Authors: Golovina L , Logacheva O 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Due to the solid motivation of business activity of farmers from the state during the implementation of the Programs on Development of Agriculture and Regulation of Markets of Agricultural Products, Raw Materials and Food for 2008-2012 and 2013-2020, agricultural organizations have taken a leading position among producers of commercial agricultural products. Over the past ten years, they have been able to radically change their economic behavior: modifying the nature of agribusiness management; increasing financial responsibility for its results, responding more adequately to market signals; taking into account demand; looking for profitable sales channels; focusing on the process of technical and technological re-armament; learning relevant professions; finding new approaches to people, developing a strategy and tactics to create conditions for expanded reproduction, intensification of production processes; and increasing the efficiency of commercial activities. In order to maintain the achieved positive results for the long term, agricultural organizations need the most constructive approach to effectively regulate the reproductive process, focusing on the continuous improvement and long-term transformations in economic relations.
Selecting an optimal model of cooperation in the vegetable industry in Russia: vertical integration, agrarian dies, clusters
Authors: Mindlin Yu , Lebedev N 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The article gives a brief description of the existing problems of vegetable growing in the Russian Federation. It is shown that hierarchical (in the form of vertical integration) or network (in the form of agrarian fillers or clusters) models of the functioning of the vegetable industry can be used to solve them. A comparative analysis of these models is provided in the paper. It is shown that a rapid increase in production can be achieved on the basis of vertical integration. However, for ensuring the sustainable development of the industry, it is necessary to use network models. Thus, stable and efficient functioning of the vegetable industry in our country should be based on the balance of hierarchical and network models.
The impact of the competitiveness of Russian agri-food products on the dynamics of Russian foreign trade
Authors: Maslova V , Zaruk N , Avdeev M 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The article notes the special importance of the turnover of food products and agricultural raw materials in international trade. Based on the analysis performed, it was revealed that despite the positive dynamics in the structure of foreign trade in food products (reduction of imports and increase in exports), the trade balance of these products remains negative. To overcome this trend, it is necessary to solve a set of tasks related to the growth of production and increase of competitiveness. In order to identify the price competitiveness of domestic agri-food products, a comparative analysis of the competitiveness of average producer prices and export prices for the main types of products in 2013-2017 was carried out in the Russian Federation and in the leading countries in the export of these products in the world. The study shows that Russian prices were competitive in most of the considered types of agri-food products. The result of the import substitution policies in recent years was the growth of production and the reduction of imports for a number of agri-food products. In addition, the depreciation of the national currency ensured the growth of competitiveness of domestic agri-food products on the world market and led to an increase in exports. In order to increase the competitiveness of products, it is necessary to consistently reduce production and logistics costs, reduce losses through the use of innovative technologies, and improve product quality. In order to systematically increase agricultural exports, it is necessary to create a modern export infrastructure, form an effective system of branding and promotion of Russian agri-food products, develop a coordinated system of measures of state support for non-primary exports.
Economic analysis and justification of the directions of innovative development of the Krasnodar region’ agroeconomics
Authors: Bershitsky Yu , Saifetdinov A 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The analysis of the current state of the agricultural economy of the Krasnodar region is conducted, and the priority directions of its innovative development are substantiated, including the increase in the productivity of livestock and crop production sectors, the level of technical and technological equipment of production and the effectiveness of state support for commodity producers. The necessity of restoration and development of branch science is noted with the intensification of the processes of its integration with private capital, education, and production. A critically high dependence of commodity producers on imported seeds of high-yielding varieties and hybrids of individual crops has been established and recommendations have been formulated to reduce it. It has been established that the most problematic subsectors that hamper the implementation of the import substitution program in the region are the meat and dairy cattle breeding sectors, which require their primary improvement. The necessity of developing the livestock breeding as an important factor of preservation and restoration of soil fertility in the region due to growth of production volumes and application of organic fertilizers, as well as expansion of the area of sowings of perennial and annual grasses, is substantiated in the paper. It is noted that an important direction to improve the efficiency of the agro-economy of the region is to strengthen the system of its state support and the development of small forms of management with deepening the processes of cooperation and integration.

