Agricultural policy: implementation mechanism

13-23 490
Abstract

The goal is to analyze the current state of Russian agriculture and the main problems of its further development. Designate indicators and parameters of macroeconomics that must be taken into account when assessing structural changes. Propose an algorithm for the formation of structural policy in Russian agriculture, justify the need and main problems of its implementation.

Methods – the work on the article was carried out on the basis of the application of general scientific empirical methods in the framework of comparative, logical and statistical analysis, as well as through the analysis of structure and dynamics, tabular and graphical interpretation of information, etc.

Relevance – it is noted that by 2020, the recovery growth in agricultural economy, which began at the turn of the century, has been completed, which made it possible to overcome the decline in production in the 1990s, ensure the country's food independence and create conditions for the transition to export-oriented development. At the same time, the indicators of the country's self-sufficiency in a number of products (milk, vegetables and melons, potatoes, fruits and berries), which were established by the Food Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation, have not been achieved. The share of spending on food in the family consumer budgets remains high. The development of agriculture is highly dependent on the supply of foreign technologies, machinery and equipment, seeds and breeding material, which creates risks for food security. The growth of agricultural production has little effect on the solution of social problems of the countryside. The intensification of agricultural production leads to the aggravation of environmental problems.

Results – in the framework of this article, the directions of structural policy in Russian agriculture are considered, according to which the strategic documents of industry development are being adjusted. The author also considers the main directions of agricultural and rural policy aimed to solve these problems: stimulating investment in the industry; improvement of scientific and technical support for agriculture; measures to reduce price volatility in agri-food market; overcoming the departmental approach to rural development and diversifying the rural economy; measures to improve soil fertility and ecological situation in agriculture.

Conclusions – the areas of improvement of agricultural policy which are considered in the framework of the article, the work on which is actively being carried out today by AIC management bodies, will play an important role in the development of agro-industrial complex of Russia. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure compliance between the tasks set for AIC to achieve the country's food security, increasing export potential of domestic agri-food products, sustainable development of rural areas and envisaged measures, as well as financial resources which are allocated for the development.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

The aim of the article is to define and systematize a set of strategic directions for ensuring the sustainable development of rural areas of Ukraine.

Methods – when summarizing the scientific and methodological approaches of the study, analysis and synthesis, analogy and comparison were used. To assess the state and trends of socio-economic development of rural areas, production, demographic processes, employment of rural population, and incomes, the economic and statistical methods (comparative analysis, average and relative values, trend analysis, graphical method, index analysis, etc.) were used in analytical researches. Using the method of generalization, the strategic directions of the State policy to ensure the sustainable development of rural areas are determined. Using the methods of abstract-logical tools, the intermediate and final conclusions and proposals are formulated.

Results – the features of the rural areas development of Ukraine are determined. Based on the results of the analysis, the trend of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of agricultural production on the background of narrowing the sphere of agricultural labor, shortage of jobs, low wages, decrease in the level of employment of the rural population, deformation of its age structure, depopulation of rural settlements, etc. was revealed. The strategic directions of sustainable development of rural areas of Ukraine in social, economic, environmental and institutional-investment vectors are proposed.

Conclusions – the development of social processes in rural areas foresees the intensification of the development and gradual implementation of a set of regulatory, legal and organizational and economic measures, which should include, first of all, the implementation of certain strategic directions for the sustainable development of rural areas of Ukraine, which are justified in the course of the study.

Abstract

The article shows the features of quantitative assessment of the use of natural resources in agricultural sector, environmental impact factors in order to develop adaptation scenarios and mitigate their consequences are identified. This is an alternative option for environmentally sustainable development in agriculture, which allows rational use of land resources.

The purpose of the study is to determine the criteria for assessing the impact of agriculture on the environment components, in particular on the atmosphere, hydrosphere and land resources.

Methods of economic analysis, comparison, synthesis, decomposition are used for a comprehensive assessment of the functioning of an enterprise in production of agricultural products. In the process of working on this topic, the following results were obtained: an assessment of the impact of functioning of agro-industrial complex on the environment was done. According to the current methods for determining the degree of impact on land resources, the soil quality scores were calculated before and after it. Anthropogenic pressure on the atmosphere and water resources was assessed in accordance with equivalent indicators. On the basis of the results, the authors present recommendations and conclusions on the determination of data characterizing the impact of the stages of agricultural production on the environment.

The results of the calculations make it possible to make forecasts and assess the level of environmental safety in agricultural production.

