Abstract
The determining factor in the spatial development of agriculture was still natural conditions, however, in many regions there was a constant violation of the interaction of socio-economic and natural factors that form a relatively stable combination of dominant and complementary types of agriculture and its individual sub-sectors. Despite certain positive aspects in the spatial organization of agriculture in a few regions, which has recently begun to take into account the bioclimatic potential of the country's territory to a greater extent, its location and specialization still do not fully meet the requirements of regional systems of industry management, the creation of specialized high-tech production zones on certain types of agricultural products and sustainable development of rural areas. The existing long-term disproportions in the spatial development of agriculture are manifested in almost most regions. Its predominantly spontaneous spatial self-organization is largely a movement towards territorial desertification and economic degradation of a significant part of the country's rural areas, especially the vast but sparsely populated northern and eastern regions of the country. In this regard, when developing a forecast for the spatial development of agriculture and the layout and specialization of production for certain types of agricultural products, it is necessary to take into account not only the existing proportions of the spatial organization of the industry, but also its high inertia, which is due to the long-term nature of most of the factors that form them, since the force of inertia will continue to “shift proportions” towards the west, which predetermines a low probability of a cardinal change in the situation not only in the medium term, but possibly in the long term as well.
