Work on the development of abandoned farmland has revealed a number of new problems. The article describes the current rules of agricultural land turnover, it is considered that they should be adjusted taking into account the implementation of the State Program for the involvement of abandoned agricultural lands in turnover. It is also proposed to establish additional requirements for bidders for abandoned plots (experience in agricultural production), allow agricultural organizations and farmers to purchase abandoned plots at auctions, even if the maximum allowable size for the region of the total area of farmland concentrated in this way is exceeded, and a number of other measures. At the same time, adjustments to these rules should be treated with caution, and this should be supported by concrete actions to inventory abandoned land, complete the delimitation of state-owned agricultural land, streamline the allocation of land shares, etc.
The article focuses on the development of a methodological approach to assessing investments in fixed capital of agricultural organizations in the Oryol region. The analysis of the availability of fixed assets in agricultural organizations, investment in fixed capital, and investment sources is carried out. The volumes of acquisition of agricultural machinery and equipment in agricultural organizations, including leasing, are identified. The results of the analysis of investment directions in stationary objects of the agro-industrial complex of the Oryol region are presented. The measures of state support for investments in fixed capital of agricultural organizations are determined, state assistance to agricultural organizations of the Oryol region and the volumes of state subsidies for investment activities in agricultural organizations are assessed. A system of groups of indicative indicators for assessing the effectiveness of investment management in fixed capital of agricultural organizations is developed and a comprehensive assessment methodology is proposed. In addition, the developed methodology for assessing investments in fixed capital in agricultural organizations of the Oryol region is being tested.
The article examines the results of the current system of state support for agricultural producers in 2025, implemented at the expense of the regional budget of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. An assessment was made of the change in the number of support measures within the areas, both in quantitative and qualitative aspects, within which it was shown that there was an optimization of measures, which reduced them numerically by combining individual measures and expanding the range of recipients. Thus, despite the reduction in the number of measures, the effectiveness of the state support system increased. The work analyzes five areas of regional support in Krasnoyarsk Krai, which are defined at the legislative level in the region. Within each area, specific measures were considered, their strengths were identified, and areas for further efficiency improvement were shown. In some areas, it was proposed to continue combining measures, while in others, additions were presented. In some cases, new, additional measures were justified. Also, a critical justification was given for the need to return the measure to compensate for the costs of training workers of agricultural organizations. As a result, general principles of the existing regional support for agricultural producers in the Krasnoyarsk Territory were proposed. Regional support is based on the principles of consolidation, multifunctionality, social significance, interdepartmental interaction and complexity. The conclusions and proposals proposed in the work will be of interest to representatives of the executive authority of Krasnoyarsk Krai and other subjects of the Russian Federation involved in developing policies and developing specific measures to support agricultural producers in the region, and to all those who study issues of agricultural sector development.
The paper examines the issues of forming and developing high-tech agricultural production zones in the context of factors determining their operational efficiency. Territorial organisation, specialisation and increased productivity of agricultural land are extremely important in the context of slowing growth in the economically active population, population outflow from rural areas, and the challenges facing the Russian Federation in ensuring food security, balanced territorial development and creating incentives for regional economic growth. High-tech vegetable production zones are assigned the role of focal points for the introduction of innovations in the agro-industrial complex and for increasing the attractiveness of rural areas for investors and labour market participants. The subject matter of this study is determined by the spontaneous nature of the spatial organisation of agriculture in the Russian Federation, as noted by researchers, and the need to improve the theoretical and methodological support for the formation of high-tech vegetable production zones. By applying methods of analysis and synthesis to literature and sources, the paper proposes a system of factors that directly and indirectly influence the effectiveness of the formation of specialised high-tech zones for the production of certain types of agricultural products, and formulates conclusions regarding the methodology for their analysis at various stages of the organisation of high-tech zones
The purpose of the study is to identify the main trends in changes in the number of employees in agricultural organizations in the Altai Territory, and to assess the impact of quantitative and qualitative factors on changes in the demand for personnel in the livestock industry of the region. The article identifies the main stages of changes in the number of cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats in agricultural organizations in the Altai Territory. It is shown that currently there are contradictory trends in animal husbandry compared to 1990, when production was competitive, pig farming, sheep farming, and cattle breeding were represented in most of the municipal districts: the production of industrial pig farming is concentrated in four large intensive complexes; sheep farming remained in several organizations; dairy cattle breeding is represented everywhere, but mainly In small and medium-sized organizations in the Altai Territory, large federal agricultural holdings are implementing two investment projects to create dairy complexes, but the projected milk production volumes do not compensate for the shortfall in production volumes in small and medium-sized organizations, which occurs due to a decrease in the number of cows. The dynamics for 2010-2024 show the distribution of agricultural organizations in the region by the number of employees, revealing an increase in organizations with up to 20 employees from 28.84% to 53.86% (this group of organizations specializes in the production of crop products), while the share of organizations with more than 100 employees decreased from 33.38% to 15.58% (in this group of organizations, livestock production generates half of the revenue). A factor analysis was conducted to confirm the hypothesis that the decrease in the number of livestock in agricultural organizations and changes in the organization of labor in animal husbandry determine the need for personnel. It was found that the main factor in determining the need for personnel from 1990 to 2024 was the quantitative factor of the number of livestock animals. The impact of the quality factor (labor costs per head of livestock) has increased only in recent years, with a significant change in the organization of labor and production processes in animal husbandry.
