent by location) from their use. Agricultural enterprises, as the least competitive among other categories of users, need state assistance to preserve and strengthen their resource potential, especially land. It is proposed to expand and Supplement the directions and types of economic support for agricultural enterprises in order to ensure sustainable development of land use, including assistance in the acquisition of land, the development of new highly productive technologies in agriculture and animal husbandry, the development of the interregional labour market, etc. These measures are aimed at preventing the irretrievable disposal of land from agriculture, which is the main life-supporting activity, to ensure the preservation of fertile land near cities through environmental protection measures, and to improve the environmental conditions of the population.
