International trade stimulates the mobilization and more efficient use of the potential of the economy of a country promotes productivity and income. The development of trade in agricultural products and increasing export potential is one of the most important directions of the agricultural policy of the Russian Federation, as well as the coordinated agricultural policy of the EAEU. China, as a trading partner, is of great interest because it is the largest consumer and producer of food not only in Southeast Asia, but also in the world. In recent years, trade between Russia and China has grown significantly, although from Russia to a greater extent. In 2016-2017, China took the first place in the Russian trade turnover of agricultural goods. Achieving a more balanced level of mutual trade is possible provided that the various trade barriers currently in place, especially on the part of the PRC, are eliminated or reduced. To achieve this goal, certain measures are being taken in both countries, as well as in the EAEU, including the conclusion of new trade agreements, bilateral and multilateral consultations, the development and implementation of joint projects in the agricultural sector and exhibitions of agricultural products and food. Russia has great opportunities to increase the production of agricultural raw materials and food not only to meet domestic needs, but also to export. However, to realize this potential, it is important to create conditions for improving the efficiency and competitiveness of domestic agriculture, improve the investment climate in the country.
The main trade partners within mutual trade in agro food products in EEU are Russia and Belarus. In article features of development of foreign trade in food products and agricultural raw materials of these two countries are considered; top trends in foreign trade are revealed; an assessment is given to the main directions of mutual agrarian export. Estimating the prospects of development of the Russian export of agro food products, it is noted that goals can be achieved of increase in volumes of export up to 45 billion US dollars due to primary increase in export of products with high extent of processing, but not due to export of agricultural raw materials. The Russian agrarian and industrial complex has the considerable potential of increase in production of food products with high extent of processing which can be realized, carrying out construction of the hi-tech enterprises of the food industry that will demand not only increases in investments into production base, but also in innovative developments.
The problems of the development of agro-industrial production in the regions of Siberia are identified. It is proved that in Siberian Federal district (SFO) there is a possibility to increase the volume of agricultural production to meet the needs of the local population in the main types of food according to the recommended rational norms, as well as the formation of the export potential for a number of products. Developed forecast of production of agricultural products in the subjects of the Russian Federation in SFO up to 2035, it is presented in two versions - mobilization and innovative. It is proved that for solving strategic challenges facing agriculture the district required implementation of the innovation scenario, which will require a significant increase in investment in the industry. The main strategic priorities of the socio-economic development of the agro-industrial complex have been identified. Among them are proposals for improving the general conditions of the industry, territorial-sectoral division of labour, the formation of rational intra-industry structural proportions in agriculture of subjects of the Russian Federation in SFO. The main innovation and investment priorities for the development of the agricultural sector are identified. Special attention is paid to the directions and mechanisms of socio-economic development of rural areas of the Siberian Federal District.
The book J.K. Gelbroyt "New industrial society" is an important milestone in creation of more perfect society uniting the best achievements of planned and market economy, socialism and capitalism and also their rapprochement. Many developed countries of Europe and high-growth (China, India, Vietnam and others) assumed "an integrated system" as a basis them future living arrangement, having united the best world achievements of socialism and capitalism. The transition period lasting more than 25 years is characterized for Russia by average annual growth rates of economy in 1‰, decrease in the volumes of investment for 10-15‰, 80‰ of foreign trade in fuel and raw materials, polarization of income of citizens. The strategic directions of development of agrarian and industrial complex including reorientation of investments from millions of separate separate farms and the agrarian and industrial complex enterprises on creation of several hundred agro-industrial formations with a uniform technological chain and the uniform management are presented in article; transition in economy from financial to the production capital; development of "project financing" of banks.

The relevance of the research topic is due to the further transformation of the Russian economy and its individual industries, which are based on fundamentally new methods of management with the use of modern digital and information technologies. Modernization of traditional production sectors of agriculture and creates the basis for the formation of a modern and efficient functioning market of scientific and technical products in Russia. Thus, the purpose of this study was to consider the methodological issues of development and improvement of the market of scientific products in the framework of the formation of new economic systems and the transition of the agro-industrial complex of Russia to the most effective and environmentally friendly technologies. The main results of the study is the author's generalization of the views of leading domestic and foreign scientists on the formation, development and effective functioning of the market of scientific products in agriculture. There are results of the research: the author's definition of the market of scientific products in agriculture is presented; the types of scientific products sold in agriculture are considered; the specific features of the market of scientific products in agriculture are presented.
The relevance of the proposed is due to problems of implementing a development strategy of the national food supply system considering the parameters of food security in the problem sectors, which include beef production, milk, the formation of a national seed system, staffing and the need for skilled personnel and the development of horticulture. An important aspect of this is the further improvement of the mechanism for forecasting food volumes in the conditions of insufficient systematic methods of managerial influence and the lack of development resources. The imperfection of today’s approaches used are of particular importance because the development trends of national food supply system are not described in the modern prognosis and not correspond to the development parameters of problem sectors of the food market. Thus, the development of the mechanism for managing the development of the national food supply system requires the improvement of methodological tools to ensure this strategic objective. The purpose of this article is to form a methodological approach to predict the parameters of the problem sectors of the agro-food market and on the basis of this further improvement of proposals to improve the management of the development of the national food supply system.
Целью исследования является формирование направлений, позволяющих улучшить стратегию развития зернового хозяйства. В качестве важного фактора, определяющего эффективность производства зерносеющих организаций, исследуется влияние эффекта масштаба, отражаемого размерами посевных площадей и величиной затрат на производство. Основным методом анализа является группировка, согласно которой зерносеющие организации области распределены по кластерам, а показатели, характеризующие в среднем каждый из них, сопоставляются между собой. В качестве основных показателей, по которым выполняется сравнительная оценка результативности и эффективности производства зерна, использовались: выручка, прибыль, затраты на производство и урожайность, определяемые в расчете на 1 га посевов зерновых, а также рентабельность продаж зерна. В исследовании подтверждено, что эффект масштаба значительно влияет на эффективность производства зерна. Наиболее эффективными кластерами зернопроизводителей в 2014-2016 гг. в Курской области являлись крупные хозяйства с посевной площадью зерновых от 4 до 8 тыс. га и от 8 до 16 тыс. га, при этом самые крупные зерносеющие организации региона гораздо менее эффективны, что свидетельствует о наличии ограничений эффекта масштаба. На основе полученных результатов анализа сформирован ряд приоритетных направлений регулирования и поддержки развития производителей зерна.
For check of a hypothesis the numerical behavioural model of Farrell’s type based on the nonparametric border of production capabilities constructed according to reporting data of the agricultural organizations is used. The hypothesis about the comparative advantages of grain production due to the availability of unused agricultural lands is supported for corporate farms in three oblasts of Russia's South Non-black-earth zone (Kaluga, Tula and Ryazan), only if the technological progress results in at least 1‰ productivity growth. In this case, the incremental grain production amounts to 4.10‰. This capacity is not sufficient for implementing large-scale grain projects.
