Abstract
Agricultural industry is the biggest intersectoral complex. The first priority of any country is to secure supply of abundant and safe food for the population. In 2017, Russian minister of agriculture A.N. Tkachev noted that Russia is able to feed itself and will be able to do so in the future as well. The task put forward by Vladimir Putin is to guarantee that at least 90% of food on market shelves is made domestically. This article examines specifics of land use in Tomsk oblast and fulfillment of governmental tasks.
Highlights
The main goals of Russian agrarian policy are: creation of food security, robust development of fertile territories, improvements in rural quality of life, increases in competitiveness of the agrarian sector, effective import substitution, increase in productivity of agricultural lands and other resources and creation of strong export-oriented agriculture capable of taking leading positions on the worldwide agricultural market [1,2,3,4]
It will not be able to quickly react to changes, even domestic, because of: High dependence of several subsectors of agriculture on imported seeds, technologies, machinery, equipment etc. and inability to produce them domestically within short timeframes. This increases the amount of investments needed for import substitution
It must be noted that, compared to 2018, total agricultural area in Tomsk oblast has shrunk from 2017,2 to 1979,6 thousand hectares, explained by their reclassification as forest reserves, industrial lands etc
Summary
The main goals of Russian agrarian policy are: creation of food security, robust development of fertile territories, improvements in rural quality of life, increases in competitiveness of the agrarian sector, effective import substitution, increase in productivity of agricultural lands and other resources and creation of strong export-oriented agriculture capable of taking leading positions on the worldwide agricultural market [1,2,3,4]. These goals are expected to be achieved through international and regional integration as well as qualitative and scientific approach to global agricultural problems [5]
