Abstract

During the 20th and first quarter of the 21st century, there have been not only significant quantitative, but also structural changes in grain production close to some central applications of grain: food consumption, fodder consumption, industrial consumption, provision of seed production, foreign trade. Strategic planning of grain production in the country depends on many factors, including changes in grain production and processing technologies, widespread and accelerated integration of selective breeding results, multifactorial modeling of animal diets. The volume of consumption and the structure of cereals in the total volume of production is impacted by such processes as population growth, urbanization and changes in dietary preferences of modern people. One of the most important tasks in the development of the farming industry is to assess some possible prospects for the development of grain growing, with due account for new priorities to come up in the use of the entire biodiversity of cereals. Benchmark analysis of the ratio between the volumes of production, consumption and export-import of grain, rationale for the optimal characteristics of the grain-growing sector of the national economy, as an essential element of strategic potential, represent one of the fundamental interdisciplinary challenges facing modern science.

Highlights

Today, both in the developed countries of the world and in Russia, there are no uniform criteria for the rate of food supply for the population, subject to natural and climatic conditions and sophistication of agricultural production, as well as national living standards of the population
According to FAO experts, the two main indicators of the state of international food supply are the volume of carry-over stocks of grain in the world remaining in storage until the harvest, as well as the level of grain production per capita [1]
Modernization of the grain economy in Russia, as well as state regulation of the production and market of grain and food should be guaranteed to meet the need for domestic products to provide the population with food

Summary

Introduction

Both in the developed countries of the world and in Russia, there are no uniform criteria for the rate of food supply for the population, subject to natural and climatic conditions and sophistication of agricultural production, as well as national living standards of the population. Modernization of the grain economy in Russia, as well as state regulation of the production and market of grain and food should be guaranteed to meet the need for domestic products to provide the population with food. The “onset” of digital tools, including in the economy, dictates new economic conditions for agricultural producers concerning applications of modern information and management technologies, automation of business processes.
