IMPROVING APPROACHES TO ASSESSING THE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF SUBSIDIZING LARGE AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES

The relevance of this scientific study is determined by the important role of state support in the effective functioning of large agricultural enterprises of the Russian Federation and the Udmurt Republic. The purpose of this article: to study theoretical approaches and substantiate practical directions for increasing the efficiency of state support for large agribusiness. In the work on the article, the following research methods were used: analysis and synthesis, generalization, comparison, classification. The authors give the concept of subsidy as the main form of financial support for agricultural producers. Based on the analysis of regulatory and legal documents, the existing types of subsidies for animal husbandry, the procedure for their determination and the conditions for their provision were considered. Based on the analysis, the purpose, object and subject of this scientific research are justified. The article analyzed the existing scientific methods for quantifying the effectiveness of state support, which can be conditionally divided into four groups. Given the limited scope of the article, analytical research and practical calculations are limited to one enterprise - Voskhod Joint-Stock Company, which, in our opinion, did not affect the integrity of the article. The production and financial indicators of the company for 2021-2023 are given. The analysis of subsidies received by the enterprise by areas and by budget sources is given. The calculation of subsidy efficiency indicators according to the methods of E. Mukhina and E. Fedotova is presented in detail. It was concluded that it is necessary to further develop the approaches on which the assessment of the effectiveness of state support in general should be based, as well as auxiliary indicators for assessing the effectiveness of state support for agricultural organizations at the regional level are given.

Geoportals as an Information Tool for Government Support of Agricultural Producers

In this scientific article, the authors consider the role and importance of geoportals as sources of information for the development of the agro-industrial complex in the region. The object of the study is Novgorod region, which has an industrial and agricultural specialization and significant natural resource potential for the development of the agricultural sector. The authors have identified external and internal factors that have a negative impact on the development of agriculture in the region. The solution to the mentioned above problems is, according to the authors, visualization of the results of complex works on the establishment of boundaries of agricultural lands on a regional geoportal with subsequent use of it as a justifying tool for making managerial decisions to support agricultural producers. The conducted research has shown that the Novgorod region has the opportunities to restore abandoned agricultural lands, and the use of geoportal information by regional authorities can allow effective interaction with the federal budget for comprehensive support of agricultural producers in a simplified manner.

Vegetable and potato growing in Kazakhstan as the main direction of agricultural production

The goal is to assess the development of potato and vegetable growing and their impact on the state of domestic and regional agricultural markets, to formulate proposals for stabilizing and improving the situation in the near future. Methods – comparative analysis, economicstatistical and structural approaches. Results – the authors note that in order to achieve the required level of food security, it is necessary to increase the volume of cultivation of these products in large agricultural enterprises, which will contribute to the growth of commercial production of vegetables and potatoes of proper quality. The state and potential of vegetable and potato farms, their regional characteristics, formation of vegetable market, and state support for vegetable growing industry at the national level are considered. The issues of regulating cultivation and sale of vegetable products are analyzed, the level of its consumption in the constituent entities of the Republic of Kazakhstan and factors determining it are shown. Monitoring of the areas of potatoes grown in open ground, tools and mechanisms for stimulating their expansion, the share of gross potato harvest for all categories of farms in the republic, the dynamics of prices of agricultural producers and consumer prices was carried out. Taking into account the scientific views and opinions of researchers, analysis of the category “sustainable development” is presented. Conclusions – it is necessary to carry out reclamation measures related to the involvement of agricultural land in circulation for vegetable and potato growing, increase in state support for agricultural producers, as well as funds to reimburse part of costs incurred for production of greenhouse vegetables, and technical re-equipment of production facilities. The implementation of investment projects is important, which will make it possible in the medium term to achieve complete food independence for vegetables and potatoes and ensure an acceptable price environment for their producers and consumers.

БӘСЕКЕЛЕСТІК САЯСАТ ЖӘНЕ ЭКСПОРТҚА БАҒДАРЛАНҒАН ӨНІМДІ ДАМЫТУ

Abstract. Kazakhstan chose a competitive model of the economy and set a course for industrial and innovative development of the country, which will allow building an economically strong and prosperous state, because the country's competitiveness implies the competitiveness of the nation, state institutions and business. This is what the country's competitive policy is aimed at [1]. The Republic of Kazakhstan has great potential for the development of the manufacturing industry and the agro-industrial complex, a significant increase in the export of grain and its processing products, the production of a wide range of meat and dairy products, vegetable oil, vegetables, fruits and other products of animal husbandry and crop production, that is, support and development of export-oriented agricultural production. The agricultural industry is greatly influenced by economic factors. The state regulation of this area is based on the methods of foreign trade in raw materials and food products. The article considers measures of the state system of support for agricultural producers, increasing the efficiency of the system of state management of the agro-industrial complex, the modern state of agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SMALL FARMS PRODUCING IN AN ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM IN POLAND

