Abstract: According to the adviser to the Minister of Agriculture, Yuri Kosovan, the consequence of the «grain deal» concluded on July 22, 2022 in Istanbul between the Governments of the Russian Federation, Turkey, Ukraine and the UN was to increase the role of Russia among the key suppliers of agricultural products to the countries of the European Union, Africa and Latin America [1]. The implementation of the transaction on the terms indicated by domestic economists and representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade should contribute to an increase in the revenue side of the budget of the Russian Federation. At the same time, Russia was able to increase exports of cereals and legumes by 11.6% in July – December 2022 [2]. The resumption of fulfillment of obligations under the terms of execution of the transaction by Russia on 02.11.2023 is due to guarantees, the implementation of which implies an increase in exports of domestic grain and fertilizers. After Russia withdrew from the deal on July 17, 2023, its role as a potential supplier of grain, according to American analysts, increased due to the possibility of rising food prices [3]. In the current situation, the requirements imposed on the quality of domestic grain by experts of the international community may be increased, primarily due to its shortage against the background of the food crisis that has matured over the past decades [3]. In turn, in order to ensure and improve the specified quality of grain sold in agriculture, it is necessary to use appropriate technologies. As the results of the analysis carried out by specialists in the subject area [4-8] show, the most effective in terms of compliance with grain quality requirements and the need to intensify its production is the technology of ultra-high-frequency seed treatment, the use of which allows to inhibit germination and ensure the greatest length of sprouts after germination. In turn, the implementation of the above technology involves the use of various technical means, the use of each of which involves obtaining different results. Consequently, the determination of the best of the above technical means and its application after the organization of public procurement can first contribute to improving the quality of grain produced by a domestic supplier, and then increase the revenues of the domestic budget. Unfortunately, the methodological support [9-11] and modern theoretical studies devoted to the selection of technical means from the studied set do not contain such mathematical apparatus and recommendations, the use of which would make it possible to make an unambiguous technical and economic assessment of the effectiveness of the purchase of one technical means relative to another. At the same time, the needs of the state customer, which are formulated in the state task in the form of values of specific quantitative indicators of the results of grain production, may not be fully satisfied. The contradiction between the needs of the state customer and the capabilities of modern guidance documents, as well as the results of theoretical studies used to justify decisions on choosing the best technical means from among the potentially possible ones, indicates the relevance of the problematic issue of determining the method of choosing the best technical means for ultra-high-frequency seed treatment. The article argues the relevance of solving the problematic issue of creating methodological support designed to select the best means of ultra-high-frequency seed treatment, the use of which will allow purchasing the best technical means for seed treatment, as a result of which the efficiency of budget spending should increase, proposals for its clarification are justified and formulated.