Recently, efficiency as a complex indicator has been interpreted from different sides, highlighting various components that should provide a more comprehensive assessment. But at the same time, the importance of general economic indicators cannot be denied. Monitoring general indicators characterizing the economic activity of agricultural organizations makes it possible to determine the dependence of indicators on the state agricultural policy, one of the components of which is the provision of subsidies for the development of the industry. Assessing the degree of influence of state support on the profitability of agricultural organizations and their financial position makes it possible to determine the weakest points in the industry and possible mechanisms for their elimination. Analysis of relative indicators - profitability of operations, profitability of sales - gives an idea of the situation in the industry and short-term prospects from the standpoint of expanding production. The article provides an analysis of relative and absolute indicators of the economic efficiency of agricultural organizations as the main entities of agricultural production, on whose activities the level of food security of the country depends. The practical significance of the analysis lies in the use of the results to determine possible areas for improving the country's agricultural policy to achieve the state's goals in the field of food independence.
The alcohol industry of the region affects the social and economic situation. The dynamics of tax revenues of organizations in this industry is characterized by a significant share of excise taxes, which increases the revenue side of the budget. But at the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the efficiency of the manufacturing organizations that are market participants, meet demand and are responsible for the quality of their products. Given the import dependence of the industry due to the low level of technological sovereignty with an assessment of the possibility of enterprise development, financial independence is of paramount importance. The level of economic efficiency of such a business process as sales in all areas of production is low and does not provide an opportunity to ensure expanded reproduction. The Belgorod region is also no exception: 31.8% of organizations in the region are unprofitable. This directly affects financial independence, the level of which is quite low in the region. In the Belgorod region, there are no large and practically no medium-sized manufacturing organizations, and they are the main payers of excise taxes to the budget. The presented analysis indicates negative trends in the direction of reducing efficiency and worsening the financial position of organizations. This reduces the investment attractiveness of the business, which affects the technological equipment of the production process and will lead to a deterioration in the quality of products, which, in turn, will affect the social indicators of the region.
The system of strategic direction of development of agro-industrial production is an integral part of the national system and has its own unique features. These features are determined by the specifics, including the nature of sectoral production, structural differences of individual components, the role in ensuring food security, the need to develop the agricultural sector and rural areas with direct state regulation. Emerging threats and challenges of the global and national economic systems in connection with the growing geopolitical and foreign economic risks require the search for new effective tools for managing both the national economy as a whole and the agro-industrial complex in particular. Sustainable agro-industrial production is an integral part of the food security strategy as an integral component of the country's national security. Strategic directions of development of agro-industrial production are directly related to the rates of development of agricultural sectors, optimization of use of production potential of which is based on use of interconnected material, technical, energy, transport, logistics and labor resources. The totality of these resources defines the basis of territorial-sectoral division of labor, possibilities of production of competitive products, promote attraction of investment resources with constant labor costs. Development of agricultural production corresponds to performance of production function by rural territories, is the main economic type of activity in rural areas and the main source of employment of population, provision of living environment by creation of necessary conditions and payment of labor of residents of these territories.
The development of tourism in the agricultural sector is a popular research topic today, however, it can be stated that the implementation of business tourism activities in rural areas is poorly understood. The organizers and participants of MICE events are looking for a variety of venues and ways to enhance the impressions received by business travelers, while ensuring a high degree of comfort and the necessary technical equipment of tourist spaces. Rural areas in the process of tourism solve several socio-economic tasks related to increasing the profitability of rural businesses, promoting rural brands, creating favorable working and leisure conditions that help reduce the outflow of qualified personnel. The integration of the interests of business tourism and agrotourism can solve all the urgent tasks of their participants and organizers. The paper outlines the author's position on the differences between business tourism and MICE tourism. The focuses of mutual interest of business tourism and agrotourism are visualized: the activities of the former can be implemented by the facilities of the latter, especially considering gentrification. The advantages of MICE events for agriculture are identified, the integration into which creates an effect both for the host rural areas and for rural businessmen acting as participants in business tourism. The factors of increasing the investment attractiveness of rural areas in the context of business tourism are outlined. The barriers and conditions for organizing successful business tourism in agriculture are listed.
Recently, the Russian government has taken a number of measures to curb domestic prices for certain types of food products (butter, chicken eggs, potatoes, etc.), ensuring free import of these types of products, which once again emphasizes the relevance of the problem of stabilizing domestic food prices, including through the use of import policy instruments. For the successful implementation of government control measures, it is necessary to assess their consequences for the welfare of trading partner countries. Analysis of duopoly models showed that the development of a theoretical justification for import policy measures that take into account the relationship between the domestic and foreign markets remains virtually unresolved for the long term. The paper presents an algorithm for developing a two-stage model of import duty for the oligopolistic competition market and preliminary estimates.