Abstract

The goal is to study the experience of developed countries and the possibility of adapting the mechanism of public support for domestic agricultural sector.

Methods – analytical, economicstatistical, comparative analysis. In the work, the authors show the mechanism of government regulation in Germany, present the results of the implementation of State programs.

Results – studies confirm that in European countries the management of agro-industrial complex is carried out according to a clearly defined model for agricultural production development. The EU identifies two main areas of financing agricultural producer, which contribute to the increased competitiveness of agriculture in the world market, protecting the environment in rural areas, improving the quality of life in rural areas and stimulating employment. The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development annually allocates about 1.35 billion Euros to German agricultural entities.

Conclusions – in Kazakhstan, not all programs aimed at increasing the level of competitiveness of the entities of agro-industrial complex are sufficiently effective. One of the reasons is their level of planning indicators and activities that does not meet the current tasks. Thus, the decisive moment for the effective use of funds which are allocated to agriculture is not the amount of subsidies, but more accurate, targeted planning of support measures and the allocation of funds aimed at the development of rural areas and agricultural infrastructure activities. This is especially needed in the conditions of the EAEU, when a number of obligations on the effective development of agriculture and achievement of its competitiveness have been adopted.

Abstract

The goal is to provide a conceptual framework for a gradual transition to a circular economy through the analysis of authoritative literature sources.

Methods are based on the principles of system-structural analysis, scientific analysis and synthesis, and logical explanation and description of the problem are also presented. For various solutions, appropriate qualitative and quantitative research methods were used: analytical, synthetic, logical, etc.

Outcomes – the ways to increase resource efficiency by minimizing the use of primary natural resources (e.g. water, electricity), reducing pollution by synthetic fertilizers, and maximizing the use of biomaterials (e.g. agricultural waste) and treated wastewater, thus contributing to a smooth transition to the closed cycle economy in agricultural industry are presented. Taking into account the importance of the circular economy, the importance of supporting this concept at the State level should be noted.

Conclusions – the recycling of agricultural waste in the future will provide a number of benefits in economic, environmental and social aspects. The State should invest capital in the development of a circular economy, since in the long-term perspective the actual benefits of this transition will increase significantly. It is important to research not only the efficiency and functionality of the circular economy, but also to conduct the research and implement innovations that contribute to the functioning of this system.

Abstract

For Kazakhstan, the development of local self-government is a very relevant issue. This is due to general economic situation in the country, and the system of public administration. Therefore, the State, as well as scientific community, constantly pays attention to the socioeconomic condition and infrastructure of rural areas.

Methods – historical and logical analysis, comparisons and generalizations.

Results – it is shown that one of the important issues is the lack of clear and actually defined functions and powers at the lower levels of government. Based on the study of the experience of local government abroad, it was determined that in solving socio-economic issues it is necessary to endow local governments with sufficient rights and powers. The authors state that the government policy in the field of management at different levels requires the development of a system of local self-government, which must be considered as a method or tool for rational public administration. It is justified that the more powers are exercised, taking into account local conditions and opportunities, the more comprehensively they will meet the interests of the population and management will be more effective.

Conclusions – since the republican, regional and district budgets are an integral part of the general state budget, the distribution of income sources between them should be optimal, and rational. It is also necessary that financial instruments ensure the reduction of interbudgetary flows.

Abstract

The goal is to determine the role of bank lending to agriculture, to analyze the sectoral structure of loan investments in real sector of economy, the volume of loans to agricultural sector, to clarify the reasons for the reluctance of banks to lend to AIC and to study the factors hindering the development of lending relations.

In this regard, the objective was set to consider the state and identify problems of lending to agricultural entities by second-tier banks. The main problems of the availability of bank loans for agro-industrial enterprises are identified.

Results – the current state of lending to agricultural production by commercial banks was analyzed, the main problems of the availability of bank loans were considered, and proposals on the effective financing of enterprises in agricultural sector of economy of Kazakhstan in modern economic conditions were developed. It is shown that the provision of agricultural enterprises with credit resources is determined by a number of features inherent in agriculture. Thus, the risky nature of agricultural activities is noted due to specific features and the lack of liquid collateral. The paper notes that banks are attracted to large businesses that are able to provide collateral and, accordingly, qualify for a large amount of lending funds. These factors, along with the financial condition, are decisive for creditor banks.

Based on the analysis of bank lending to agricultural enterprises, it was concluded that the current system of lending to agricultural enterprises is not effective enough. The authors state that in order to ensure the availability of financial resources for agricultural producers, an optimal mechanism for the interaction between agricultural producers and commercial banks in lending procedure is necessary.

