Abstract

The problems associated with development of green economy instruments at food industry enterprises are considered. On the basis of the analysis, it is concluded that insufficient attention is paid to environmental problems in the food industry in Russia. Introduction of modern equipment is carried out on the basis of implementation of innovative projects, where “green” investment is negligible. An analysis of the structure of investment in “green technologies” showed that these are mainly private investment resources, and government funding is minimal. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop instruments for financing innovative projects to introduce mechanisms of a “green” economy in the food industry. In order to stimulate the implementation of innovative environmental projects at food industry enterprises, such modern tools as public-private partnerships, insurance, concessional lending, and etc. are offered. As a result of the offered approaches to implementation of innovative projects based on a “green economy” at food industry enterprises, the environmental efficiency of the food industry will increase, as well as significantly reduce costs due to introduction of resource-saving technologies.

Highlights

The processing and food industry of the Russian Federation is the leading sector of the agro-industrial complex, and the share of the domestic market for products of the processing industry accounts for at least 95 % of the food consumed in our country
The food industry in Russia includes about 30 industries and more than 60 types of various industries, including 22 thousand enterprises located in the territory of the Russian Federation, with the number of employees exceeding 2 million people
A number of problems associated with the low level of material and technical support of many enterprises processing agricultural raw materials, poorly developed infrastructure for storage and transportation of raw materials and finished products does not allow for a comprehensive processing of raw materials, which leads to large losses of resources, reduces the safety characteristics and quality of products, and increases the negative environmental impact

Summary

Introduction

The processing and food industry of the Russian Federation is the leading sector of the agro-industrial complex, and the share of the domestic market for products of the processing industry accounts for at least 95 % of the food consumed in our country.Currently, the food industry in Russia includes about 30 industries and more than 60 types of various industries, including 22 thousand enterprises located in the territory of the Russian Federation, with the number of employees exceeding 2 million people. It shall be noted that the environmental problems of the processing industry of the agroindustrial complex, in most cases, are associated with the generated waste, which pollute the land and water bodies, and lead to a deterioration in the sanitary and epidemiological situation. Each year, these enterprises generate about 40 million tons of byproducts and waste, while a small part of them is involved in the secondary circulation [2]. In developed countries this indicator is at the level of 1.7 %, in developing countries – 2.5 %, in the BRICS countries – 1.9 % [8]
