Abstract. The food supply to the population is a priority and shows high importance for the economic state of Russia. An important issue in this regard is the production of milk and dairy products in accordance with established medical standards at a sufficient level. Consumers increasingly need milk and dairy products, but statistics show that over ten years in our country the annual volume of milk production has remained virtually unchanged. In these conditions, the issues of finding ways to increase milk production volumes, both at the level of individual business units and at the level of this strategically significant subcomplex of the agro-industrial complex, which is dairy, as a whole, are becoming increasingly urgent. The article discusses approaches to assessing the functioning of the dairy subcomplex and formulates scientifically based directions for increasing its efficiency.

Keywords: dairy subcomplex, milk, dairy farming, agro-industrial complex, innovation, robotics, efficiency, government support

Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of the features of food inflation in Russia in the context of assessing the main factors and causes that determine it: monetary and non-monetary, economic and non-economic, external and internal, lying on the supply and demand side. Based on the analysis of inflationary processes and factors determining food demand for the period 2000-2022, the authors conclude that the main cause of food inflation in Russia is the increase in production costs, which causes cost inflation. The study of the dynamics and factors of inflation in individual food markets has shown that the rates of price growth and their volatility vary depending on the specific food product and the specifics of the market: agricultural raw materials and processed food products; the level of concentration and monopolization of the market; integration into the world market and orientation to domestic demand. Based on the results of the study, the authors formulated proposals to improve the anti-inflationary policy in the Russian Federation.

Keywords: prices, food inflation, demand, costs, elasticity, economic accessibility of food, anti-inflationary policy

Abstract. In industrial-type regions with a predominant industrial component of the economy, the issue of providing the population with high-quality and affordable food is most acute. In industrial regions, there are problems with agriculture, such as an unfavorable environmental situation, partly related to the predominance of extractive industry in the region’s economy, a shortage of agricultural land, etc. At the same time, the region has scientific, technical, and innovative potentials for the development of processing of agricultural raw materials and food production. Since the majority of the population in these regions is predominantly urban, intensive modern living conditions require the production of ready-made food, semi-finished products, which stimulates the creation of food and processing industries. Therefore, a shift in emphasis towards the processing of agricultural raw materials and food production is becoming a priority direction for the development of agro-industrial complex. One of the main constraining factors of the extensive variant of agricultural development in industrial regions is the limited land resources and their deterioration under the influence of the consequences of the activities of industrial, mainly extractive industries. The article substantiates the limitations of the extensive development path of the agro-industrial complex of the Kemerovo region – Kuzbass, emphasizes the need for its development, on an innovative basis, and food and processing industries in particular. The significance of the research lies in the development of a concept for the development of food and processing industries, which determines the main directions of their development.

Keywords: industrial regions, agro-industrial complex development, agricultural lands, food and processing industries, directions of development, development concept

Rural local economy: main characteristics of rural small and medium enterprises in municipal regions by industry

Ekaterina A. Gataulina1, Ekaterina A. Shishkina2

1, 2 VIAPI named after A.A. Nikonov – branch of the Federal Scientific Center VNIIESKh, Moscow, Russia

Abstract. As part of the continuation of the study of rural local economy, conducted by VIAPI named after A.A. Nikonov, the main financial and economic characteristics of rural small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in municipal regions of Russia have been identified by industry based on SPARK-Interfax based on 2021 data. Despite the growing attention of authorities to the development of rural areas, including through SMEs, there is no open data to determine which sectors are most attractive specifically for rural SMEs, how efficient they are, what their productivity and wages are. It is widely believed that the main activity of rural enterprises is agriculture. The work shows that SMEs of non-agricultural activities generally predominate not only in numbers, but also in revenue, both on average for all municipal districts of Russia and in the vast majority of regions of the Russian Federation, although agriculture remains important for them and one of the most profitable industries. The work provides indicators of efficiency and labor productivity, debt burden of rural SMEs by industry, which can be used when forming decisions in the field of rural development.

Keywords: small and medium enterprises, rural local economy, rural development, municipal districts

Increasing the efficiency of export of oil and fat products from the regions of Siberia

Kristina V. Chepeleva

Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University, Krasnoyarsk, Russia

Abstract. The purpose of the study is to increase the efficiency of export of oil and fat products from the regions of Siberia (Siberian Federal District (SFD)). The analysis of the current state of exports of fat and oil products from the regions of SFD is carried out. The article examines the dynamics and structure of exports of fat-and-oil products of the subjects of the Siberian Federal District, as well as the impact of state regulation of the fat-and-oil industry in the Russian Federation. The ranking of the regions of Siberia according to the degree of their influence on export revenue from the sale of fat and oil products is presented, the analysis of the geography of exports is given. Conclusions are drawn that, under certain conditions and for certain territories of the Russian Federation, state regulation measures for the oil and fat industry are not sufficiently effective to achieve their goals. The formed export-raw material model of economic development of the fat-and-oil subcomplex of the agro-industrial complex of Siberia is accompanied by a number of difficulties for existing exporters. The author focuses on the need to develop the processing of oilseeds in the regions of Siberia. In the Siberian Federal District, it is potentially effective to develop its own processing of oilseeds, changing the structure of agricultural exports, increasing the volume of sales of fat and oil products of medium and high technological conversion.

Keywords: export of agricultural products, oil and fat subcomplex, oilseeds, oil and fat products, regions of the Siberian Federal District, production efficiency

Food waste in social institutions: financial losses of budgetary funds

Anna S. Shcherbakova

Institute of Socio-Economic and Energy Problems of the North of the Federal Research Center of the Komi Scientific Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Syktyvkar, Russia

Abstract. Circular agriculture considered as one of the forms of sustainable development of the agricultural sector. The essence of the proposed new approach in agriculture based on the reduction of agricultural waste and the ability to use a closed production cycle to increase economic, social and environmental efficiency. The author has previously developed an experimental business model for the circular economy of agriculture and the agri-food system using the example of the Komi Republic. The study revealed that the main problem inherent in the circular economy of agriculture, as the disposal of animal waste, is absent in the region. Taking into account the peculiarities of the region, other significant problems were found: the disposal of containers from food imported from other regions and the amount of discarded food purchased for state social institutions under Federal Law No. 44 «On the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services to meet state and municipal needs». Based on surveys, it was revealed that in social institutions where free meals provided at the expense of the republican budget, the amount of food thrown away by students and patients ranges from 25 to 60%. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the Republic of Komi, for the first time, the losses of budget funds allocated for free meals in public institutions in the context of municipalities of the region were calculated. The article calculates the losses of budget funding from discarded food (food) in the areas of education, social protection and healthcare for 2017-2022. The calculations based on the data of requests, both to the relevant ministries of the Komi Republic, and to the administration of municipalities of urban districts and municipal districts. It is revealed that the loss of budget funding due to discarded food for 2017-2022 range from 1024.3 to 3073 million rubles. The practical significance of the introduction of this model in the regional economy of the republic will ensure a reduction in food losses, a decrease in the formation of food and non-food waste, which will increase the level of self-sufficiency in basic foodstuffs, the rational use of resources in the agricultural sector and the effective use of budgetary funds.

Keywords: circular economy, agriculture, free food, social institutions, public funding, food waste
