Стратегия развития зернового комплекса России: новые возможности

Abstract

Russia has become the world leader in grain exports for the sixth year in a row. The country has a huge potential for the development of the grain industry, which is due not only to the presence of significant areas of fertile land, etc., but also to the increase in global turbulence, which generates powerful external incentives for the development of the grain complex of Russia – a high potential demand for grain. The “Long-term strategy for the development of the grain complex of Russia until 2035”, approved on August 10, 2019, promotes the use of new opportunities emerging in the global situation, provides for the formation of grain clusters. In the article, from the standpoint of system-synergetic, cluster, economic and global approaches, it is proposed to create a system of mutually complementary agro-industrial clusters of grain orientation. In the format of clusters, their functional structures, a system of biotechnologies, etc. they will solve a complex of development problems covering the entire value chain. This is, in particular, the problem of reducing soil fertility, moisture deficiency, especially in the South of Russia, the negative impact of global climate change and unfavorable market conditions, the need to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of grain farming. The elimination of grain losses only from grain diseases (fusariosis), as well as during harvesting and storage, will ensure an increase in the annual revenue of farmers and grain exporters by about 10.4 billion and 16.6 billion US dollars, respectively. The full implementation of the Strategy and its capabilities will increase the profitability of all participants in the grain complex, fulfill the Strategy’s target indicators, and mitigate the negative impact of global climate change.
