Abstract
The article presents results of the current state studies of the wine industry in the Sevastopol region. It has been established that the problem of the viticulture development and winemaking in this region is not so much in the wine production technological aspects, but in the quality of raw materials for the production of wine products and the yield of grape plantations, as well as in ensuring that the price and wine products quality are consistent with the population purchasing power. Based on the results of the study, the feasibility of using innovative quality control technologies in the Sevastopol agro-industrial cluster was substantiated, ways of integrating the “precision viticulture” project into the organizational and economic structure of the Sevastopol agro-industrial cluster were developed. The structure of investment costs for the project of the meteorological platform “Demetra” implementation has been determined and the organizational structure of the “Digital Quality Center” has been developed. The possibility of using various financing options for a joint project of cluster participants to create a quality management system for the wine industry in the Sevastopol was considered.
Highlights
The issues of the domestic wine products quality with an emphasis on the cultivation of raw materials have gained high relevance today, especially for winemakers of the Crimean peninsula and the city of Sevastopol. This conclusion is confirmed by a comparison of the economic efficiency of the industry in terms of yield on the Crimean peninsula with the corresponding indicators of European countries, whose vineyards are in similar soil and climatic conditions, when growing similar grape varieties the average yield in European countries is 13 tn/ha
Implementation of a precision viticulture project using the Demetra meteorological platform will allow: - to improve the quality of wine products produced in the Sevastopol agro-industrial cluster; - to reduce the use of pesticides for processing plants; - to optimize the number of staff as a result of reducing manual labor associated with the maintenance of vineyards; - to stimulate the development of small and medium-sized wineries producing premium-class products, integrating them into the tourism sector of the city in order to popularize the quality of wine from local producers and expand the sales market
Three quarters of Sevastopol vineyards are planted in non-irrigated areas; Soil and climatic conditions, limited water resources and an almost complete ban on the use of pesticides on grape plantations located near settlements and natural reservoirs make it possible to characterize the Sevastopol viticulture as carried out in conditions of risky agriculture already due to the need for higher costs for reducing the adverse consequences of the manifestation of these factors
Summary
The issues of the domestic wine products quality with an emphasis on the cultivation of raw materials have gained high relevance today, especially for winemakers of the Crimean peninsula and the city of Sevastopol. This conclusion is confirmed by a comparison of the economic efficiency of the industry in terms of yield on the Crimean peninsula (including the Sevastopol region, where the grape yield reaches 4 tn/ha) with the corresponding indicators of European countries, whose vineyards are in similar soil and climatic conditions, when growing similar grape varieties the average yield in European countries is 13 tn/ha. Strizhov, considering the issues of determining the type (category) of wine products and confirming its authenticity based on sample analysis and subsequent mathematical information processing [1, 2]
