The infrastructure for providing fertilizers and their efficient use are essential factors for the sustainable development of agriculture. Russia owns a resource base and production potential allowing the provision of domestic agriculture with the main types of fertilizers and selling a remaining part of them abroad simultaneously. In fact however, export significantly outweighs domestic consumption, resulting nutrients deficit in agricultural land. The main purpose of the article is to assess the situation in the domestic fertilizer market and to determine possible steps of more effective use of its potential taking into account real agricultural needs and foreign trade interests of Russia as well. The potential of using both mineral (mainly in agricultural organizations) and organic fertilizers is considered. The main trends in the world fertilizer market including the position of Russia are determined. The main reasons suppressing the adequate domestic consumption of agricultural fertilizers are revealed. The scopes of further scientific research in order to improve the efficiency of cooperation between national fertilizer market and primary agricultural production sector are proposed. The key state policy steps, providing domestic agriculture with fertilizers more effectively and supporting the high export positions of Russia in the world market are determined.
The development of biological resources in the Arctic is due to the fact that today almost all free water areas of the World Ocean are already divided between countries and against the background of a decrease in the total reserves of biological resources, each state seeks to develop those water areas that are in their jurisdiction, for Russia this includes the Arctic Seas. Ensuring the national interests of the Russian Federation in the Arctic zone, creating conditions for increasing the efficiency of development and extraction of aquatic biological resources, protecting natural areas and preserving marine ecosystems, protecting the habitat and traditional way of life of indigenous peoples, mutually beneficial cooperation are the main priorities state policy of Russia. Insufficient knowledge of the Arctic zone, which requires large financial costs for scientific research, poses problems for us, the solution of which will reveal the main directions of increasing the efficiency of using the raw material base of Russian fishing in the Arctic zone of the Russian. To create the necessary conditions for conducting profitable commercial fishing in the Arctic zone, it is necessary to develop a Target program for the development of biological resources of the Arctic zone of Russia, where the required volume of investments will be determined, which will show the scale and timing of the implementation of program activities.
The article notes that in Russia the main stake in ensuring the country's food security is made on large agricultural holdings, some of which own farmland of about 1 million hectares or more. Thus, the mistakes of the past are being repeated in a multiplied form, which hindered the harmonious development of all forms of management in the agricultural sector. Such a policy impedes the growth of the purchasing power of the population, increases the risks for the country, and endangers the solution of the food problem. The expediency of strengthening the social orientation of the agrarian policy, as well as attention to the self-sufficiency of the regions with food has been substantiated, the measures necessary for this have been proposed.
When analyzing personnel in the agricultural sub-sectors of some priority and border geostrategic territories (regions), negative trends and main problems in the formation and management of human resources in the agricultural business are identified. It is established that at present the existing system of training (advanced training) of human resources in the agricultural sector is practically absent, the human resources and the structure of personnel in the sub-sectors of the economy is formed without the practical application of educational standards, production competencies and the effective use of digital systems in the field of their management. There fore particular steps have been taken to eliminate these inconsistencies, primarily related to the strategic development of agricultural business in priority and border geostrategic regions, which consist in determining the internal and external factors of the development strategy and the main basic principles of the human resources potential of agricultural sub-sectors. The ways of the strategy for the development of the personnel potential of agricultural business are formulated and measures for creation of the strategy of personnel potential in agricultural sub-sectors of priority and border geostrategic regions are developed on the basis of the monitoring of these territories on the issue of the efficiency of the functioning of the personnel of agricultural business. Indicators for assessing human resource management and strategic directions for training (advanced training) of human resources in the agricultural sector and the practical application of educational standards, production competencies, as well as the effective use of digital systems in the field of their management are proposed.

Digital technologies and platform solutions of the XXI century have the most powerful potential for sustainable economic growth due to new technical and technological properties and management capabilities. The universal nature of digital transformation makes it relevant for all spheres of life, including agriculture, which has a technological diversity of agricultural production, a variety and complexity of production processes. The demand for digital solutions increases many times in the new conditions of reality, the key characteristic of which continues to be the covid factor. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the agro-industrial complex, as practice shows, is fraught with disruption of production and logistics chains on a national and global scale, which threatens the food security of all countries. The purpose of the article is to analyze the impact of stimulating factors of the transition of agriculture to the path of sustainable development in the model of innovative development. Among the key factors of innovative transformations, digital technologies are considered, the use of which in the management and innovation of business processes can significantly increase the efficiency of agricultural production, as well as a new coronavirus infection, which required the introduction of restrictive measures and, consequently, new technologies for building economic relations and organizing production. Regarding the assessment of the impact of the first factor – digital technologies-it is emphasized that agriculture is gradually beginning to lose its immunity to innovative transformations and the organization of business processes using automation, information and communication technologies, and digital solutions is becoming more common. The second factor – the new coronavirus infection-turned out to be less critical for agriculture compared to other sectors of the economy, moreover, the pandemic to a certain extent accelerated the digitalization of agribusiness and allowed the world to demonstrate the advantage of the Russian agro-industrial complex as more resistant to external influences. It is concluded that digital transformation is able to make a technological breakthrough in agriculture, which is necessary to achieve sustainable development and ensure national food security, regardless of new external environmental disturbances.
n Russia, there are enough prerequisites for the development of agricultural consumer cooperation. The multifunctionality of small businesses and cooperatives makes it possible to solve a significant range of state socio-economic tasks for the development of agriculture and rural areas. At the same time, the programs adopted by the government aimed at the development of small businesses and cooperation do not ensure the effective development of cooperative processes in rural areas. The purpose of the study is to propose organizational and economic approaches to the creation of high-yield cooperatives in the production and processing of agricultural products using state support, based on the analysis of the main factors of the development of agricultural consumer cooperatives and the market for the production of freeze-dried products.
