Priorities of economic strategy of functioning of sugar beet subcomplex of the Russian Federation

The article deals with one of the priorities of state economic policy - improving the efficiency and competitiveness of the sugar industry, which provides the improvement of forms and mechanisms of state support for Agro Industrial Complex in order to maintain investment attractiveness. The main policy activities in the sugar beet growing are directed at: increasing sustainable development of the sugar beet production based on its modernization, ensuring safe production, established by the Doctrine concerning sugar produced from sugar beet. This will increase the production volume of sugar beets to 37.04 million tons; the reduction of energy consumption - the fuel consumption at sugar beet processing up to 4.4% by weight of processed beet, reduction of losses of sugar beet during storage up to 3%, reducing sugar losses during sugar beet processing to 2.45% by weight of processed beet. The authors have determined the trends of the sugar industry, which is based on the satisfaction of the needs of the Russian sugar beet farms with high quality seeds and full displacement of foreign breeding and seed companies from the market of sugar-beet seeds. To achieve these goals it is necessary to ensure the production of factory sugar beet with specified qualitative parameters, to make the reconstruction and modernization of the acting sugar plants on the basis of innovative technologies and resource saving equipment. It is necessary to provide support of economically significant regional programs on development of beet sugar production; reimbursement of expenses for short-term loans for the purchase of Russian agricultural raw materials for primary and industrial processing. The involvement of regional budgets in the financing of infrastructure projects of the enterprises of the sugar industry; renovation and modernization of the sugar beet plants and sugar beet harvesting equipment are of great importance. The problem of effective development of sugar industry is a relevant and priority in solving the problems of regional policy, the implementation of which will allow not only to eliminate these disparities and to reduce imports and to support native producer.
