Current state and prospects for the development of agriculture in the Vinnytsia region

The agriculture of the Vinnytsia region plays an important role in the economy of this region, ensuring food security, employment stability and socio-economic development. The study aims to analyse the current state and peculiarities of the functioning of agriculture in the Vinnytsia region, as well as to identify prospects for the development of this sector of the region's economy. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: abstract logikal, system-structural, method of analysis and comparison, economic-statistical, tabular, graphical and other methods. The study analyses current trends in agricultural development, covering information up to 2022, as there are currently no official statistics for 2023. It is established that 2022 was a difficult year for the country, as evidenced by the decline in plant production in the region from 2018 to 2022, but at the same time, there was a certain increase in the production of animal products. The study examines the structure of production and efficiency indicators of agriculture, which indicate both positive and negative trends. In particular, the positive side of the dynamics is the increase in the number of agricultural enterprises and the stability of the region's share in the national agricultural production. However, negative trends include a decline in production, a decrease in the profitability of operating activities and other indicators that reflect the impact of economic and technological factors on the industry. The study noted that proper use of fertilisers is essential for increasing land productivity. Several challenges that limit the productivity and sustainability of agricultural development in the region were identified. Climatic conditions, such as temperature and precipitation, environmental, economic and social problems that require an integrated approach to address them. The article substantiates the prospects for agricultural development, namely: optimisation of land use, introduction of modern technologies, support for agriculture and stimulation of ecological agricultural production. Examples of the introduction of modern technologies and innovations in the region's agriculture, including the cultivation of products without the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, and the use of precision farming and biogas projects, are considered. Initiatives and programmes to support small and medium-sized enterprises and organic agriculture are also highlighted. These aspects can be used to create development strategies and make informed decisions.

Scientific and production substantiation of the effectiveness of the product for dry hoof baths

This paper presents the results of a study of the adsorption activity of a developed complex product for the treatment and prevention of diseases of the distal extremities of cattle and its effectiveness with individual and group use using the method of dry hoof baths in a number of agricultural enterprises with tethered and freestall housing of cattle. It was shown that the developed product has a porous structure and a wide range of adsorption. The main cause of infection causing mass lesions of the fingers and hooves of cattle in the surveyed agricultural enterprises was an increase in the threshold number of the diversity of saprophytic and opportunistic microorganisms transmitted directly from one animal to another. Associations of bacteria and micromycetes determined the cause of the occurrence and spread of infectious diseases of the fingers and hooves. The test results of the developed complex product, which includes inorganic adsorbents and active substances with pronounced fungicidal, bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties indicate the possibility of its introduction into the system of control measures with diseases of fingers and hooves in disadvantaged agricultural enterprises with both tethered and free-stall livestock keeping.

Grant support for the development of peasant farms: the experience of the Trans-Baikal Territory and key problems

The article considers the current state of small and medium-sized businesses in rural areas of the Trans-Baikal Territory. In the region, the largest share of agricultural products produced falls on the personal subsidiary farms, while there is a destruction of large-scale commodity production, evidenced by a decrease in the number of agricultural enterprises and organizations. Presently, the Government of the Trans-Baikal Territory is interested in transforming personal subsidiary farms into the status of peasant farms, since they are able to ensure more efficient functioning of small forms of farms. Special attention is paid to the state support of small farms in the region. In the course of the study, the problems of the effectiveness of the use of state support for small forms of management were identified. The priority direction of state support is grant subsidization of peasant farms, while the distribution of grants in the context of municipal districts of the region is uneven. In general, the mechanism of grant support for peasant farms is effective only for areas of the region where animal husbandry traditionally constitutes the basis of agriculture. There are also problems associated with excessive requirements for obtaining grants and insufficient consulting assistance from potential grantees.

Cельские жители Юга России о настоящем и будущем села (анализ анкетного опроса 2018 г.)

