Research on the development of agricultural commercialization from the perspective of trade equality based on data mining algorithm

There are difficult to quantify institutional factors in the development model of agricultural commercialization, which forms the measurement deviation of trade efficiency, resulting in large estimation relative error. To solve this problem, this paper studies the development of agricultural commercialization from the perspective of trade equality based on data mining algorithm. Preprocess agricultural multi-source heterogeneous data, remove abnormal data, establish agricultural commercialization database, input agricultural data into the database according to attributes and types, and realize the integration of multi-source data. Set the appropriate minimum support and confidence, mine the export volume of agricultural products from the perspective of high-level and low-level, and determine the structure of trade products. On the basis of using data mining algorithm to grasp the structure of agricultural products, an estimation model of agricultural commercialization development potential is established. The experimental results show that the average relative error of this method is 0.523, which is 0.453 and 0.324 lower than that based on BP neural network and RBF neural network. Therefore, the estimation results of this method are more accurate, can truly reflect the trade development capacity of agricultural products, and has a good application prospect.

This research aims to conduct a comparative analysis of agricultural development in these territories over a long period from the early 1970s to the present. The authors have analysed the dynamics of the gross regional product of the considered regions and its structure, the share of agriculture in GRP of the regions, the volume of agricultural production (in US dollars), cultivated areas and a number of indicators of agricultural development efficiency. Conclusions are made about the low role of the considered regions in the formation of the RF GDP, as well as about the insignificant share of agricultural products in GRP of the regions and the decreased efficiency of agricultural land use in comparison with the average indicators for the Russian Federation.

Ensuring food security in Kazakhstan in the context of the EAEU

The aim is to study the problems of ensuring food security of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the conditions of the Eurasian Economic Union. Methods - monographic, economic-statistical, abstract-logical. Results - it is shown that each of the EAEU member States has identified priority areas and mechanisms for sustainable development. The main economic indicators of agroindustrial complex, indicating a significant increase in the volume of agricultural production in comparison with the previous time periodare considered. The level of per capita consumption of basic food products of the Union member States has been justified, which characterizes the economic and physical availability of food and confirms a favorable situation in this area. The regions producing the largest volumes of food products in monetary terms have been identified; sectors that provide more than half of all production in the countryare identified. Despite the positive trends, problems that have a significant impact on the growth of production potential of Kazakhstanare identified. An insufficient level of consumption of certain types of products in the republic is noted. Conclusions - in order to ensure the collective food security of the EAEU member States, measures aimed to develop cooperation and integration in the AIC, to create a favorable environment for increasing the competitiveness of the industry, marketing of agricultural products and foodhave been proposed. In agricultural policy, it is important to take into account the main risks and threats to sustainable economic development: exceeding the threshold value of imports; price imbalances in goods market; shortage of qualified personnel; underdevelopment of the system of monitoring and forecasting indicators of agri-food market.

The aim -is to study the current state of the development of livestock production in the Urdzhar region of the East Kazakhstan region, to identify the reasons that restrain the increase in the potential of meat and dairy industry. Methods - monographic, analysis and synthesis, statistical and economic, computational and constructive, balance. Results - the results of the activity of livestock production sector for 2016-2020 were analyzed; the dynamics of such indicators as the amount of livestock products; the population number of livestock and poultry, their productivity; structure of production by category of agri businesses, as well as their share and personal subsidiary plots in the total volume of agricultural products and the population number of livestock are presented. The paper presents the potential for growth in the output of livestock subcomplex, provision of its own resources, a steady growth in agricultural production, a leading position in milk production in the region, the creation of modernized dairy farms, organization of purchasing milk from the population and selling own dairy products to other areas of the region. On the basis of the study, the main problems in the development of animal husbandry in the region were identified, including small-scale commodity; concentration of most of the livestock products received in the household sector of the population, an insignificant share of breeding animals, a low level of livestock productivity, technical and technological equipment of the machine and tractor facilities and operating processing enterprises; lack of a developed infrastructure for the procurement and processing of leather and fur raw materials. The authors note that despite the sufficient supply of raw materials and the availability of infrastructure, the network of processing facilities (meat, milk) is poorly developed, there is a shortage of collateral, and there are no typical cattle burial grounds. Conclusions - it is necessary to master innovative technologies for production of low-cost, ecological, competitive products of the industry, which will reduce the negative impact on the environment, material costs, and effectively use land and water resources. Proposals on theoretical and practical results have been developed.

