Abstract. In this work, an analysis of a possible option for introducing the “sandbox mechanism” into agriculture of the Russian Federation was carried out; the authors investigated the possible economic consequences of this implementation. The emphasis is placed on the fact that this step will allow our country to enter a completely new innovative path of agricultural development. The following research results were obtained: failures in imports and exports due to large-scale disruptions in food supply chains are the results of Western sanctions pressure on the Russian food market. Russia is still dependent on imports, so the main thesis is that exports and import substitution are complementary strategies. In order to level out the problem of import substitution, the authors propose the use of a “sandbox mechanism”; it is quite obvious that, through a certain methodology, we will reduce the time and costs of entering export-oriented products into the national market, and then world markets and, subsequently, expanding production capabilities for domestic manufacturers. The key directions of state policy in the field of import substitution have been identified - ensuring technological sovereignty in the country through the production of import-substituting and export-oriented products. The main threats to food security for 2024-2025 are formulated: the further use of parallel imports will only worsen the already difficult relations with the West, and new risks will also appear - an uncontrolled rise in food prices and, as a result, a loss of confidence of the domestic consumer. Specific models of import substitution are proposed with an emphasis on domestic high-tech developments and scientific competencies in the food market.

Abstract. The article focuses on the basics of the formation and management of agglomerations in rural areas of Russia. The author’s formulation of the concept of «agglomeration in rural areas» is given. Criteria have been identified for the purpose of determining agglomerations in rural areas, the main of which include the population, the presence of a center or core of the agglomeration, the infrastructural community of municipalities in the agglomeration, the presence of agricultural production in the agglomeration, the presence of sufficiently dense buildings. Based on the criteria presented, the classification of agglomerations in rural areas is given. A model of the mechanism for managing the functioning and development of agglomerations in rural areas is presented. The main aspects of the implementation of the mechanism for managing the functioning and development of agglomerations in rural areas are substantiated, and a logical and graphical model of the phased implementation of the agglomeration management system in rural areas is presented.

Keywords: agglomeration, management tools, management methods, municipal level of management, regional level of management, rural areas, agriculture, agricultural production, management system, federal level of management, forms of management, core of agglomeration

Highlights: – in modern conditions, there is an objective need for scientific justification of the management of agglomerations in rural areas of Russia;

there is a whole range of prerequisites for the formation and implementation of a mechanism for managing the functioning and development of agglomerations in rural areas;

the implementation of the mechanism for managing the functioning and development of agglomerations in rural areas should be carried out in stages at both the strategic and operational levels.

Abstract. An analysis of the development of dairy cattle breeding shows that the number of cattle in the country is decreasing every year (from 19 793.9 thousand heads in 2010 to 17 488.6 thousand heads in 2022), including cows (from 8713.0 thousand in 2010 to 7734.7 thousand in 2022). At the same time, from 2010 to 2022, the gross milk yield in the country increased from 31 507.8 thousand to 32 983.7 thousand tons. The article identifies the features and contribution of various forms of management in milk production. The growth of gross milk production is ensured by increasing the milk yield of cows. Here, an important role belongs to government support measures that contribute to an increase in the average milk yield per cow. The current trends are typical for all regions of the country with highly developed dairy cattle breeding. In recent years, the ratio of the breed composition of the dairy cows has changed significantly, in 2010-2022 the share of Holstein cows increased by more than 50%. At the same time, a significant genetic potential in dairy cattle breeding remains untapped. The number of breeding animals in breeding farms is decreasing. At the same time, the import of breeding cattle is decreasing, and its breed diversity is also decreasing – from 7 to 5 breeds. Significant efforts are to be made both to increase the number of cattle in the country and to improve the quality of work with the dairy herd.

The concept of agricultural development in region with environmental constraints (based on the materials of the Republic of Buryatia)

Elena V. Dorzhieva

East Siberia State University of Technology and Management, Ulan-Ude, Russia

Abstract. The article examines the peculiarities of the development of agriculture in regions with ecological restrictions. A methodology for calculating the level of environmental restrictions is proposed and the grouping of the regions of the Far Eastern and Siberian Federal Districts on this basis was carried out. A model of the functioning of the agro-socio-ecological-economic system of the region has been developed, establishing the interrelationships and interaction of innovative eco-oriented agriculture with the economic, social and environmental spheres. A concept for the development of agriculture in the Republic of Buryatia has been proposed. Scenarios for its development in inertial and optimistic variants have been considered.