The authors assessed the functioning of small farms conducting production using an ecological system. The analyzes were performed for small organic farms with supported organic production under the CAP. They were compared to small conventional farms from the same communes. The source of the materials was data from the IJHARS reports for 2004-2022, ARiMR for 2022 and Polish FADN for 2022. It was found that in Poland, in the structure of organic farms, farms with an area of up to 10 ha of agricultural land are of great importance. Small farms with supported organic production under the CAP exist in 1,345 communes, and in about 32% of these communes there is only one such farm. It was found that there is a large variation in the occurrence of small farms benefiting from support for organic production under the CAP among municipalities. However, the distribution of small farms benefiting from subsidies in a given commune was not related to the number of these farms. It has been shown that in the current conditions of development of organic production, there must be sufficiently high financial support for agricultural producers to be interested in running production using an ecological system.

Законодательные основы регулирования развития органического сельского хозяйства России

Abstract. The purpose of the study is to assess the current regulatory framework for the regulation of organic agriculture for the analysis of existing shortcomings and the degree of its compliance with the real needs of domestic agribusiness. The main method of research was the analysis of the legislative framework at the federal and regional levels, as well as domestic and foreign experience in organizing budget support for organic agricultural producers on its basis. Results. The current regulatory legal acts regulating the production of organic food in Russia and the world are considered. The assessment of measures to support organic agriculture in the context of individual regions of the Russian Federation was carried out. The characteristics of the development features and necessary adjustments of the current regulatory framework of organic production are given. Taking into account foreign practices, proposals are formulated to reduce the costs of organic producers for certification by developing systems of guarantee participation and group certification. In order to more actively develop the organic food market in Russia and, in particular, in the North-West, measures are proposed to make adjustments to the legal regulation of organic farming and animal husbandry, the transition to mass certification of small businesses. This will strengthen the competitive position of domestic organic agricultural producers primarily in the domestic market and strengthen the overall position of the industry even in conditions of increased external restrictions for export supplies. The scientific novelty of the study is to assess the existing institutional opportunities and limitations in the production of organic products at the present stage of development of the agricultural sector.

It is proposed to separately study the issue of domestic system efficiency and effectiveness functioning and information and consulting support regional services for the Ukraine agrarian sphere.

Анализ резул ьтатов математи ческого моделирования влияния санкций на сел ьское хозяйство Южного федерал ьного округа РФ

The article presents a scenario analysis of the possible consequences of the current sanctions on agriculture in the Southern Federal District of the Russian Federation. The study is based on the spatial model of partial equilibrium in the wholesale markets of agricultural products of the subjects of the Russian Federation of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “All-Russian Institute of Agrarian Problems and Informatics named after A.A. Nikonov” – Branch of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “Federal Research Center of Agrarian Economy and Social Development of Rural Areas – All-Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Economics”. The methodology of using the results of modelling to assess the impact of sanctions on agriculture in the Southern Federal District is proposed. The main threats caused by illegal sanctions are considered: reduction of the machine and tractor fleet and barriers to the export of manufactured products. During the analysis the volumes of production and consumption of the main types of agricultural products in the Southern Federal District were studied. Conclusions are drawn on the impact of the sanctions on the region’s dependence on external supplies of livestock products, namely: the deterioration of the agribusiness situation, violations of the reproductive process will sooner or later lead to a decline in agricultural production, which will cause instability in the situation of food supply to the population. Special attention is paid to the consideration of cash flows of the grain industry of the Southern Federal District. The possible impact of the sanctions on agricultural foreign trade is assessed in the context of scenarios. The special role of the state in overcoming agricultural crises is highlighted: financial support for local agricultural producers and the development of measures to eliminate the negative impact of export barriers. On the basis of the identified trends, the conclusions on the negative impact of the sanctions on the agricultural sector are formulated, namely: their serious negative impact on food security of the population, participants in foreign economic activity and on the financial situation of agriculture has been established.

