Monitoring of public support for agricultural producers in Germany and Kazakhstan

Abstract

The goal is to study the experience of developed countries and the possibility of adapting the mechanism of public support for domestic agricultural sector. Methods – analytical, economicstatistical, comparative analysis. In the work, the authors show the mechanism of government regulation in Germany, present the results of the implementation of State programs. Results – studies confirm that in European countries the management of agro-industrial complex is carried out according to a clearly defined model for agricultural production development. The EU identifies two main areas of financing agricultural producer, which contribute to the increased competitiveness of agriculture in the world market, protecting the environment in rural areas, improving the quality of life in rural areas and stimulating employment. The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development annually allocates about 1.35 billion Euros to German agricultural entities. Conclusions – in Kazakhstan, not all programs aimed at increasing the level of competitiveness of the entities of agro-industrial complex are sufficiently effective. One of the reasons is their level of planning indicators and activities that does not meet the current tasks. Thus, the decisive moment for the effective use of funds which are allocated to agriculture is not the amount of subsidies, but more accurate, targeted planning of support measures and the allocation of funds aimed at the development of rural areas and agricultural infrastructure activities. This is especially needed in the conditions of the EAEU, when a number of obligations on the effective development of agriculture and achievement of its competitiveness have been adopted.