Keywords: agriculture, environmental restrictions, Baikal region, Far Eastern and Siberian Federal Districts, specially protected natural territories, World Natural Heritage sites, agro-socio-ecological-economic system, concept

Assessment of the dynamics of owner’s equity capital of agricultural holdings in the Russian Federation

Abstract. The aim of the work is to assess the dynamics of the equity capital of agricultural holdings in the Russian Federation in order to analyze changes in their financial, economic and investment potential, as well as to identify factors that affect the change in such dynamics. The study was conducted on the basis of balance sheet data from a sample of 50 individual legal entities - mainly management companies related to the country’s leading agricultural holdings. The trend of increasing both the nominal and real value of the equity capital of agricultural holdings during 2009-2021 is revealed. The trend changed in 2022. The main factors influencing the dynamics of the real value of equity capital of agricultural holdings during the analyzed period are the following: state financial and administrative support; withdrawal from the domestic market of foreign companies-competitors starting from 2014. It is proved that as the real value of equity (that is, the base of comparison) increases, the degree of influence of inflation and the key rate of the Bank of Russia has a greater impact on the dynamics of the studied indicators than other factors. This pattern makes anti-inflationary measures and cheaper loans more appropriate in the list of possible tools for state regulation of the agro-industrial complex. As the real value of equity grows, the marginal usefulness of direct financial support for the subjects under study also decreases. The value of return on equity in terms of net profit of the studied subjects in the amount of 17.17% in the economic conditions of the Russian Federation is estimated by us as one that allows the industry to develop, but does not indicate the presence of superprofit and the possibility of rapid accumulation of investment potential for significant activation of investment processes in related and other industries. In such circumstances, state financial and administrative support for the agricultural sector remains relevant, given the continuing need to ensure the country’s food security.

Keywords: agro-industrial complex, agricultural holding, own capital, profit, return on equity, inflation, key rate of the Bank of Russia, price of loans, investment potential, investment companies

Cooperation as a tool for agricultural and rural development

Natalia V. Rodnina

Arctic State Agrotechnological University, Yakutsk, Russia

Abstract. The article discusses the problems of the functioning of agriculture in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Despite the annual increase in financing of the agricultural sector for a decade, the region has seen a decrease in the number of cattle, the instability of the number of herd horses and reindeer is noted, quality indicators in animal husbandry are declining, the parameters of self-sufficiency of the region with food products, defined by Decree of the Head of the Republic dated December 11, 2018 No. 232, are not achieved. The purpose of the study, the author determined the need to change approaches, in particular, management tools and mechanisms. The necessity of developing cooperation in agriculture is emphasized. To solve this problem, it is necessary to improve legislation and regulation in the field of cooperation. Government support is needed. The development of cooperation today should become one of the priorities of state policy and a necessary factor for the sustainability and revival of Russian agricultural entrepreneurship as a whole.

Problems of the social sphere of the village and personnel providing for enterprises of the agro-industrial complex

Galina N. Tuguskina

Penza State University, Penza, Russia

Abstract. The successful development of the agro-industrial complex and ensuring food security in Russia is impossible without qualified personnel who are called upon to solve these problems at the level of each region. The article analyzes the reasons affecting the supply of personnel in agro-industrial complexes using the example of the Penza region. The study revealed a steady downward trend in both the rural population and the number of people employed in agriculture in the region. The analysis showed that the main factors that have a negative impact on attracting personnel to work in rural areas are: poor housing stock in rural settlements; lack of opportunity to receive quality medical care; shortage of teachers in schools; insufficiency of cultural and leisure institutions; poor transport accessibility. It is concluded that changing the current situation, ensuring a comfortable standard of living in rural areas, thereby making work in rural areas attractive, especially for young professionals, is possible only through the joint efforts of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex, municipal and federal authorities.

Keywords: qualified personnel, rural settlements, rural population, wages, transport accessibility, personnel providing
