Technical park of grain subcomplex of Kazakhstan: state and prospects

Abstract

Relevance of the topic – the state of technical park of grain industry determines the available opportunities for the introduction of innovative technologies that can multiply the yield. Thus, it is necessary to consider the conditions for the functioning of technopark in agricultural sector of the country's economy, to identify main problems and methods for their effective solution. The goal is to study the issues of technical support of existing agricultural machinery, distribution structure by manufacturers, determine the indicators of the level of its renewal in dynamics, indicate the factors hindering technical development of grain subcomplex, and justify measures to improve the current situation. Methods – quantitative-qualitative and factor analysis, economic-statistical, abstract-logical conclusions. Results – the studies conducted in the article confirm that Kazakhstan is the owner of reserves for further increasing the volume of agricultural products and food, and has significant areas of agricultural land. A list of manufacturers of the main types of agricultural machines that localize production on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan is presented, with the specification of the date of signing the agreement on industrial assembly. The volumes of the total capacities and workload of agricultural enterprises for production of combines and tractors of all brands have been established. Conclusions – the sustainable development of grain economy implies the need to improve the measures of public financial support aimed at updating agricultural machinery, including the leasing program. The issues of reproduction and use of the machine and tractor park of agro-industrial complex should be resolved taking into account their close relationship with the field of agricultural engineering, the system of engineering and technical services, the possibilities for mastering advanced technologies and staffing. It is necessary to take timely preventive measures.
