Personal subsidiary plots of Damsinsky rural district of Akmola region: analysis of agricultural production

Abstract

The goal is to show the importance and consider the current state of agricultural production in personal subsidiary plots of the Damsinsky rural district of Akmola region. Methods – system-structural and system-functional approaches to the study of agricultural production in the households of the district, which requires the use of various methods of scientific analysis: comparative, statistical, mathematical and economic, etc. Results – the authors studied and assessed the structure of the natural and physical capital of this rural region. Also, for a complete assessment of the current state of the main performance indicators, an analysis of the income structure of these farms for the current year is given. The authors determined the degree of uniformity (not uniformity) of the distribution of agricultural land and livestock. Conclusions – the study showed that the majority of private subsidiary farms in the Damsinsky rural district of the Akmola region are either engaged in agricultural production to a small extent or produce agricultural products only for their own consumption and belong to the category of "nonmarketable" household plots. The low level of development of their marketability is determined by such factors as high cost of fodder, lack of independent fodder harvesting, lack of pasture lands around settlements and the high level of their degradation today.
