Abstract

The most important prerequisite for achieving the main goal of the country’s agro-industrial complex ensuring its food security and efficient agricultural production is the optimal location of its individual industries and production facilities by territorial units. The urgency of increasing the efficiency of agricultural production in general, and grain production in particular, has increased with Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organization. The purpose of the study is to develop scientifically grounded proposals and practical recommendations to improve the efficiency of grain production location in the Republic of Tatarstan. The study’s objectives: to reveal the economic essence of agricultural production location taking into account the main principles and influence of the main factors; to assess the current state of grain crop production location in the region; to develop the directions of grain production development at macroand micro-economic levels. Abstractological, statistical-economic, calculation and balance methods of research were used in the work. In the article the criteria and indexes of level and efficiency of production placement are offered; the condition and tendencies of development of grain crops placement are analyzed; methodical approaches and project decisions on perfection of grain crops placement on the regional level are grounded. The practical significance of the obtained research results lies in the fact that the developed measures contribute to the substantiation of optimal parameters of grain crop production location in the Republic of Tatarstan in the context of its natural and economic zones and municipal administrative districts.

Highlights

Theoretical basis for agricultural production location is the social division of labour
Until 2015, the Republic of Tatarstan had a clear trend of increasing production costs per 1 hectare of grain crops, which was due, on the one hand, to an increase in the level of costs per 1 hectare of crops and, on the other hand, a decrease or rather low level of grain crop yields; in the two years, a decrease in production costs was due to an increase in yields - by 10.7 tonnes from 1 hectare or more than half, and a significant increase by the reporting year - a decrease in yields by 7.2 tonnes from 1 hectare
It should be noted that during the analyzed period the level of prime cost of grain crops in the Republic of Tatarstan increased by 261 rubles or more than 2/3, while in Nizhnekamsk suburban natural and economic zone - by 357 rubles or almost twice, in Zakamskaya - by 173 rubles or 41.8%, in Predkamskaya - by 179 rubles or 43.7%

Summary

Introduction

Theoretical basis for agricultural production location is the social division of labour. The development of the social division of labor is the basis for the transition of agriculture to the industrial path with its characteristic rhythmic and flow, intersectoral cooperation, integration of enterprises, the formation of economic relations and interaction of sub-projects of market relations. Agricultural location is a spatial distribution of production of various types of products and industries within the country, its economic areas, zones, administrative areas and specific enterprises. If before the 1990s in Russia the placement of the main types of agricultural products was carried out by bringing the planned government procurement, agricultural producers do not have a guaranteed market for their products. A scientifically grounded location of production suggests, first of all, the intensification of entrepreneurial activity and freedom of action [1, 2]
