Market prospects for soybean seed production of the East Siberian ecotype domestic varieties

Abstract

The article presents the research results on the domestic and foreign market of oilseeds. In the current conditions, there is a growing demand for soybean products, which determines the necessity for high-quality harvests of this legume plant, both in the segment of the industrial and consumer market of soybean products. Both domestic and large foreign companies producing oilseeds are represented in the Russian market. According to the Food Security Doctrine, the share of domestic seeds should be at least 75% and in 2019 this figure was 62.7%. The article substantiates the production of soybean seeds of the East Siberian ecotype domestic varieties which has potential sales markets. R & D conducted by the Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University together with the advanced enterprises of the agro - industrial complex of the region have the goal of forming and developing the system of selection and seed production of the East Siberian ecotype soybeans by developing and implementing molecular genetics technologies in the selection process and industrial seed production of the crop. Selection achievements are interdependent and the characteristics of marketable agricultural products are closely related to the growing technology (with costs and productivity), which will ensure the demand for selection achievements, the university’s leading position in the dissemination of innovations in the agricultural sphere of Siberia, and the advanced enterprises of the agro-industrial complex of the region to organize large-scale production of soybeans and increase the production activities profitability.
