Specifics of the process of reproduction of land resources in agriculture

Abstract

The article deals with the features of land resources reproduction in agriculture, reveals the specifics of the stages of the reproduction process: production, distribution, exchange and consumption. The author's position is based on a dual approach to the analysis of the study of the process of reproduction of land resources, which are considered as agricultural land. On the one hand, the reproduction process is studied as the renewal of productive qualities of agricultural land, and on the other hand, as the development and reproduction of land relations in conditions of spatial and institutional limitations that determine the consumer properties of land resources. Unlike other factors of production in the process of reproduction of land resources, the consumption stage is combined with the production stage, which contributes to the beginning of the formation of consumer properties at the production stage and the completion of this process at the consumption stage. According to the monitoring of the functioning of the agricultural land market in the Volgograd region in 2012-2019, according to experts, there are constant jumps in the price of agricultural products with a stable amount of rent, which determines the significance of the influence of the price mechanism on the process of reproduction of land resources. Existing institutional restrictions on the exchange of full and limited ownership rights to agricultural land constrain the process of reproduction of consumer properties of land resources at the stage of exchange and consumption, which leads to an increase in reproduction costs and a decrease in the motivation for effective use of agricultural land.
