Sustainable development of agro-industrial complex: management strategy

Objective – problems of discrepancy between rate of potential growth of economic systems and possibility of ensuring reproductive processes due to intensive use of natural resources, as well as risks of environmental disasters are shown.

Methods – strategic management in determining factors of macroeconomic growth, based on systems approach, socio-economic mechanism for managing competitiveness of agro-industrial complex is considered.

Results – the study revealed insufficient attention to primary initiatives for stabilizing agro-industrial production related to monitoring indicators in this area, which necessitated the search for new models aimed at eliminating such contradictions. Over the past two decades, a number of programs have been implemented in Kazakhstan aimed at stable progress, innovative transformations in agricultural sector at international, national and regional levels.

Conclusions - the authors believe that in order to achieve complex economic, social and environmental goals of building economy of the republic, it is necessary to adjust the existing concept of transition of the Republic of Kazakhstan to sustainable development based on development of long-term and tactical plans and measures to reduce existing risks. The balance of target indicators is possible if the conditions for interaction of certain elements are met: conducting agricultural activities and complying with environmental standards; stimulating social component and generating consumer demand for environmentally friendly goods; reducing harmful impact on the environment and rural areas; increasing the profitability of agricultural entities and increasing the level of employment; it is important to expand markets for agricultural products. To support domestic food exports, it is necessary not only to modernize and increase processing and storage capacities, but also take measures to update the rolling stock and logistics schemes. The results obtained can be used by all participants in the process of transforming agriculture in the context of digitalization.
