DEVELOPMENT TRENDS OF THE MARKET FOR FLOUR AND CEREAL PRODUCTS

Flour and cereal products are considered an important food segment for the world population, differences in consumption of which are based on the preferences of residents of countries associated with traditions and taste characteristics. Given the differences in the availability of these products, there is a need to clarify the countries of exporters and importers on the world market. The purpose of the work is to identify the features of the functioning and development of the world market of flour and cereal products, including wheat and wheat-rye flour, and to determine the forecast values of this food segment. During the analysis of the flour and cereal products market, various scientific research methods were used: deduction and induction, monographic, comparative, graphical and tabular presentation of data, statistical analysis and forecasting. The article is devoted to identifying trends in the world market of flour and cereal products, including wheat and wheat-rye flour. Countries producing flour, exporters and consumers of the food segment in the global space have been identified. The features of some countries that for many years have held leading positions in the world market within the segment under study are given. The fact has been revealed that large flour producers are not always leaders in the export of these products. The place of Russia in the world market of cereals and flour has been clarified. Based on the analytical review, a trend equation was developed, which was used to determine the forecast parameters for the export of wheat and wheat-rye flour.

ASSESSMENT OF SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT OF CROP PRODUCTION

At present, the state is increasing its attention to the problem of food security. The leading role in its solution is given to the spatial development of crop production. The most efficient and at the same time the least costly way to increase the production of crop products is the competent spatial organization of the industry. Management decisions on the spatial development of crop production should be based on the results of diagnostics of the current state and development of the industry in certain regions. In this regard, research on the diagnosis of the spatial development of crop production is of particular relevance. The purpose of this work is to propose a methodological approach to the diagnosis of the spatial development of crop production. The proposed approach is based on an assessment of the conditions and results of crop production, with subsequent modeling of the dependence of crop production efficiency on the availability of resources in the industry. In the course of diagnostics, statistical methods were used to analyze indicators characterizing the conditions of spatial development of crop production. The results of the study showed that the regions of the Non-Black Earth Zone differ from each other in terms of the conditions for crop production, while the change in conditions is zonal in nature. The analysis of regression equations describing the results of crop production from the availability of natural and production resources in the regions made it possible to identify the factors that have the strongest impact on the development of the industry in each agricultural zone, as well as identify problems that hinder its development. The obtained diagnostic results made it possible to formulate priority directions for the development of crop production for each agricultural zone of the Non-Black Earth Region.

APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL AREAS TO ENSURE FOOD SECURITY IN RUSSIA

The article presents a solution to certain issues of ensuring food security in Russia in terms of promoting the harmonious development and strategic sustainability of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) and rural areas using artificial intelligence technology. Based on the analysis of current scientific, methodological and analytical literature, the work clarifies and formulates the definition of artificial intelligence as a technological system, reveals its essence and content in relation to the development of the AIC and rural areas. The article outlines the main areas of application of artificial intelligence in the AIC and development of rural areas in terms of ensuring food security in Russia at the systemic level. It is noted that the use of artificial intelligence to forecast the population's need for food products, based on the standard diet based on the required human consumption of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and drinking water based on the principle of regular, sufficient and balanced nutrition, plays a significant role in solving food security issues. The work indicates that this factor is decisive in terms of ensuring food security at the systemic level based on strategic sustainability. The article presents a number of recommendations on the use of artificial intelligence technology to form a national digital platform that allows solving problems of strategic planning and management of socio-economic systems, including industry and territorial ones. This platform, conventionally called Gosplan 2.0 or «Digital Gosplan», based on artificial intelligence technology will allow both planning and organizing the production of agricultural products, and managing the harmonious development of rural areas to ensure food security at the national level.
