Assessment of Developing of the Grain Market Stability

Abstract

The grain market has strategic importance for economy of the Russian Federation. This is reflected in the provision of national needs and income from the sale of grain. Russia is situated on a large territory and has regions with sufficient bioclimatic potential for grain production and regions, which are located in harsh natural and climatic conditions, which are not suitable for commercial agriculture. The main task of the national grain market is uninterrupted provision of needs. The possibility of filling of the interregional market with grain can be provided only on condition of high stability of development of all regional grain markets of the Russian Federation subjects, located in the southern and central parts of the country. The object of the research was the grain economy of the Tambov region. The research has shown that almost all economic laws of agricultural development are violated due to the lack of availability of agricultural producers resources. The intraregional demand for grain, which is increased by 47.7% for 2013-2017 years, is fully satisfied. The current situation of grain prices does not allow receiving sufficient income. The level of the profitability of grain production in 2017 amounted to only 17.4%, exceeding the official inflation rate by only 13.4%. The main problem of agricultural producers of grain is the lack of resources for the production process. The unfavorable economic conditions determines the system character of the problems of the grain market. Under these circumstances, the sustainability of the grain market can be assessed only as conditionally sufficient.