The modern Russian village has been going through difficult times for more than three decades. This was manifested in the elimination of a huge number of agricultural enterprises, the growth of socio-economic problems, and the irrevocable migration of the rural population. The social and property differentiation of farms and the villagers themselves indicates different economic models of behavior, different adaptive capabilities of the population, and the presence / absence of rural resources. Some rural areas are leaders, profitable; others, on the contrary – are outsiders, weak. The author analyzed the regions of the Republic of Kalmykia, Astrakhan oblast, Volgograd oblast, Stavropol Krai – has traditionally been a barn, providers, suppliers of primary agricultural products – meat, grain, milk, oil, grease, wool, vegetables, and fruits. At present, when all financial flows are concentrated in the capital and several major cities, these southern Russian regions, while continuing to supply all the same products, are in an unequal position with the leaders of the country's economic development. On their territories, of course, there are profitable agricultural enterprises, but most rural settlements do not belong to such, on the contrary, they are depressed and gradually disappear. The article deals with the problems of the rural population of the agrarian regions of the South of Russia. The prolonged crisis and the simultaneous decline in agricultural production led to the degradation of rural areas and a decline in the standard of living of the rural population. The main problems remain the lack of employment, low incomes, and the active outflow of the rural population.

Agribusiness in rural areas: Management Issues

The present article analyzes the trends determining the development of agribusiness in rural areas at the present stage of economic development, and highlights the new and most relevant features of its organization and management. At present, one of the important trends in the development of agribusiness in rural areas is the deepening process of production specialization with a simultaneous increase in the concentration of production and financial, industrial and commercial capital. The production specialization has an active influence on the structure of the sectors interacting in agribusiness in rural areas, which is manifested in the following situation. The size and number of agricultural enterprises is increasing and their number is gradually decreasing, while the total area of agricultural land owned by peasant (private) farms is gradually decreasing. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan, the total number of agricultural enterprises in 2007 was 751, including 607 profitable and 81 unprofitable ones. The overall profitability was 8.9 %. By 2018, the number of farms decreased to 486, out of which 443 were profitable, 43 unprofitable ones. The level of profitability for these farms was 9.6 %. Simultaneously with the decline in the number of agricultural enterprises, the population employed in agriculture was also declining. At the same time, in 2007, 104.9 thousand people were employed in agriculture, which equaled to 11 % of the rural population; by 2018, employment in agricultural activities decreased to 59.4 thousand people, which was 6.6 % of the rural population. With the deepening of specialization, the complexity in the organization and cooperation of activities in the agribusiness system has increased. Individual producers have lost their independence. They largely depend on related participants. In these conditions, the problem of centralized coordination and regulation arises and the role of administrative management is strengthened to ensure the coordination of specialized activities. In the food policy pursued by the state, an increasing number of agrarian business entities are forced to apply directly to the government for resolving certain issues related to land use regulation, environmental protection, etc.

However, funding decreased from UAH 334.1 million. in 2016 to UAH 173.8 million. in 2019. In 2019, UAH 11.5 million was financed for the implementation of business plans at the expense of soft loans of Lviv region. at the expense of the state budget and UAH 6.8 million. at the expense of the local budget. This allowed 34 businesses to purchase 14 units of agricultural machinery, plant 18.7 hectares of orchards and berries, purchase 24 heads of breeding animals, 21 formations to modernize technological processes and create an additional 30 jobs. Investments are an important guarantee of effective economic development of any enterprise, region, country.

Türk Tarımında Yeniden Yapılanma Çalışmaları, Kaynakların Kullanılabilirliği ve Kırsal Kesimdeki Gelişmeler: 2001’den 2016’ya Kadar Kapsamlı Bir Analiz

In this research, since transition to its restructuring, developments in agricultural sector were analysed with outlines. Because of the fact that this transition was in 2001, 2001 year was regarded as year of start. The reasons for the transition have been to increase the farmer registration system, subsidize the agricultural sector, and sustain the importance of the agriculture for economy. In the study, 2001-2016 period were examined, and it was observed that there were important developments in rural in 16 years. These were decrease of the agricultural areas, decline of the field farming, too much migration mobility from rural towards urban, and significantly diminishing of the rural population and the number of agricultural enterprises. Because agricultural lands were not sufficiently utilized, some crops’ production potential dropped off. Even if animal products’ production increased, that was not enough to satisfy the domestic demand and to export. Thus, it was determined that most of agricultural products was imported. By regression analysis, agricultural area size was estimated and it was seen that decrease of the agricultural areas could continue in the following years. In the study, some constructive proposals were also brought forward regarding improvement the agriculture and the rurals.

