Modernization of the mechanism of state regulation of regional Russian agro-industrial complex under new social and economic constructs

The article highlights the obstacles in building the necessary amount of food and in ensuring the full import substitution based on the efficient use of the available resources: Russia's lagging behind economically developed countries in the technical and technological modernization of agricultural sectors; low-rate processes of production intensification in the ongoing targeted programs; insufficient use of existing competitive advantages of individual regions. Consequently, in the current environment of increased competition between agricultural commodity producers of different countries, the mechanism of Russian agriculture state support needs to be improved. Based on the analysis of threats due to Russia's entry into the WTO in terms of sanctions imposed by the European Union in relation to the events in Ukraine, the authors proposed and justified measures aimed at modernizing the mechanism of state regulation of regional agriculture of Russia in the new economic and social constructs. In order to develop a high-tech industrial chain in agricultural business, the authors have developed the mechanism of functioning production and logistics agrocenter organized to bring together competences and cooperation between enterprises in different industries. Agrocenter is a special investment area, which should be provided with all necessary infrastructure and professional management for subsequent placement on the same territory: commercial resident working in the agricultural sector; commercial residents working in the transport and warehouse complex; financial market enterprises and organizations for quality control and certification; consulting firms for the development and promotion agrocenter; consumers of agricultural products: manufacturing, wholesale and retail, commercial enterprises, social sphere.