СТИМУЛИРОВАНИЕ РАЗВИТИЯ ОТРАСЛЕЙ АПК В ЦЕЛЯХ ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЯ ПРОДОВОЛЬСТВЕННОЙ САМООБЕСПЕЧЕННОСТИ И ИМПОРТОЗАМЕЩЕНИЯ НА ПРИМЕРЕ РЕСПУБЛИКИ ТАТАРСТАН

The Russian agro-industrial complex makes a significant contribution to the development of the country's economy. However, Russian agricultural producers are characterized by low competitiveness on the world market, as evidenced by a small volume of imports and a significant volume of exports. In the conditions of an unstable political and economic situation in the Russian Federation, increasing the competitiveness of the domestic agro-industrial complex is a priority task of the Government of the country. Purpose of the study: to develop a new concept for developing a strategy for increasing the competitiveness of Russian agricultural producers in order to strengthen economic stability and efficiency of the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation using the example of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Tatarstan. Object of study: agro-industrial complex of Tatarstan. Research results: the article reveals the development strategy of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Tajikistan, ensuring the competitiveness of agricultural producers, as well as the mechanisms for its practical implementation, the necessary measures of state support for agricultural producers under sanctions. The scientific novelty of the research results lies in the development of a scientific concept for stimulating the development of agricultural sectors in order to ensure food self-sufficiency and import substitution, which includes the justification of its organizational and economic mechanism and the formation of an implementation strategy.

STATE SUPPORT AS A FACTOR OF REGULATION OF THE DOMESTIC MARKET OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY IN UKRAINE

The article analyzes the state of agriculture provision with agricultural machinery and it is clarified that despite the extremely important importance of this branch for the country's economy, today there is a critical situation with the technical provision of the agro-industrial complex. Agricultural enterprises not included in the structure of agricultural holdings provide only 45 to 58 percent of the technological need to machinery, of which almost 90 percent of the units need replacement. The number of worn-out equipment, which each year is written off by enterprises, far exceeds the amount that is procured. The article also analyzes the state of state support of material and technical support of agricultural commodity producers in Ukraine. It has been determined that agrarian policy during the transformation period was characterized mainly by the predominance of tactical rather than strategic goals and programs, and the regulatory activity of the state was not systematic and consistent. Taking into account the above, it was concluded that the problem of increasing the effectiveness of the state influence on the development of the agrarian sector as a whole, and on material and technical support of the crop production sector in particular, is particularly relevant to Ukraine. It is concluded that the state policy in the direction of funding activities aimed at their support is not weighed, formed on the residual principle and can not fully contribute to the accomplishment of the tasks. A number of measures have been proposed for correction of the negative situation, which consist in the necessity of: streamlining of normative acts regulating the financing of programs; increase their funding; strengthening control over the implementation of public funding programs; redistribution of funding directions. An analysis of state support programs for agricultural enterprises makes it possible to conclude that their implementation does not have the desired effect due to: lack of funding by the state; unbalanced fiscal and customs policies, lack of incentives to increase scientific research and accelerate the implementation of their results in agricultural machinery; the general crisis of the country's economy since 2014, connected with the loss of territories, military actions in the east of Ukraine, inflationary processes and the political crisis. Keywords: state support, technology market, efficiency, technical and technological updating, material and technical base, financing

Food security of the Republic of Kazakhstan: criteria and indicators

Global approach to qualitatively new consideration of the problem of food security of the Republic of Kazakhstan and state of agro-industrial complex, which in the current conditions needs to find and implement effective forms and mechanisms of state regulation and support for agricultural producers in order to stabilize domestic food market - all this becomes particularly relevant. The goal is to develop comprehensive methodology for analyzing food problem in the republic based on system of indicators that determine current situation and assessment criteria. Methods – monitoring the correlation between main parameters and threshold values. The availability of food (financial, economic, physical), quality and food safety, and availability of resource potential of agro-industrial production were taken into account and analyzed. Results - it is noted that the degree of financial affordability of food products for employed population and retirement age has decreased; coefficients assessing economic accessibility of food products are within normal limits. At the same time, physical accessibility indicators indicate difficulties with food supply. Conclusions - it was revealed that the level of food supply in Kazakhstan exceeds the average data in the countries of Central Asia. The food program is complex and multi-factorial, including economic, social, cultural and environmental indicators. By maintaining competitiveness of national producer, country gains the opportunity for more sustainable and efficient development of its own agricultural sector. Assessing the parameters of the effective functioning of AIC becomes main content of monitoring process, based on the results of which one can judge the possibilities and prospects of providing the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan with food in the required volume of quantitative and qualitative aspects of their needs.