State support for the production of cattle meat: the experience of countries with high levels of self-sufficiency
Authors: Metelkova E , Demishkevich G , Gusev A 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The relevance of this study is due to the decline in recent years observed in the production of beef and veal, which does not allow to fully ensure food security. The article deals with the use of mechanisms of state support for the development of cattle meat production, as one of the main food products. The purpose of this article is to identify the mechanisms of state support for the development of beef cattle breeding in the most successful countries, which food security index for cattle meat production did not fall below 70% over the period of 2012-2016. Their experience of state support allows for a timely stabilization of the market situation. The leading method for studying this problem is statistical analysis. The study was based on official data of international organizations and foreign organizations. Based on the self-sufficiency assessment, 11 countries were selected to consider the existing state support mechanisms. The results of the study allowed us to identify the main areas of subsidies: research, modernization, support for pedigree cattle breeding, as well as support for developing farmers. Application of the experience of state support for the development of beef cattle through indirect measures will contribute to the prospects for the development of production, both quantitative and qualitative. At the same time, indirect support does not depend on the specifics of ensuring the production of cattle meat, associated with climatic factors and technological development of the country, which allows the application of measures in practice regardless of them.

Conceptual bases for the formation of an effective investment policy of business entities in the agricultural business of Russia
Authors: Sinyavin V , Yanina T , Podrezov A 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The article considers the sequence of actions proposed by the authors in the framework of planning and subsequent practical implementation of the concept of investment policy of regional economic entities operating in the field of agricultural production. Most agricultural producers in the regions of the Russian Federation face the problem of lack of financial resources. At the same time, the insufficient level of economic efficiency makes them investment unattractive, which prevents the inflow of investor capitals. According to the authors, the concept of a universal (acceptable regardless of industry sector and scale of activity) investment policy that provides for such actions by the management of an economic entity that would help to find hidden corporate reserves, increase productivity and investment attractiveness is able to reverse the current situation. The formation of a similar concept was stated as the purpose of the study. The novelty of the research is determined by the algorithm of formation and implementation of the concept of an effective investment policy of regional agricultural producers.

Feasibility study of the optimal type of a potato harvester for the conditions of the Moscow region
Authors: Chutcheva Yu , Telegina Zh , Dorokhov A 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The level of technical equipment of agricultural producers, primarily agricultural machinery, creates the potential aimed at increasing the competitive advantages and efficiency of agricultural production. The consequence of the economic changes that have taken place in the agrarian sector of the Russian economy over the past 30 years has been the physical and moral obsolescence of machinery and equipment, and therefore a significant reduction in the volume of mechanized field work. The observed rates of reproduction of the machine-tractor park neither in terms of quantity nor in terms of energy capacities are sufficient for the full development of the agri-food sector and addressing the issues of food supply of the population. Domestic agricultural producers manage to maintain the technical readiness of the worn-out machine-tractor fleet at the level of 60-62%, which ensures participation in the production of 30-35% of the park of machinery in comparison with the real need. Many years of in-depth study by the authors in the course of scientific research on theoretical approaches to improving the reproduction of the machine-tractor fleet and raising the level of technical equipment for agricultural producers allowed to formulate certain authors’ approaches to solving the existing problems. In particular, as a result of the study, the authors carried out a feasibility study on the use of the optimal type of potato harvester as applied to the conditions of potato cultivation in the Moscow region. That will improve the efficiency of potato cultivation, reduce the losses of producers from injury of tubers in the process of harvesting.
Macromodelling of food and raw material links between large-scale specialized zones for the development of animal husbandry
Authors: Yashina M , Solntseva O 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
One of the ways to improve the efficiency of production is the deepening of specialization and the development of interregional relations. The problems of rational specialization and optimal commodity flows have been troubling the scientific economists over the past two centuries. It is especially important to address the issues of territorial and sectoral division of labor for industries whose production efficiency differs significantly in different regions and is suitable for transportation. The article describes the methodological approaches to the improvement of interregional raw materials and food links in animal husbandry based on the formation of large-scale specialized commodity zones on the example of the Russian Federation. The first task of the study was to identify several large-value zones of specialization in the production of livestock products. As a result of solving the second task, two goals were achieved at the same time: (a) optimization of cattle breeding and (b) the interregional exchange of feed and meat and dairy products. To achieve the goals, we used a combination of statistical and economic-mathematical methods, a combination of several models of optimal linear programming. As a result of the research, five areas of specialization were identified, depending on the level of livestock production and the availability of the natural and economic potential for the development of the subsector, the placement of livestock in those zones has been optimized. In addition, a scheme has been developed for the interregional food exchange and the development of commodity relations. The presented methodological approaches can be used to solve similar problems both at the international level (CIS, EAEU, etc.), and for smaller territorial units, such as federal districts or individual regions.