Abstract

The goal is to analyze and identify the range of problems in the development of forage base in Kazakhstan as one of the main factors influencing on the development of poultry farming.

Methods – the methods of graphical and general scientific analysis, including analytical and statistical, were used in the article. Within the framework of the analytical method, an analysis of the development of poultry sub-sector and forage bases in the regions of Kazakhstan was done. With the help of the statistical method, a review of the sown areas, the number of poultry in the context of the regions of the republic was carried out. The main sources of the study were statistical and empirical data on the development of the country's poultry industry.

Results – by applying the index method of statistical analysis, the calculation of the consumption of forage base per unit of physical poultry heads was done, an analysis of the provision of the poultry subsector with a forage base in dynamics was conducted, and regions of Kazakhstan that have priority opportunities for expanding the sown forage areas were identified. An analysis of the structure of fodder crops was done. Most of the forage acreage falls on fodder corn, the smallest part - on melons. Forage areas for cereals amounted to 12,815 ha, fodder legumes – about 8,224 ha, fodder root crops – about 4,603 ha and silage – about 9,173 ha. The analysis of the dynamics of the volumes of fodder crops, the number of livestock and poultry shows that a direct impact on the formation of domestic needs for ready-made fodder shows an increase in the number of livestock and poultry.

Conclusions – recommendations on the increase the volume of poultry production, sown areas for fodder crops have been developed. It is necessary to envisage the possibility of reimbursement of part (20%) of costs of poultry sub-sector, including the construction/expansion of feed mills in the State special investment project; expansion of poultry farms for production of freshly chilled meat; creation and expansion of enterprises for processing, procurement, transportation of poultry meat.

Abstract

The goal is to show the importance and consider the current state of agricultural production in personal subsidiary plots of the Damsinsky rural district of Akmola region.

Methods – system-structural and system-functional approaches to the study of agricultural production in the households of the district, which requires the use of various methods of scientific analysis: comparative, statistical, mathematical and economic, etc.

Results – the authors studied and assessed the structure of the natural and physical capital of this rural region. Also, for a complete assessment of the current state of the main performance indicators, an analysis of the income structure of these farms for the current year is given. The authors determined the degree of uniformity (not uniformity) of the distribution of agricultural land and livestock.

Conclusions – the study showed that the majority of private subsidiary farms in the Damsinsky rural district of the Akmola region are either engaged in agricultural production to a small extent or produce agricultural products only for their own consumption and belong to the category of "nonmarketable" household plots. The low level of development of their marketability is determined by such factors as high cost of fodder, lack of independent fodder harvesting, lack of pasture lands around settlements and the high level of their degradation today.

Food market

Abstract

The problems of improving intersectoral economic relations in the current conditions of economic development of Kazakhstan are determined by market forms of selling grain and grain products.

The goal – one of the main tasks to be solved - to provide a set of measures to overcome the imbalance in the relationship between agricultural and processing enterprises, since the organizational and economic relations between them are one of the bottlenecks in the grain product subcomplex.

Methods – comparative analysis, statistical and economic, system analysis, logical generalization.

Results – an increase in grain production requires the expansion of the capacities of enterprises in the elevator industry, mainly through new construction. Enterprises in modern conditions are characterized with increased capacity and more modern equipment in comparison with elevators in the territory of the CIS countries. As the main type of intersectoral interaction, the economic relations of agriculture and the elevator industry for the sale of grain are singled out.

Conclusions – in any form of ownership, the expensive fixed assets of elevators created over decades should be used rationally, in the interests of the entire food system of the country. In addition to the types of services, such as exchange operations, assistance in the preparation of varietal seeds of grain crops, elevators and grain-receiving enterprises should form commodity lots of grain for its producers, carry out commercial transactions on market on their behalf, and also engage in mortgage transactions. In conditions of limited material and financial resources for commodity producers, joint use of the capacities of large elevators, grain-receiving and processing enterprises acquires importance. Elevators and other grain-receiving enterprises, being the main participants in grain market of the Republic of Kazakhstan, are designed to ensure the promotion of grain from commodity producers to processors and directly to consumers, the main task of these enterprises is to give the grain a marketable appearance to maximize consumer demand.

Abstract

The goal is to determine the significance of the market of bread and bakery products of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Methods – analysis, synthesis, grouping comparison.

