Regional policy of increasing the efficiency of the agro-industrial complex functioning

The study conducted by the authors showed that there is an imbalance between exports and imports, production and consumption of the main types of agricultural products, which were affected by the imposed sanctions and the elimination of the consequences of the pandemic, despite the generally positive dynamics of development in the regional market. Export of products over the past three years has increased by 171.5 million dollars USA (69.3%), the growth rate of imports of products for 2019-2021. amounted to 15%, that is 22.9 less than in 2010. The positive dynamics of the development of agricultural production increases the market capacity, provides safe food, and implements complex of measures to preserve the environment. The analysis of statistical data for the past five years indicates that the region has developed a fairly stable production of the main types of agricultural products. Over the past five years the average sown area of grain and leguminous crops is 909645.4 hectares, potatoes - 16255.6 hectares, sugar beet5403.4 hectares. The study allows us to conclude that the strategic direction of development of the agro-industrial complex of the region has a socio-economic component aimed at long-term contracts that provide a decent standard of living for the rural population and equal opportunities for any region of the Russian Federation. To achieve the tasks, it is necessary to closely cooperate with all structural units of the production chain, to carry out activities aimed at increasing the competitiveness of the industry. It is important to keep as much of the export earnings as possible in the hands of directly regional agricultural enterprises, but not in large trading houses-traders, in the context of a shortage of investments and rising cost of loans. Such an approach will ensure a stable inflow of investments and support the development of agriculture, on which the solution of the key task of ensuring food security for the population depends.
