HGZGKO. MODERN TRENDS IN IMPROVING THE ENGINEERING SERVICE OF AGROINDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Abstract

Agricultural production in Russia is trying to solve one of the most important national problem: ensuring food security and import substitution. The conducted research and scientific developments of FNAC VIM justified the need to modernize the engineering service of the agro-industrial complex. (Research purpose) The research purpose is analyzing the state of the repair and maintenance base of the agro-industrial complex, giving recommendations on the strategy of modernization of this base, taking into account the real capabilities of repair and specialized enterprises at the regional and federal levels. (Materials and methods) The engineering and technical service refers to the segment of the agro-industrial complex. The production facilities of the engineering and technical service should be located directly at agricultural enterprises, serve as an integral part of their infrastructure and form a repair and maintenance base. (Results and discussion) The conducted studies have shown that more than 35 percent of previously certified enterprises have been eliminated over the specified period of time because of unprofitability. In recent years, the number of repair enterprises have a pronounced tendency to reduce. The situation in the agro-industrial complex with maintenance and repair in recent years continues to deteriorate sharply. (Conclusions) The current state of the engineering service requires taking drastic measures to improve it, taking into account modern progressive technologies. The paper presented separate recommendations for improving the repair and maintenance base of the agro-industrial complex, concerning almost all maintenance and repair cycles, including disposal. The main task is to optimize the maintenance and repair of agricultural machinery in real conditions in which all participants of agricultural production work.
