Rabbit farming is one of the promising and strategically important sectors of animal husbandry in the Russian Federation. The main products of this industry are dietary meat, the demand for which is growing due to the popularization of a healthy lifestyle in the world. Rabbit meat also belongs to white varieties of meat, and rabbit breeding products are recommended for all groups of the population, since it has hypoallergenic properties, that is, nutritional properties distinguish rabbit breeding products from other species. The relevance of the study is due to the need to analyze the key financial indicators of commercial rabbit-growing enterprises and to offer directions for improving their financial condition. Seven rabbit-breeding enterprises located in the Central Federal District were selected as the objects of the study, and the empirical base was compiled by public accounting data. Based on the results of the comparative analysis, groups of indicators of the financial situation and the results of the activities of the commercial rabbit-growing enterprises under consideration for the period 2017-2019 were identified and analyzed. The coefficients of financial stability, solvency and performance indicators of enterprises were considered. We believe that the proposed activities based on the results of the analysis will contribute to bringing the key financial indicators of industrial rabbit-growing enterprises to normative values, thereby increasing their attractiveness for investors, banks and suppliers of raw materials and materials, which will contribute to an increase in production volumes and, as a result, an increase in the supply of rabbit-growing products to meet the existing demand in the domestic market.
The article is devoted to the study and analysis of providing the links of supply processes that are part of the value creation chain of the agricultural sector of the Republic of Armenia, their financing, development problems and the presentation of the possibility of introducing mechanisms to solve them, which will be aimed at the sustainable development of the agricultural sector. Prerequisite for ensuring development of agriculture is normal functioning of all links of a production and sales chain entering a value chain in the agrarian sector which are divided respectively into production and sales of milk, meat, fruit and vegetables, grain, dairy products, meat products, canned food, grain etc. It includes production, organizational, assembly, post-harvest, material, supply, warehouse and financial processes. Agricultural production and export in developing countries is a potential for overcoming poverty and economic growth. However, access of small farms to large markets is limited due to problems in transporting and warehousing products. Policies to support such farms should be realistic by developing and implementing an effective value chain to enter foreign markets.
On October 26, 2020, President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin approved the Development Strategy for the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation, which defines the main directions for the development of a strategically important territory both nationally and economically for the period until 2035. The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is the largest subject of the Russian Federation in terms of territory. At the same time, 52.2‰ of its area or 1608.8 thousand square meters. km are occupied by the Arctic regions with extreme natural and climatic conditions, low population density, the focal nature of industrial and economic development and the complete dependence of life support and activities on the seasonality of transport accessibility. The food market, its condition is among the main indicators of the quality of life of the population. At the same time, the current level of food consumption in the Arctic regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) does not fully meet, on the one hand, modern standards and requirements, and on the other, the needs of the population, taking into account their national and ethnic characteristics. All this leads to the urgent need to revise approaches to state regulation of the food supply system for the population of the Arctic region. The article emphasizes the relevance and timeliness of the approval of the Strategy. At the same time, the physical and economic availability of food for every citizen living in the Arctic should be considered not only at the expense of the northern supply - guaranteed provision of food to settlements, but also at the expense of the development of regional production - agricultural sectors. The tasks of improving the effectiveness of the regional agro-industrial complex in the Arctic, in particular traditional industries, will not only reduce part of the problem with ensuring the northern supply, but will also ensure qualitative changes in the standard of living of the population living in this territory.
The agricultural machinery industry in Russia is in a systemic crisis, as evidenced by the constantly shrinking machine-and-tractor fleet of the country, low production and export volumes of domestic agricultural machinery against increased imports or local assembly of foreign agricultural machines. This article presents the author's strategy of the development of agricultural machinery in Russia (the purpose of the study), which differs in its methodology from official strategies or ideas proposed by other scientists. To develop the main provisions of the strategic plan, the concept of catch-up economic development, knowledge in the field of innovation and technology management, strategic management and strategic marketing are used. With regard to the agricultural machinery industry, the following is formulated / developed: Russia's mission, strategic vision, values, strategic issues (based on SWOT analysis), strategic goals, strategic actions, or strategies. Low competitiveness of Russian agricultural machinery is recognized as the main strategic issue. In order to solve it, it is proposed to apply the following strategies within the framework of the catch-up development paradigm: the leapfrogging strategy, or bypass maneuver, and the triple helix strategy. The bypass maneuver consists in abandoning the improvement of the production of mechanical machines and moving to the development of smart, robotic agricultural machinery and the subsequent creation of a system of smart machines or a system of systems for the agro-industrial complex. The triple helix strategy, in its turn, is based on the triple helix innovation model and aims to create an effective national innovation system in the agro-industrial complex. For this, the formation of a national agrarian consortium in Russia is recommended (cooperation between science, business and government). Also, the following proposals have been made: to establish (i) a strategic partnership with the Republic of Belarus and (ii) the Eurasian agrarian consortium as an innovation system of the Eurasian Economic Union’s agro-industrial complex. Finally, this study underlines the importance of using business literature—management and marketing—in the preparation of economic strategies.