Проблемы сокращения потерь сельскохозяйственной продукции

Aim. Assess and analyze the structure of agricultural production and the total amount of losses during its transportation, sale and processing. Materials and Methods. The scientific research was based on an assessment of the reported aggregated statistical data on the volume of agricultural production in Russia. Methods of graphic, statistical analysis, methods of analogy and comparison, genesis and synthesis of scientific knowledge were used in the work. Results. The gross volumes of agricultural production were calculated (280 million rubles), the volumes of products sold (8.25 trillion rubles) aimed at personal consumption were determined (81 million rubles), and the total losses of products in the process of their sale and consumption, and transportation to the final consumer were calculated (48 million tons). It was concluded that manufacturers today are actually aimed at exporting raw materials, without its subsequent processing and storage due to the lack of established logistics routes and the necessary capacities for its long-term storage. Recommendations were developed for the development of infrastructure for long-term storage and subsequent processing of agricultural products. Conclusion. Conclusions are drawn about the need to revise the existing system of logistics supplies and transportation of agricultural products from the field to the storage facility or producer. For the successful intensification of the existing process of internal processing of agricultural products, it is necessary to increase the storage and freezing capacities of raw materials.

Economic mechanisms of agricultural production growth

The purpose of the article is to study the economic mechanisms of agricultural production growth within one country and, in particular, Kazakhstan. The growth of agricultural products in Kazakhstan and the provision of the country with food products are complex and relevant issues, which include the problems of production, the situation in the national agricultural markets, solvency and competitiveness, the annual volume of agricultural products, the increase in annual revenue, ensuring the availability of food products to consumers, laws in the regulation of the agricultural industry, etc. The potential of agriculture is correlated with the level of food security of the country. State regulation of the agro-industrial complex is aimed at ensuring food security, stability of agricultural products entering the market, creating favorable conditions for entrepreneurs, increasing the competitiveness of domestic products, as well as improving the standard of living of the population of the regions by creating favorable conditions for the development of crop production, animal husbandry, fisheries, processing of agricultural products and the food industry, veterinary-sanitary and phytosanitary security, it is aimed at providing technical equipment and other auxiliary areas of activity, social and infrastructure development on regional territory. The authors of the article emphasize that agriculture will become an important part of the agro-industrial complex. Agriculture is an industry aimed at providing the population with food and is a raw material necessary for the economic sphere. It occupies an important place not only in the agro-industrial complex, but also in the national economy of the whole country. Agriculture is the most important part of the material production industry. Agriculture provides the country with food and industry with some raw materials.

Agriculture of the Irkutsk Region: Hard Experience in the Industrial Region

The article deals with historical and modern problems of agricultural development in the Irkutsk region in the context of industrial development of the region. Structural changes in the agricultural sector, the ratio of crop production and animal husbandry in the production of agricultural products are traced. The study found that within the framework of large-scale programs for the development of the productive forces of the Irkutsk region, the main attention was paid to industrial development, and agriculture was assigned the role of a secondary industry. This was manifested in the residual principle of financing the agricultural sector, its material base and the development of the social sphere in rural areas. Rural youth were involved in the construction and operation of production facilities, which led to a reduction of the population in the nearby villages and villages of the region. Special attention is paid to the problems of modern agriculture in the conditions of market transformations in the industry. On the basis of statistical material, the characteristics of the main categories of farms are given: agricultural organizations, farms and households. The analysis shows the leading role of private households in the total volume of agricultural production. At the same time, there is still an insignificant share of farms in the goods produced. The demographic consequences of the destruction of the state-farm-collective-farm system, manifested in a reduction in the number of villagers and a large shortage of agricultural workers, are particularly noted.

