Determinant problems of agricultural development in Russia

The complex and contradictory conditions of the new economic reality, including geopolitical and geo-economic changes, characterized by such processes as globalization, greening, the weakening of the national currency, the sanctions policy of Western countries, and the instability of the foreign policy situation, have a negative impact on the development of agriculture in Russia. In this connection, there is a need to identify the key determinant problems that determine the vector of development of the agricultural sector. Within the framework of the conducted scientific research, the following key determinant problems were identified: insufficient state support and financing; imperfect state regulation; shortage of qualified personnel; high level of indebtedness of agricultural producers; the presence of unused agricultural land; insufficient level of development of agricultural insurance; low investment attractiveness of the industry and its dependence on imports of seeds and agricultural machinery. It is proved that during the period of socio-economic transformations, the volume of state support for the development of agriculture not only increased, but also several times exceeded tax revenues to the federal budget, which can be considered as an impetus for the investment development of the agricultural sector. The theoretical basis of the scientific research was the works of domestic scientists-economists, devoted to the current problems and prospects of the agricultural industry. The methodological apparatus of the study is based on monographic, analytical and statistical-economic methods. It is established that the problems of the development of the domestic agricultural industry and the ways to solve them are interrelated. It is determined that the key tool for getting out of this situation is the system of state strategic planning, which is implemented through a program approach. The mechanism for implementing this approach is public-private partnership.
