ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКАЯ СПЕЦИАЛИЗАЦИЯ РЕГИОНА: ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ РАЗВИТИЯ

Abstract

The article discusses the possibilities of developing the economic specialization of the energy profile region – the Republic of Bashkortostan. Currently, considerable attention is paid to the problems of spatial development of regions. In turn, this development is one of the most important components of the socio-economic well-being of the region. The concepts of spatial development include the adaptation of existing priorities of socio-economic development to available resources and new trends that contribute to the deformation of the existing system of division of labor. This feature includes the specialization of regional socioeconomic complexes. Historically, specialization is undergoing significant changes in the course of economic development. In order to maintain the sustainable competitiveness of the region's economy, it is necessary to constantly search for new development opportunities that provide unique advantages of the region, preferably for the long term. The purpose of the article is to search for opportunities and prospects for the development of economic specialization contributing to the preservation of the competitiveness of the region. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved: an analysis of the development of promising industrial specialization based on the rational use of economic resources, which includes an assessment of the current socio-economic situation and the degree of achievement of the goals of the region; an assessment of the prospects for the development of regional industrial specialization of the energy profile; justified scenarios for further development of promising industrial specialization. The optimal scenario for the economic development of the region based on the use of renewable energy sources, namely the production of biological raw materials, and biofuels from it, has been chosen. Oil-containing and sugar-containing crops are offered as raw materials for the production of biofuels. The article provides an analysis of the acreage of the Volga Federal District of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Bashkortostan, as well as the acreage of oil-bearing rapeseed culture. The practical significance of this work lies in the development of a direction that has not yet been considered by the administrative and managerial apparatus of the region, but with an appropriate level of economic justification for investments, it will ensure the socio-economic growth of the territory of the region in a strategic perspective
