Topical issues of development of the AIC of the Republic of Belarus

The article presents the results of the study of the trends in development of agroindustrial complex of the Republic of Belarus in the context of global challenges and new conditions for ensuring national food security.

The aim of the study is to scientifically systematize the factors of sustainable and efficient functioning of the AIC and justify the promising directions for the development of production-economic potential. During the work, research methods were used: monographic, economic-statistical, expert-analytical.

Results – directions for improving the efficiency of agro-industrial complex have been developed, including: a) increasing the productivity and efficiency of industries (preserving and increasing soil fertility; widespread use of nanopreparations as microfertilizers; development of intensive fodder production), b) sustainable interaction of the subjects in agro-food chain (creation of effective resource zones; optimization and stimulation of production of a sufficient volume of agricultural raw materials, taking into account the need for processing), c) optimization of foreign economic activity – improving the system of export financing (lending, insurance, compensation for losses); d) enhancement of innovation and investment activities (introduction of a project financing mechanism; creation of conditions for the growth of investments directed to the introduction of resource-, nature- and energy-saving technologies), e) ensuring the quality of products and raw materials (creating an information base of industry regulations for standard production technological processes; development of economic mechanism for stimulating quality).

Conclusions – approaches and measures for the implementation of these areas in the frame of the current State Program "Agricultural Business" for 2021–2025, as well as targets for the development of domestic AIC, were analyzed.
