Abstract

This paper contains three scenarios for expansion the production of agricultural raw materials and food in the Russian Federation. Special attention is paid to the Non-Chernozem region, where the country has the largest amount of land not used for agricultural production anymore. In order to determine the influence of state support on the efficiency of resource use, including land, a comprehensive indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of state subsidies is introducing in the regions of Russia. The subjects of the Russian Federation were calculated and classified by the efficiency of the use of subsidies. The hypothesis of the reasons for different levels of use of subsidies in the regions is presented in the article. The identification of these reasons makes it possible to substantiate wise management decisions, and adjust agricultural policy and target programs for the development of agricultural production and rural areas.
