Organizational and economic aspects of increasing the competitiveness of the sugar beet subcomplex of the Russian Federation

The article discusses the issue of the sugar beet production effectiveness and ways of its competitiveness increasing. The authors analyzed the current state of the sugar beet subcomplex for making strategy of the development and improving the mechanism for managing economic relations. According to the Federal State Statistics Service, in 2020 the sown area of sugar beet in the Russian Federation amounted to 918.3 thousand hectares, which is 207.4 thousand hectares less than it was in 2019 The largest sown areas are in the Krasnodar Krai and the Voronezh Region (171.1 and 114.4 thousand hectares, respectively). On average, the yield of sugar beet was 364.3 c / ha, the maximum was 517.4 c / ha in the Altai Krai, and the minimum was 119.3 in the Chechen Republic. The decrease in yield varies from 2.9 c / ha in the Chuvash Republic to 224.2 c / ha in the Rostov region. According to the authors, despite the fact that in 2020 there was a decrease in the sugar-beet production, this industry remains attractive for investment, it is necessary that there should be a tendency to reduce costs production during storing of the finished products for ensuring of competitiveness in the export market. The problem of effective development of the sugar industry is urgent. The solution to the problem will be possible only through achieving high quality of the produced seeds and root crops of sugar beet, diversification of production directed at expanding of the products range, production of liquid sucrose, concentrated solutions of glucose and fructose, inverted syrups, resource conservation and ecologization, using of available resources for getting the largest amount of products. The competitiveness of sugar beet production is the priority state task that is related to the stabilization of the food market in the region and, in this regard, it needs government support, which makes it possible to reduce imports, as well as to support the domestic producers.