Non-traditional legumes in the soil-protecting crop rotation of the mountain zone of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania

Mountainous and sloping lands occupy one third of the territory of our country, more than 50% in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, and are a huge reserve for increasing agricultural production. Soil and climatic conditions on the slopes of the mountains and in the intermountain valleys make it possible to grow environmentally friendly products, to heal the seeds of agricultural crops from viral diseases. Increasing the production of agricultural products is one of the most important problems of agriculture. The mountainous territory of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania is an important reserve for increasing the volume of agricultural production. About forty percent of the total area of the republic is concentrated here, most of which is characterized by favorable soil and climatic conditions. The development of agrotechnical, anti-erosion measures is one of the factors of preventing erosion processes in the soil and restoring soil fertility. The research was carried out in a mountainous area on mountain-meadow soils. According to the mechanical composition, it is middle loamy. The soil contains a high level of organic matter. It is moderately provided with hydrolyzable nitrogen and mobile phosphorus, and is highly provided with potassium. Studies have shown that these soils are favorable for the cultivation of perennial non-traditional leguminous grass species-eastern galega and crown vetch and the obtaining of products with high feed rates. The greatest soil protection effect from water erosion in the crop rotation was possessed by perennial leguminous grasses cultivated on a herbage – clover with timothy, eastern galega and crown vetch, which have a coefficient of soil protection from water erosion. In the soil-protecting six-field crop rotation eastern galega and crown vetch improved the structural and aggregate composition of the soil, the water resistance of soil aggregates, density and pore volume, also they increased soil fertility.

Тенденції та перспективи розвитку агропромислового сектору регіонів України

Ensuring the development of the agro-industrial sector at both the national and regional levels is a priority for Ukraine’s integration not only into the European but also into the global economic space. The purpose of the article is to study the trends and prospects for the development of the agro-industrial sector of the regions of Ukraine. In the research process, the methods of theoretical analysis, synthesis, observation, description, tabular-graphic, correlation analysis were used. According to the study results, the reduction of the share of agriculture, forestry and fisheries sector in the structure of the gross domestic product of Ukraine in the period 2015–2019 from 12.06% in 2015 to 8.97% in 2019 was established. The unstable dynamics of the agricultural index in Ukraine during 2015–2020 was determined, wherein 2019–2020, the decrease in the physical volume of agricultural production by farms of all categories was 6.8 and 12.9 relative points compared to previous years. There was revealed the growing dynamics of labour productivity at enterprises engaged in agricultural activities in 2015-2019, except for the year 2017, when there was a slight decrease in this indicator by 1.3%, compared to 2016. The results of the correlation analysis, aimed at determining the relationship between the key variables that characterize the development of the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine, showed that among the studied regions of Ukraine, a very high and high direct correlation was demonstrated by nine regions of Ukraine, among which the Lviv region became the leader. The proposed approach to applying correlation analysis between the volume of output and the expenses of all enterprises for the production (work, services) can be applied to other types of economic activity.Prospects for the development of the agro-industrial sector of the regions of Ukraine are seen in the following: 1) the creation of unique integration business networks through the implementation of cooperation mechanisms; 2) support for the implementation of export operations at the appropriate level and the development of the existing export support infrastructure, in particular at the regional level; 3) establishing cooperation between potential producers of raw materials and processors, efficient use of production capacity and innovative production of agro-industrial complex (AIC) with the use of technological innovations on this basis; 4) effective use and increase of resource potential, ensuring the economic stability of agro-industrial entities; 5) state support and stimulation of the agro-industrial complex; 6) reforming the scientific and technical sphere of the agro-industrial complex.

Goal. To analyze the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Crimea as a component of the region's industrial safety. The hypo-thesis of the study. Agricultural producers are gradually adapting to the new conditions in the Republic of Crimea during 2014-2017, and there are some problems in the production of agricultural products. Method or methodology of the work. The authors used structural-logical sequence of analysis of indicators of agro-industrial complex, considering the General characteristics of agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Crimea, the structure of the agricultural products of the Crimea, advanced agricultural enterprises. Using a structural-logical sequence of analysis of indicators of agro-industrial complex, it can be noted that, in general, the agricultural potential of Crimea is huge, however, the instability of some components, at the end of 2017, a decline, a decrease in the rate of growth of crop, livestock, thus we see the net profit and increased share of profitable enterprises. This dynamics suggests that agricultural producers are gradually adapting to new conditions, but there are some problems that hinder more fruitful development, primarily in terms of resource provision, logistics aspects and technological upgrades. The strategy for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Crimea, as a component of the region's industrial security – is to create safe conditions for development, improve the quality and volume of agricultural production, and its competitiveness in the Republic of Crimea. The scope of the results. The results obtained are of practical significance and can be used by economic entities in the agricultural industry, implementation of investment projects at the level of the Republic of Crimea. Further research should be directed to the development of methods for assessing the economic security of the agro-industrial complex with the choice of indicators proposed in this study as a component of economic security.