The article considers new forms of public private partnership in the implementation of high-tech projects. Scientific and educational centres established in the Russian Federation within the framework of the national project "Science" create conditions for investment and entrepreneurship in the agro-industrial complex. However, the creation of these centres presupposes the formation of specific features of public private partnership. As a format for implementing such a partnership in research and education centres, research and production platforms are used, which are specialized communication platforms and project team management centres that provide solutions to the centre’s tasks and include a portfolio of projects. The paper considers the established scientific educational centres of the Russian Federation in the agro-industrial complex, defines the tasks of their functioning. The mechanism of implementation of public-private partnership within the framework of scientific and educational centres of the world level is presented. The predicted dynamics of indicators of development of scientific and educational centres allows us to draw conclusions about the high degree of interest of the state authorities, regional authorities, universities and business representatives in this kind of cooperation. In this study, an algorithm for forming a portfolio of high-tech projects was developed, which allows at the initial stage, resorting to a highly qualified expert community and representatives of the state and business, to identify projects that can meet the needs of the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation and weed out all non-viable projects. It is proposed to monitor high-tech projects, which will allow at each stage of the project life cycle, to identify and identify problems, to correct the project. The formation of a stable link between state power, business, and regional universities in the Russian Federation will make it possible to more effectively solve the problems caused by the challenges of our time, both at the regional and Federal levels.
The study purpose is to create a single mechanism for evaluating performance providing an objective intensity estimation use assessment of acreage subjects of economic activity, territorial entities of the Federal and regional level. To evaluate the efficiency of use agricultural producers of their land resources methods based on the boundary of production capabilities are used in particular, the nonparametric method of data shell analysis. The proposed based on the synthesis of the integral indicator estimation intensity of use of their land resources by an agricultural enterprise or the territory method through the mathematical dependence including yield, average and marginal income indicators. Thanks to the use of the method at the regional level, you can create commodity producer’s portraits and territorial’s maps at the federal level, the problem of lack of correctness in providing statistical data on the activities of commodity producers is solved.
The article deals with the management of anti-crisis digital transformation processes in broiler production. The relevance of the topic is determined by the increasing frequency of economic crises, the importance of maintaining the stability of this socially significant industry, the need for further improvement of crisis management methodology. As a new approach, the authors propose crisis management mechanism based not on the traditional consideration of program projects as a linear set, but on the use of a network approach and systemic crisis management with elements of digital transformation. In the course of the study, the following tasks were solved: 1) an organizational model for managing the digital anti-crisis transformation program based on a network approach is proposed; 2) peculiarities of poultry farms monitoring as the basis for developing an anti-crisis digital transformation program for this industry are identified; 3) a model of digital transformation of a poultry farm for using it as an anti-crisis management tool is worked out. Digital transformation is understood by the authors as a fundamental change in the logic and content of processes: it means the company's transition to project (program) management based on goal setting, systematic review and evaluation of each project contribution to the implementation of the program. As an anti-crisis program, it can affect the main problem areas: relations with the external environment; internal business processes; resource base, including material resources, human capital and corporate culture; finance. The proposed approach makes it possible to develop a method for prioritizing program projects based on the use of network analysis. It allows to allocate resources between program projects, to evaluate the probability of individual projects’ success and the program as a whole. This approach can be extended to other branches of the agro-industrial complex.
Buckwheat is a valuable grain crop that has a number of irreplaceable qualities both as a food crop and as a honey crop, and is also of great importance in agricultural technology and medicine. The largest producers of buckwheat in the world are countries such as China, Russia and Ukraine. The main areas in the Russian Federation under culture are concentrated in the Siberian, Volga and Central Federal districts. The highest crop yield in 2019 was received in the Krasnodar territory and the Belgorod region. The share of domestic varieties in the State register of breeding achievements approved for use is 98‰. Russian producers are sown on the fields of the Russian varieties. Russia is an exporter of buckwheat to China, Japan, Mongolia, Armenia, Serbia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Kyrgyzstan.
The article describes the system of sustainable development of the plant industry based on improving the selection and seed production of crops in the Russian Federation. The high dependence of the country on foreign producers of seeds of higher reproductions is shown. Reasons have been revealed that limit the dynamic development of selection and seed production in Russia. A hierarchy of the system of sustainable development of the crop industry is proposed, in which the allocated levels form the corresponding subsystems for improving selection and seed production. The need for deep localization of seed production by foreign companies in the country has not been proved to the detriment of national selection. In this regard, an explanation is given of what seeds can and should be considered domestic. During the study, a set of methods was used: abstract-logical (when setting the goal and objectives of the study, substantiating the directions for improving selection and seed production), comparative analysis (when studying the theoretical aspects of the sustainable development of crop production in the country), monographic (when studying the state of selection and seed production of crops).
The article is devoted to the problems of the development of rural territories of the Republic of Kalmykia, located in the arid zone and characterized by extremely unfavourable natural and climatic conditions. Research on the living conditions of rural residents, the economic activities of agricultural producers and the state of the natural environment is carried out in conjunction as a socio-ecological economic system. In the course of research, a comprehensive analysis of rural socio-ecological economic systems in the context of its components was carried out. An analysis of the living conditions of the rural population revealed the presence of destructive factors for the development of the socio sphere, such as a stably negative migration balance, which led to a reduction and ageing of the rural population, low living standards of rural residents, financial insecurity of rural settlements, etc. The analysis showed the development of destructive factors both in the life support of rural residents, the production activities of agricultural producers, and in the preservation of the fragile ecological and economic balance of the rural territories of the Republic of Kalmykia. This fact led to the need to improve the model of rural development as a socio ecological and economic system that can neutralize threats to food security.