Authors: Zeldner A 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Investment combined with innovation is an essential condition for the growth and development of the socio-economic system. In essence, investments are defined as long-term capital investments in the economy in order to ensure sustainable rates of expanded reproduction. Investments are characterized by the fact that they are always limited, and here it is important to correctly determine the priorities that can maximize the final result. These indisputable priorities include the agro-industrial complex, ensuring the food security of the country. The purpose of the article is determined taking into account the emerging tensions with investment resources of the state, in connection with which it is proposed to intensify the attraction of private investments in the agro-industrial complex, using the experience of economic levers and incentives already approved in the country, aimed at attracting private investments in special economic zones and priority development areas. The analysis of the effectiveness of the special economic zones, including their questioning, conducted by the author and combined with the study of the foreign experience of China and other countries, led to the conclusion about the effectiveness of using the public-private partnership mechanism to attract private investment. The system of economic levers and incentives for attracting investment is proposed in the article.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
The paper focuses on the methodological foundations of the economic evaluation of technical means of production and the conceptual positions of the scientific support of the problems being developed to improve economic relations of partners on the basis of mutual interest. A method for the economic evaluation of the quality of technical equipment based on the calculation of compensating costs and equalizing charges, the laws of their change when using aging equipment is proposed. It is shown that equalization charges, reflecting the changing quality of machines, can be used to correct depreciation methods. It is proposed to use the step-wise depreciation method, in which the entire initial cost is transferred to the depreciation fund reflecting the changing quality of the machine.

Abstract
The article discusses the features of the Russian model of legal regulation of agricultural relations. The relevant experience is analyzed in historical retrospect using the historical-comparative method. With the help of the formal legal method, the research shows the feature of the rules of law governing agricultural relations. On the basis of the revealed regularities, the recommendations applicable in contemporary conditions are formulated. The article notes that the agricultural issue in Russia in all ages was among the most acute, which was determined by the traditional agricultural nature of the domestic economy. The article deals with the periodization of the dynamics of state regulation of agricultural relations. The fact of significant changes in approaches to the regulation of agricultural relations on the part of the state is used as the basis of periodization. There are five stages in the development of state-legal regulation of agricultural relations. A brief description of each stage is given, and their features are shown. The main attention is paid to the contemporary stage of development in agricultural relations. The authors’ position on the legality of the allocation of agricultural law as an independent complex branch of law is shown. Contemporary tendencies, problems, and prospects of development of agrarian law in contemporary Russia are discussed. It is concluded that the effective and rational legal regulation of agricultural relations should be aimed at the preservation and development of land and land use as the basis of all economic activity in the agricultural sector. In the context of global turbulence and increasing threats to national security, the effective development of the agricultural sector of the economy is a strong guarantee of Russia’s prosperity.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
The article states that the model of rural economy and rural area development formed in the Russian Federation as a result of transition of the economic paradigm is in deep controversy with actual interests and needs of considerable share of rural population and agricultural producers. The need is reasoned for designing prospective models of balanced territorial and sectoral development of regional agro-food complexes taking into account the specific features of agrarian structure of a region, conditions of development level of agricultural production and rural areas, and aimed at creation of the conditions promoting food security of the country, growth of the efficiency of using the rural development potential, mitigation of controversies between the subjects of agrarian relations and balance of their economic interests. The expediency of using such models as part of the deepening the differentiated approach to the development of rural areas, as stated in the “Strategy for the Sustainable Development of Rural Territories of the Russian Federation – 2030,” is pointed out. It is noted that the designed models of balanced territorial-sectoral development of regional agro-food complexes will be a formalized description of the conceptual provisions that determine the evolution of agro-economic systems at the regional level, differentiated according to the structure of the agrarian sector and the development level of agriculture and rural areas, under the conditions of increasing social responsibility of agribusiness, as well as reflecting the state’s place as a natural macro-regulator in the process management system of rural development and allowing assessing the economic and social implications of alternative scenarios for the development of agro-economic systems.