Digitalization as Tool of Innovative Development of Agrarian Territories

The article considers the impact of digitalization on the innovative processes in the economic agrarian sector. Today a key trend of agricultural development is digitalization. It will help increase the volume of agricultural production and the profitability of the agroindustrial complex industries. In the developed countries, digitalization has a positive effect creating new management principles and rules for the innovative activity conduct. In Russia the development of digital economics and the introduction of innovations into the agroindustrial complex is limited by depleted technical facilities, financial pressure and staff qualification. In the framework of the research the authors have identified that the digital technology introduction will increase labor efficiency, product quality, decrease inflation and unemployment providing for a stable economic growth. However, most technologies are accessible only for large and medium business. The authors suggest forming IT platforms in the agrarian sector of the country’s macroregions with the state&private interaction in part of innovation introduction. Understanding the importance of digital technology introduction into the economic agrarian sector as a method of increasing the efficiency of agricultural production, the state builds a general strategy of breakthrough innovation introduction. Consequently, digital technologies will accelerate the integration of various economic areas transforming the innovative processes into an essential trend of economic development.

Assessment of the Response Time to Information Messages in the Conditions of a Farms Based on the Methodology of Real-Time Systems

As you know, modern farms equipp many technological devices, the operation of which directly affects the volume of agricultural products, the period of readiness, their quality, shelf life, etc., in this regard, the issues of assessing the response time and reaction to information flows are relevant. The article presents the results of constructing a model based on real-time systems for assessing system stability and the response time of a subject (farmer) to information messages from IoT devices to the subject’s smartphone, depending on the time of performing current, priority and critical technological operations, their relevance, as well as on the level of information noise and the availability of resources. The analysis of the model revealed that an increase in the number of control objects and information messages increases the system response delay time from 0 to 36.5 hours which will especially depends on the receipt of priority and critical messages. The article offers solutions to reduce the response time, in particular by dividing the message flow into production and personal, resource optimization, using digital technologies (IoT), databases and improving the information skills of farmers.

РЕГИОНАЛЬНЫЙ ОПЫТ ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЯ ПРОДОВОЛЬСТВЕННОЙ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ

The pandemic, which began in 2020, has seriously exacerbated the problem of food security in many countries. The purpose of the research is to identify the main factors of the stability of the agro-industrial complex using the example of one of the Russian regions and to consider the possibility of applying the accumulated experience in other subjects of the Federation. The object of the study is the Republic of Mordovia, a relatively small Volga region, located in the zone of risky farming and consistently demonstrating high rates of agricultural production. The region produces 1.2% of the total volume of agricultural products while its area is 0.2% and a population is 0.54% of the values of these indicators in the country. The study used data from Rosstat, proceedings from authoritative international organizations. One of the main factors for the stability of the regional agri-food complex is the high proportion of agricultural organizations, which is significantly higher than the national average. However, the cultivation of potatoes and vegetables is mainly concentrated in personal subsidiary plots, therefore, along with the implementation of an agricultural policy aimed at the development of large-scale agro-industrial production, it is necessary to organize the purchase of products from the population. This will help raise the living standards of villagers and stabilize the demographic situation. Another factor in the sustainable development of agriculture in Mordovia is the correct choice of intra-industry specialization. The leading industry is animal husbandry, the success of which is largely ensured by the dynamic development of poultry farming: the region accounts for 3.6% of the poultry population in agricultural organizations of the Russian Federation, Mordovia ranks 10th in the country in the production of eggs in agricultural organizations. The current demographic situation poses a potential threat to the development of the agricultural sector. If in Russia 1990-2018 the number of rural residents decreased by 4%, while in the Republic of Mordovia - by more than 30%. Therefore, the priority task of the social and economic policy of Mordovia should be the preservation of the rural population and the creation of conditions for attracting and fixing migrants in the region