Importance of natural conditions in Poland in the operation of fully organic farms and those with co-existing conventional production

Abstract This study addresses the issue of assessing the functioning of farms in areas with diverse natural farming conditions by evaluating them using the latest version of the Agricultural Production Area Valorization (APAV) index. Analyses were performed on three types of farms: fully organic farms, organic farms with co-existing conventional production, and conventional-production farms. To achieve the research objective, 259 communes were selected depending on the level of their APAV. Assessments were made of their production potential, production organization, production and economic results in communes with average APAVs below, equal to, and higher than the national average (66.6 points) based on data from farms continuously keeping accounts for the Polish farm accountancy data network (FADN) in between 2019–2021. The Shannon-Wiener index (S-W index) was used to measure the degree of diversity of crop species in the farms’ sown crops, and determine what proportion of those were structure-forming plants. This research demonstrates that in order for interest in organic production to develop under current conditions, there must be sufficient financial support for agricultural producers, especially in areas with more difficult farming conditions.

Legal provision of state financial support to the agricultural sector in the war and postwar periods

The article is devoted to the study of the current state of legal support of the state financial support of the domestic agricultural sector, the formulation of vectors for the improvement of the relevant legislation in the war and post-war periods, the development of proposals for the proper legal support of the outlined sphere.
 The analysis of normative acts regulating relations in the sphere of state support of the agricultural sector in the conditions of martial law showed their significant renewal. In particular, in terms of state credit support, the support of agricultural producers has been recognized as a priority area and a number of preferences have been preserved specifically for these subjects. A similar approach is applied to the financial support of economic entities of the agro-industrial complex through the compensation of leasing payments. The abolition of the zero compensatory rate for loans and zero compensatory remuneration for leasing is positioned by the authors of the article as a negative factor that makes it difficult for agribusiness subjects to realize the right to state financial support. The ineffectiveness of state support to the agricultural sector in the form of budget subsidies has been proven. This is a confirmation of the difficult situation in the economy of Ukraine, the reduction of budget funding in this direction and an argument in favor of finding alternative, less burdensome for the state, ways of support. The effectiveness of the activation of indirect and indirect support to the agricultural sector, through the creation of conditions for the better functioning of agribusiness (preferential taxation, customs benefits), involvement of the functions of international institutions, is substantiated.
 Attention is focused on the need to consolidate at the legislative level already introduced at the level of by-laws this type of state support for the agricultural sector, such as grant support, with further development of this direction in the post­war period.
 The legal principles of state support of agribusiness entities in terms of compensation for damage caused as a result of the war have been analyzed. It has been proven that the expansion of the directions for determining damage and losses caused to Ukraine as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation in the direction of «damage caused to personal peasant farms and/or farms registered as natural persons - entrepreneurs», as well as the approval of the methodology for determining this damage is a progressive step in the direction of realizing the right of these subjects of the agricultural sector to compensation for the damage caused to them by the war and will contribute to post-war reconstruction.

ASSESSMENT OF QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOCIAL AND LABOR SPHERE OF THE VILLAGE OF THE KRASNOYARSK REGION

The article discusses the results of monitoring the social and labour sphere of the village of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in assessing the financial situation of rural households and the problems that concern rural residents to the greatest extent. The study was conducted in the economic crisis and socio-psychological climate. As a result, the rural population assesses its financial situation quite self-critically and believes that, most likely, it will remain unchanged. However, a fascinating fact is that, despite the low-income level of rural residents, most respondents are not going to take part in agricultural consumer cooperatives, cannot or do not want to organise their businesses and are not oriented towards small business. However, residents generally do not plan to move to the city; in the event of a job loss, they will try to get any other job in the countryside. Therefore, it is proposed to evaluate the qualitative characteristics of the social and labour sphere of the village using the “social scale” methodology, consisting of six stages, starting with the selection of the necessary qualitative indicators and their grouping, interviewing rural residents, converting respondents’ answers into numerical values, placing weighting coefficients and interpreting the results. Finally, it is concluded that the main directions of state policy in the development of the social and labour sphere of the village should be: increasing the level and effectiveness of state support for agricultural producers, developing small businesses and cooperation, and increasing employment through non-agricultural activities and self-employment. Along with these measures, it is recommended to provide social support to low-income citizens by expanding the scope of social contracts and implementing a targeted food assistance project.

