Abstract
Calculations of estimates of the technical efficiency of production activities of agricultural organizations of the Krasnodar Krai that produce live weight gains of cattle in 2018 were performed. For this purpose, a nonparametric method is used, which compares the actual and potentially possible maximum production volumes calculated using the linear programming method for each specific commodity producer in a representative sample of enterprises and forming a broken boundary production function. The size of the potential for growth in the production of meat cattle products based on the existing livestock in the region was determined and priority areas for its implementation was identified. It was established that the main factors hindering the development of meat cattle breeding in the Krasnodar Krai are low potential of biological productivity of the livestock breeds used, use of unbalanced feed rations that lead to a large overspend of certain types of feed, and low labor productivity.
Highlights
In recent years, the domestic economy has been operating in a difficult micro- and macroeconomic environment under the influence of tough sanctions imposed by the Western nations, reinforced by instability in the global hydrocarbon markets and the consequences of a global pandemic that hinders the development of the world economy as a whole
In 1990-2018, in agricultural organizations of the Krasnodar Krai, the number of cattle decreased by more than 3 times, and the volume of meat production of this type of animal decreased by half
Thousand heads Produced, thousand tons: increase in live weight of cattle milk Average daily weight gain of cattle for fattening and growing, g Milk produced per cow per year, kg Average profitability of sales, %: live weight of cattle meat milk
Summary
The domestic economy has been operating in a difficult micro- and macroeconomic environment under the influence of tough sanctions imposed by the Western nations, reinforced by instability in the global hydrocarbon markets and the consequences of a global pandemic that hinders the development of the world economy as a whole. In the structure of the cattle population in Russia, the share of animals of specialized meat breeds does not exceed 10 %, which mainly hinders the development of the sub-sector. All this leads to a constant decrease in beef consumption in Russia with its displacement from the diets of the population by cheaper types of meat. The purpose of this article is to determine the level of technical efficiency of cattle meat production in the Krasnodar Krai and justify the priority areas for its improvement