Agricultural enterprises and economic growth: A regional analysis in the Republic of Serbia

Since agriculture is the highly important economic activity in the Republic of Serbia, it is necessary to create an environment in which competitive agricultural enterprises will develop. However, regions in the Republic of Serbia considerably differ regarding the intensity of agricultural activity. This paper examines the impact of agricultural enterprises on the region’s contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country in the period between 2010 and 2018. Activity of agricultural enterprises was observed using number of agricultural enterprises, number of employees in them, their turnover and gross value added. Random-Effects GLS regression showed that regions with higher agricultural activity contribute to the lesser extent to the GDP of the country. Research results are robust to changing sampling period and lagging independent variables. In this regard, several proposals have been recommended.

Cluster Policy in Agrarian Sphere in Implementation of Concept of Economic Growth

1. Introduction Concept of economic growth, which became popular worldwide, supposes a course for increase of GDP as a main landmark of economic development. It sets general universal path for development, but each economic system is managed by its own unique national peculiarities and landmarks during realization of this concept, picking up the most acceptable vectors of growth and the most accessible growth points. Despite the fact that formation of foundations of the concept of economic growth is paid close attention from many scientists of the world, this concept includes only general provisions, without specific recommendations and instructions for economic systems. This causes necessity for deeper study and specification of the concept of economic growth. This research offers a hypothesis that cluster policy in agrarian sphere is an important and perspective direction of realization of the concept of economic growth. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the necessary and to compile recommendations for improvement of the process of development and conduct of cluster policy in agrarian sphere during realization of the concept of economic growth by the example of modern Russia. 2. Materials and Method Fundamental foundations of development and realization of cluster policy on the whole in agrarian sphere, in view of experience of its practical realization by the example of various countries, are set in works of such authors as (Yang et al., 2015), (Laur, 2015), (Tsathlanova et al., 2015), (Wolman & Hincapie, 2015), etc. Theoretical and methodological aspects of formation of agro-clusters, national and global tendencies of their development, and issues of management and increase of effectiveness of functioning of agro-clusters are studies in works of such scientists as (Beciu et al., 2011), (Maya-Ambia, 2011), (Partiwi et al., 2014), (Zhukenov, 2014), (Firsova et al., 2014), etc. Sense of the concept of economic growth, its evolution over the recent decades, and peculiarities of its implementation under the modern conditions are reflected in various scientific publications of many scientists, among which it is possible to distinguish the works of such researchers as (Leonida et al., 2015), (Popkova et al., 2013), (Popkova & Tinyakova, 2013), (Zeira & Zoabi, 2015), (Lesay, 2011), (Ivanter & Ksenofontov, 2012), etc. As methodological provision, this research offers to use specially developed proprietary methodology of development of agrarian sphere of economy.

After that, integral indicator of development of agrarian sphere is calculated according to the following formula: Iagr=([NA. …

Социально-экономические проблемы стимулирования и мотивации труда сельскохозяйственных территорий

This paper discusses the typical labour stimulation system in Russian agricultural enterprises, based on the tariff-salary system. It is shown that this scheme inevitably leads to equal wage distribution between all workers except piece-workers: this causes demotivation of time-worker, professionals and managers. Internal economic mechanism built on the basis of tariff-salary system does not correspond to market conditions. To solve the urgent problems of labour stimulation in the Russian agricultural companies in terms of market, a labour evaluation and payment system called «Rost» is suggested. It is already implemented in a number of agricultural enterprises of Perm and Chelyabinsk regions, showing high economic and social efficiency.
