Agricultural consumer cooperatives are an important infrastructural institution of the rural economy. Support for cooperatives and an increase in the number of their members has become one of the state tasks to be solved within the framework of the federal project "Acceleration of small and medium-sized businesses." However, the ongoing organizational efforts, consulting and financial support for cooperatives have not yet yielded the expected results. The article analyzes the number of different types of cooperatives, the production and financial results of their activities, state support measures, and proposes measures for the development of agricultural consumer cooperation.
The article examines the results of auctions for 2021-2022 for the purchase and sale of agricultural land plots owned by the state or municipal in the Voronezh and Tambov regions, representing the Central Chernozem Economic Region of Russia. The analysis of the information posted on the state portal in the unified information system of the Russian Federation made it possible to assess the scale of transactions in the context of these entities based on the grouping of land plots sold at auction by area, cadastral value, form of ownership. The results of completed and failed transactions, transactions with one participant are considered. The comparison of the initial and final cost of land plots with their cadastral value both in absolute value and per 1 ha is carried out. The degree of deviation of the specified cost values formed during the auction is investigated. The role and participation of legal entities, farmer farms, and individuals in auctions for the right to conclude a contract of sale of land plots presented at the auction has been revealed.
The article presents the results of a study of the possibility of the participation of the Arctic, which has huge reserves of bioresources, in solving the global problem of acute food shortages with growing inequality and poverty in the world, while maintaining an optimal balance between the extraction of mineral raw materials and its processing, while preserving the natural environment for the reproduction of aquatic bioresources. It is emphasized that the consolidation of the efforts of the state, science and business in the study of the Arctic, strengthening the coordination of the work of all participants in this process will contribute to the achievement of technological sovereignty, information and financial independence of Russia.
Vegetable growing is the most important branch of the agricultural sector of the economy of most developed countries. At the same time, Russia's self-sufficiency in vegetable products is at a relatively low level, creating prerequisites for a significant intensification of vegetable production. According to expert estimates, an important reserve for improving the efficiency of vegetable cultivation technologies is the use of modern high-tech biofertilizers. The purpose of this work was to establish the features of the formation of economic indicators of vegetable cultivation technologies (cabbage, squash, carrots, beets, canteen) in the open ground, depending on foliar treatments of plantings with biofertilizers (Azotovit, Phosphatovit). The research was carried out according to widely approved methods in crop production. It was found that the treatment of vegetating plants with biological means ensured the formation of reliable yield increases at the level of 8 to 14%, while increasing the conditional net income by 18-79 thous. rub./ha (35-140%) with the payback of a unit of cost items in the value expression of the increase in yield up to 16.5 rub./rub. In ascending order of the payback of the culture, the following are located: carrot canteen → white cabbage → beetroot canteen → zucchini. The treatment of vegetative plants with biofertilizers with the consumption rates of each preparation for the preparation of a tank mixture in the volume of 0.2-0.3 l/ha had a greater advantage. In the future, it is planned to study the economic aspects of the combined use of biofertilizers, including variations in seed treatments, seedlings, soil during planting and vegetative plants.
The relevance of the research is conditioned by the current geopolitical and dynamically changing economic conditions, transformation of the global food markets, which substantiates the need for studying the problems of theory and practice of strategic planning at the state level, search for the ways to increase efficiency and functionality of management, as well as substantiation of applicable statutory regulations. The article presents the results of studying the issues of strategic planning of agroexport in the regions of Siberian Federal District (SFD). The aim of the research is to assess the efficiency of strategic planning of agroexport at regional management levels. The research hypothesis relies on substantiation of the need to elaborate a science-based agroexport development strategy that will make it possible to form a chain of interdependent target indicators to be specified in strategic planning documents; to exclude contradictions, to ensure consistency and coherence of managerial decisions, to improve the efficiency of managing the AIC export potential of SFD regions. A number of directions towards improving the efficiency of regional management of AIC products exportation were formulated on the basis of comparative analysis of the strategic planning documents for agroexport versus its actual condition and development in SFD regions. The proposed activity directions are based on the creation of progressive strategic planning documents grounded on modern science-based tools that take proper account of the modern external challenges and the need for new positioning formats of the Russian regions in the economic space.
The article describes the main problems of increasing the efficiency of dairy cattle breeding in Russia and the Ryazan region. Efficiency: production and technological, economic, social and environmental, as a unified system of criteria and indicators in relation to the industrial, industrial and traditional system of keeping cows. A comparative assessment of the features of cattle breeding is given. The reserves and ways of increasing the efficiency of management in the industry are identified, taking into account its zonal differences.
The article considers the socio-economic group of factors affecting the personnel supply of agriculture. In particular, the analysis of the wages of agricultural workers once again confirmed its unreasonably low level. The study found that the main measures to consolidate personnel in agriculture currently boil down to the payment of "lifting" and monthly additional payments to wages for three years. However, their effectiveness and positive impact on the consolidation of agricultural personnel in production is not subsequently confirmed. Therefore, the creation of an information monitoring system for recording and analyzing the training and use of agricultural personnel, as well as a single bank of personnel reserve data based on new information opportunities related to the formation and support of a single all-Russian information database on employees and workplaces, becomes relevant.
The working conditions and their payment in rural areas do not fully meet the tasks of import substitution of agricultural products and ensuring food security set for farmers. The purpose of the study is to determine the features of existing working conditions and their remuneration in rural areas, as well as changes in the nature and content of the work of agricultural workers in the conditions of the use of digital technologies. The use of digital technologies will reduce the severity of work, the impact of harmful conditions on the health of the employee. The paper lists the factors of reducing the negative impacts of changes in the nature and content of labor as a result of the digital transformation of agriculture. The article points to the need to develop a system of measures aimed at changing stereotypes about rural life. Increasing the attractiveness of the agricultural sector is based on increasing the profitability of agriculture, creating favorable housing and social living conditions. The key methodological principles on which the study is based are based on the work of Russian specialists in the field of agricultural labor economics, the creation of an organizational and economic mechanism for the sustainable development of the industry based on the development of human capital in agriculture.