Results – based on statistical data, an analysis of the development of bread and bakery products market in dynamics over the past five years is given. The authors emphasized the strategic importance of the bread market as the most significant food product for the majority of the population. The share of regions of the republic in production of bakery and flour products is considered. The factors that reduce efficiency in the industry are studied. The uneven production volumes in dynamicsis noted. The regions that occupy a significant share in production of bread and bakery products have been identified. The influence of the average per capita nominal cash income and the subsistence minimum of the population on the level of demand for bread and bakery products is determined. Information is given on the cost of bread in the country and the factors that determine the level of prices for this product and the industry development.

Conclusions – on the basis of the analysis and the results of the study, the authors note a decrease in the volume of industrial production of bread and increase in prices for it, due to the baking in networks of superand hypermarkets that have their own bakeries. In general, one can note the stability of not only the production of bread and bakery products, but also the industry as a whole, the development prospects of which are associated with the increase in the competitiveness of the industry's products and the growth of its export potential.

Abstract

Grain cluster – is an organizational form of consolidation of the efforts of stakeholders, ensuring the competitiveness of the region.

The goal is to determine ways to improve the cluster organization of interaction, which is due to the fact that as part of the cluster, the consolidation of the efforts of enterprises aimed to achieve production and economic results reaches the highest level.

Methods – comparative, system analysis, statistical and economic, logical generalization.

Results – the most important part of economic relations of the cluster is the mechanism of distribution relations, which occurs in the process of the exchange of intermediate products, resources and services, the distribution of income from the sale of final products on foreign market. The functioning of the distribution system ensures the parity of interests of the cluster members, based on the fact that in the grain cluster, income from the sale of manufactured products is distributed along the technological chain based on prices and tariffs, through centralized funds created by the cluster members.

Conclusions – grain product cluster has a clear organizational structure, the most important part of which is the mechanism of distribution relations that arises during the exchange of intermediate products, resources and services, and distribution of income. The transport and logistics infrastructure is necessary to ensure the movement of products within the cluster and beyond it with the least material costs and losses in physical terms. The core of grain cluster should be enterprises engaged in production, grain storage and processing. Another part of it is processors: flour mills, feed mills and bakeries, pasta factories. The formation of clusters must be linked to the pricing mechanism in order to ensure equal efficiency for all participants.

Abstract

Meat and meat products occupy a special place in Kazakhstan, as they are historically one of the main national products and are a source of protein which is necessary for life.

The goal is to develop the main ways to increase the competitiveness of products in meat processing industry of the AIC. The meat processing industry is one of the main ones in the agro-industrial complex. Its structure is quite static, as it consists of two interrelated elements - livestock farms and meat processing enterprises that depend on food market.

Methods – comparative, statistical, economic and system analysis, logical generalization.

Results – Kazakhstan, which has a high potential for the development of animal husbandry, may be among the world leaders in meat processing sector. To solve this problem, it is necessary to strengthen economic base of processing enterprises, including meat processing enterprises, and to increase the competitiveness of their products in global commodity market of meat processing sector.

Conclusions – meat industry as a structural element of the AIC has developed on the basis of the functioning of integral production and economic system in a single technological chain. For the effective development of the country's meat processing industry, it is necessary to create a rational system of production and economic relations. The level of meat production in the republic does not yet satisfy the needs of the population. The livestock production of the republic has not yet switched to intensive methods of production and processing.

Abstract

The goal is to identify the features and prospects for production of dietary meat in Kazakhstan, to reveal the problems that constrain it.

Methods – statistical, sociological research, analytical.

Results – the development of poultry and rabbit breeding industries is shown. Additional opportunities for expanding the dietary meat market are analyzed: growing ostriches, quails, turkeys, etc. The paper assesses the export and import of poultry meat and by-products, the dynamics of poultry farming indicators over a number of years. A comparative analysis of the efficiency of breeding cattle and ostriches has been carried out. The reasons hindering the expansion of production of dietary meat are summarized: competitive advantages of producing countries in CIS and abroad; historically developed mentality of the population; low level of advertizing; lack of veterinary certification for ostrich and rabbit meat, bird flu; insignificant interest from investors.

Conclusions – there is a need for effective public support for the development of the industry on the basis of concessional lending to entrepreneurship, tax exemption for enterprises during the formation of this type of business, public assistance in the field of product certification; support for R&D by investor to empower the industry; its modernization, equipping with the latest equipment, improving technologies for obtaining environmentally friendly organic products. The production of dietary meat is economically profitable and has the potential for its comprehensive distribution on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Abstract

Mayonnaise is a product that exists for over 100 years and is one of the most beloved sauces in the world. The relevant trend in production of mayonnaise for human health is the decrease of the amount of fat, a balance in their composition, vegetarianism.