ОЦЕНКА РАЗВИТИЯ АГРОПРОМЫШЛЕННОГО КОМПЛЕКСА РОССИИ И МЕРЫ СТИМУЛИРОВАНИЯ ЕГО ИНВЕСТИЦИОННОЙ АКТИВНОСТИ

The agro-industrial complex, producing products vital for society, is one of the most important components of the economy of the Russian Federation. The study was conducted to assess the development of the agro-industrial complex and measures to stimulate its investment activity. The largest area of the agro-industrial complex is agriculture, the sustainable development of which is a priority for the state to ensure the country’s food security. Thanks to state support, the agro-industrial complex is demonstrating steady growth. However, problems remain in the industry, the solution of which will strengthen the role and quality of the main directions of the state agrarian policy of the country. Creating a favorable investment climate in the agro-industrial complex is an effective way to develop the industries included in its structure. Measures to stimulate investment activity include: modernization and replacement of production facilities; provision of preferential terms for lending and leasing for participants in the agro-industrial complex; tax incentives; grant support for agricultural producers, agricultural consumer cooperatives, peasants, farms, individual entrepreneurs producing agricultural products; creation of agro-industrial parks. The practice of applying the unified agricultural tax for 2011-2021 in Russia, including in the context of federal districts, showed that, despite the reduction in the number of those applying this taxation regime, there is an increase in the amount of tax calculated. For the development of the agro-industrial complex, it is necessary to introduce non-financial instruments of state support.

ЗЕЛЕНА АРХІТЕКТУРА САП ЄС: ОРІЄНТИРИ ДЛЯ РОЗБУДОВИ ПРИ ПОВОЄННОМУ ВІДНОВЛЕННІ УКРАЇНИ

Розкрито таке нове поняття в українському науковому просторі, як «зелена архітектура аграрного розвитку», що являє собою комплекс агроекологічних і кліматичних політик, інструментів, інституцій, практик управління, регулювання, ведення сільського господарства. Досліджено новації зеленої архітектури реформованої САП ЄС у програмному періоді 2023–2027 рр., а саме: посилену обумовленість фінансової підтримки фермерів за дотримання ними базових екологічних і кліматичних стандартів господарювання, добровільну участь у екосхемах, децентралізацію стратегічного планування з розробленням країнами-членами національних планів САП згідно з цільовими настановами ЄС і з урахуванням специфіки ведення сільського господарства в країнах. Узагальнено інструменти реалізації новацій – адміністрування і стимулювання, зокрема фінансову підтримку базового доходу фермерів для сталого розвитку «у пакеті» з дотриманням екологічних вимог, винагородження за виконання екологічних і кліматичних дій. Обґрунтовано пропозиції щодо розбудови зеленої архітектури національної аграрної політики і практики при повоєнному відновленні з урахуванням новацій САП ЄС, тобто вдосконалення національної аграрної політики з позиції забезпечення сталого розвитку, збалансування продуктивізму і зеленого курсу, впровадження екообумовленості надання бюджетних коштів на підтримку сільгоспвиробників за будь-якими державними програмами, започаткування розробки національного стратегічного плану відповідно до керівних засад САП ЄС, дотримання зеленого курсу аграрного розвитку, що дозволить залучати для відновлення фінансову підтримку світової спільноти. Оскільки еколого-кліматичні пріоритети є основним елементом сучасної багатофункціональної парадигми розвитку сільського господарства, що легітимізує фінансову підтримку сільгоспвиробників, то в Україні потрібно якнайшвидше запровадити засади ЄЗК і САП ЄС у аграрну політику і практику, а також покращити рівень компетентності й готовності вітчизняних аграріїв до реалізації еколого-кліматичних заходів.

Management paradigm improving the productivity of farms based on the principles of agricultural consulting

The agro-industrial complex, and farms in particular, is one of the riskiest types of business activity. To obtain high yields and increase production efficiency, reasonable and balanced decisions based on highly specialised knowledge and practical experience are necessary. The purpose of the study is to identify the role of consulting in the system of agricultural management paradigm. The study uses general scientific methods of cognition: logical and structural analysis, comparison, theoretical modelling, abstraction, induction and deduction, and statistical methods, concretisation, generalisation, formalisation, and tabular and graphical interpretation of theoretical information. In the course of the study, the current state of agricultural production in the sector of farms, infrastructure, and information support for agricultural producers are examined. It is determined that effective consulting in the field of agro-industrial complex is a basic prerequisite for intensifying the productivity and competitiveness of farm production. Priority vectors of agricultural consulting activities are highlighted. The specific features of the process of managing the productivity of farms with the involvement of agricultural consulting opportunities are examined, and further prospects for its development are outlined. The main measures to optimise the situation in the industry under study are proposed. The practical importance of the results is considered in the possibility of their application in developing appropriate programmes aimed at improving farm management efficiency, increasing production productivity, and product competitiveness, and forming a stable and effective agricultural consulting system in Ukraine
