Abstract. The article presents scientific approaches to the formation of an economic mechanism in the agro-industrial complex at the present stage. On the basis of economic laws, the theoretical basis for the formation and functioning of the economic mechanism is determined. The main views on the definition of the category “economic mechanism” in the conditions of various economic structures are considered in accordance with the informational, functional and integral approaches. On the basis of the conducted research, the author’s interpretation of the economic mechanism in the agro-industrial complex is formulated, its functions and principles are determined in the new geopolitical conditions. The authors emphasize that the condition for sustainable development of agriculture is expanded reproduction based on the functioning of a comprehensive stimulating economic mechanism and its balanced elements. It is concluded that the system of prices and pricing occupies a central place in the economic mechanism, since the formation and use of monetary resources are a decisive factor in a sustainable reproduction process. It is noted that budget subsidies can be significantly increased, and the structure of their use can be quickly changed, which is extremely relevant in the face of modern challenges and threats. It is emphasized that in modern conditions there is a reconfiguration of the functions of lending, taxation, insurance and customs and tariff regulation for accelerated import substitution and ensuring food security.

Keywords: economic mechanism, organizational and economic mechanism, conceptual approaches, information flows, methods, tools, prices, budget subsidies, lending, taxation, agricultural insurance, customs and tariff regulation, reproduction, agro-industrial complex

Abstract. The motivation of entrepreneurs to expand business activity requires the development of accessible scientific and methodological support for decisions made in terms of assessing competition. The indicators and the order of pairwise comparison of compliance with the proportions logically established for them are substantiated. A matrix technique for assessing and options for the attractiveness of the competitive environment are developed and illustrated, taking into account the coordination of indicators. Its practical significance lies in the expansion of management tools at the stage of discussing commercial ideas and planning start-ups.

Keywords: local product market, start-up, competitive environment attractiveness, market concentration, market growth, relative market share, antitrust law, matrix evaluation

Food self-sufficiency and state support of the region (on the example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

Natalia V. Rodnina

Arctic State Agrotechnological University, Yakutsk, Russia

Abstract. The article deals with the urgent issue of food self-sufficiency of the subjects of the Russian Federation and the impact of state financial support on it. Both the food security of the country and the food self-sufficiency of a particular region are among the main directions of state policy today. For the northern, Arctic region with complex climatic, transportation, infrastructure conditions, food security is a complex multifactorial problem. Low agricultural potential and hence insignificant volumes of local agricultural production are reflected in the food market in the form of its shortage and the high cost of goods sold. Sometimes this leads to non-compliance with the recommended rational nutrition standards of the population. Due to market mechanisms, the food problem cannot be completely solved, especially in the northern regions. It is necessary to take more effective measures of state financial support that contribute to increasing the volume of own food production.

Keywords: self-sufficiency in food, region, state support, food security, agro-industrial complex, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

1,2Ural State Economic University, Yekaterinburg, Russia

3Ural State Agrarian University, Yekaterinburg, Russia

Abstract. The growth of technological unemployment in the context of the massive use of robots and artificial intelligence is an urgent practice and scientific problem. The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of the use of artificial intelligence technologies and robotics on unemployment in agriculture. As research methods, screening of scientific literature on this issue and questioning of the expert group are used. The analysis and grouping of various scientific approaches to assessing the impact of artificial intelligence technologies and robotics on technological unemployment has been carried out. According to experts, the use of artificial intelligence and robotics technologies in agriculture will cause a cardinal impact on the industry (56.6% and 58.9%, respectively). At the same time, experts assess the possible increase in unemployment in rural areas as a result of the use of these technologies as insignificant (55.3% and 59.6% of all estimates). Specific recommendations are given to reduce the impact of the use of artificial intelligence technologies and robotics on technological unemployment, which consist in the need to improve the skills of workers, acquire unique skills for them, and create effective trade union organizations.

Keywords: agriculture, robotics, artificial intelligence, unemployment, employment, technological unemployment

Abstract. A significant part of the territory of the Russian regions is located in areas characterized by extreme natural conditions, which to some extent limits the possibilities of agricultural development. In the regions of the country, it is strategically important to ensure the preservation, restoration and increase of productivity of the main factor of agricultural production – agricultural land, to create conditions for their rational use and involvement in agricultural turnover of unused arable land. The low bioclimatic potential and the continentality of the climate characterize the extreme natural and climatic situation of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District and are the basis for their differentiation by soil and climatic conditions. The extreme climate significantly reduces the productivity of agricultural land and caused a reduction in the volume of per capita production and consumption of protein-containing products in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District. The article assesses the efficiency of the use of agricultural land in Russia and the Far Eastern regions, justifies their grouping by soil and climatic conditions, identifies priority measures to increase land productivity. An element of the scientific contribution of the study is the zoning of the territories of the Far Eastern Federal District based on the assessment of their soil and climatic conditions and the author’s method of differentiating regions by groups with the identification of food production opportunities and the proposal of priority directions for increasing the productivity of agricultural land. The materials and results of the study have theoretical significance, as well as practical value for regional authorities in the development of agri-food policy.

Keywords: land resources, efficiency, agricultural land, valuation, food supply, food security, extremity, natural and climatic conditions, region, Far Eastern Federal District
