Растениеводство Северо-Казахстанской области как основа сельскохозяйственного кластера и обеспечения продовольственной безопасности населения

Abstract

The scientific article discusses the features of the development and location of crop production in the North Kazakhstan region, which is the main key branch of the agricultural cluster of the region and the basis for ensuring food security of the population. The purpose of the work is to identify the current state and trends in the development of the industry. Applying the economic and geographical method of research, the authors of the article conclude that ensuring food security both for the population of a particular region and for the country as a whole is possible by solving two main problems. This is a transition to an innovative way of development and acceleration of import products substitution. All this poses an important strategic task for the agro-industrial complex to increase the efficiency of production in agriculture, including crop production. The North Kazakhstan region, being one of the leading regions in the structure of agricultural production of the Republic of Kazakhstan, is the most interesting from a scientific point of view for studying the tasks set.