The goal is to investigate and analyze production and consumption of mayonnaise products in Kazakhstan.

Methods – comparative and system analysis, statistical and economic, logical generalization.

Results – the main feature of mayonnaise market is the independent supply of the need for this product in most countries. The share of the world imports of mayonnaise is 8% and tends to decrease. There has been no pronounced trend in Kazakhstani mayonnaise market in recent years. In 2019 the volume of domestic market for these products was estimated at 70.6 thousand tons. The recorded rate of decline in mayonnaise market volume in the republic per year was 9%. During the period under review, mayonnaise exports grew by 19% in physical terms and by 23% in terms of value.

Conclusions – despite the trends in a healthy lifestyle and the economic crisis which is associated with the spread of coronavirus infection in 2020, the level of consumption of mayonnaise not only remains high, but also increases. In case if there will be further increase of domestic production in the coming years, export sales will grow, while imports will presumably decline.

Abstract

The development of a methodology for the assessment of perennial plantations in Kazakhstan is a complex problem, and it has not yet been approved.

The purpose of the article is determined by the statistical data of the significance of the assessment of perennial plantations. The following methods were used in the study: empirical, theoretical and general science (observation, deductive method, analysis, synthesis, induction, classification).

Results – the authors state that the current plantations do not fully provide the population with fruits, so it is important to know their condition when converting agricultural land to perennial plantations. Having studied the climatic, soil conditions, knowing the price, condition of the land, it is necessary to improve the methods of planting perennial plantations in all regions of the country.

Conclusions – the conducted studies made it possible to determine the long-term effectiveness of perennial plantations based on a cadastral assessment, and in terms of market conditions the competitiveness and productivity of existing plantations can be determined by economic methods.

Social problems of the village

170-177 357
Abstract

The goal is to assess the current situation of social development of the village, identify the main factors hindering the revival of rural areas, reduction of the number of rural population, especially young people, and migration from the village to the city. Determination of the measures aimed to ensure employment, infrastructure development, favorable conditions for improving the living standards of rural residents.

Methods – analytical, economic-statistical, monographic, calculation-constructive.

Results – analysis of the current state of social development of the village was carried out, during which disproportions in the age structure of the rural population of the republic, trends in reduction of the number of young people and increasing the number of the retired people, changes in the number of rural settlements that have the necessary potential to create a comfortable living environment for the population and trends in the subsequent abolition of villages have been revealed.

Conclusions – the problems of population migration from rural areas to the cities, the lack of jobs that force people to work outside their place of residence, low incomes of rural residents, the outflow of young people from villages to the cities justify the need to develop comprehensive measures for rural development, including improvement of living conditions through the development of housing, communal and social infrastructure, expanding the scope of activities in the countryside through the development of not only agricultural sector, but also service sector, construction, storage systems, primary processing of agricultural products, agritourism, crafts. The complexity of solving the problems of rural areas will contribute to the revival of the village, the stable growth of agricultural production and other sectors of economy of rural areas.

Abstract

Aim – analysis of the current state and identification of the main reasons hindering the development of cooperation of small businesses in agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan based on the example of Almaty region. It is important to unite the efforts of agricultural producers to protect their interests, share land, machinery, equipment and provide basic production means.

Methodsanalytical, economic-statistical, monographic, calculation-constructive.

Results – assessment of the current state of agricultural cooperatives in the republic and Almaty region, their development trends was carried out. The dynamics of growth and reduction of their number in the context of the regions of the republic and districts of Almaty region is presented. Also the number of livestock, the volume of agricultural production are shown from 2017 to 2021. The main reasons hindering their development have been studied; potential opportunities and priority directions for strengthening agricultural cooperatives have been identified.

Conclusions – on the basis of the obtained data, the solution of the existing problems of agriculture and agro-industrial complex as a whole is justified. Among the necessary measures, we include the unification of small peasant, private farms and households, which will contribute to the efficient use of land, production, labor and other agricultural resources. It is also important to develop infrastructure in the countryside, the system for promoting products "from the field to the counter". The special role of cooperating small forms of business lies in the prospects for increasing the incomes of the rural population, which is a priority of socio-economic policy of the state and one of the tasks of the National Project on Development of AIC RK for 2021-2025.