РОЛЬ ЦЕНТРАЛЬНО-ЧЕРНОЗЕМНОГО РЕГИОНА В АГРАРНОЙ ЭКОНОМИКЕ РОССИИ

With the aim of developing the national economy in the Russian Federation, economic regionalization has been widely used, which contributes to increasing the economic efficiency of regulating the productive forces in the country. The aim of the study is to assess the place and role of the Central Black Earth region in the economy of the agro-industrial complex of Russia. The research methodology is based on economic-statistical and correlation-regression analyzes. The scientific novelty of the research consists in identifying the patterns of development of the Central Black Earth region as an agrarian region. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that taking into account the revealed patterns when developing strategies for the development of individual sectors of the agro-industrial complex will allow us to overcome the identified negative trend of reducing the production of certain types of agricultural products. The Central Black Earth region occupies a special place among 12 economic regions of Russia. It occupies no more than 1.0% of the total land area of the country, but ensures the production of 16.3% of agricultural products manufactured in the Russian Federation. The share of agricultural production in the gross regional product of the Central Black Earth region in 2019 remained 27.9%, which makes it possible to consider the Black Earth region as a region with a predominance of agaric production. An analysis of the indices of agricultural production in Russia and in the Central Black Earth region showed that the average growth index of agricultural production in 2011-2018 in the Central Black Earth region amounted to 116.1%, however, the dynamics of changes in these indices reflects a negative trend of deceleration, which can be described by a linear equation of the form y = -3.4867x + 131.8. Among the subjects of the Central Black Earth region, the maximum growth in the volume of agricultural production for 2005-2019. observed in the Belgorod region - 8.3 times, and the minimum in the Lipetsk region - 6.8 times

The Influence of RMB Exchange Rate Fluctuation on the Import and Export Trade of Agricultural Products in Jiangxi Province

With the continuous growth of China's economy and the influence of external factors in accelerating the marketization process of RMB under the overall environment, the exchange rate of RMB against US dollar has been rising year by year. Whether long-term or short-term exchange rate fluctuations will have a huge impact on the trade of many industries, and the import and export trade of agricultural products is also under the positive or negative impact of the RMB exchange rate changes. As the import and export trade of agricultural products is related to people's livelihood, social stability and a series of major issues, it is more necessary to conduct in-depth research on this issue with the support of theory. Taking the fluctuation of RMB exchange rate as independent variable and the import and export volume of agricultural products in Jiangxi province as dependent variable, this paper makes an empirical analysis on the relationship between the two. Therefore, based on the combination of previous scholars research literature, innovation in Jiangxi province as the research object, based on the actual agricultural products import and export data in Jiangxi province, using VAR model on the RMB exchange rate changes and import and export of agricultural products between the dynamic effects of the empirical analysis, and according to the empirical results obtained import and export of agricultural products depends on their own ascension in Jiangxi province.

The article establishes the specifics of the activities of farms as one of the forms of management in the agricultural sector of the economy. It has been determined that the main forms of financial support for farms are budget financing, lending and self-financing. The issues of finding the optimal combination of various sources of financial support and determining the effectiveness of state financial support are relevant and need to be addressed. The role of state financial support, as well as its place in the system of financial support for the activities of farms, are defined in the article. The types and directions of state financial support for farms in Ukraine, as well as existing financial support programs, were studied. The analysis of the volume of state financial support for farms for the period 2018-2021 was carried out and the impact on the dynamics of development of farms of various types was determined. The main problems of obtaining and using state financial support are identified. The necessity of taking into account indicators of the effectiveness of the use of funds and achieving the established goals of providing state support funds when making a decision on the formation of support programs and mechanisms for distributing funds is substantiated. State financial support for farms is carried out by stimulating the increase in the volume of agricultural products with high added value; development of existing credit and financial mechanisms and introduction of new financial instruments; creation of favorable conditions for effective activity; involvement of youth in agriculture. The article substantiates that the main areas of state financial support for farms in Ukraine are: encouraging the creation of new farms and strengthening the competitiveness of existing farms; stimulating the development of agricultural service cooperatives; stimulating the transition of farms to the creation of organic products (raw materials); stimulation of primary processing and processing of products grown by farms; support for the development of animal husbandry in farms; technical and technological renewal of farms and agricultural cooperatives.

МЕТОДИКА СЕГМЕНТУВАННЯ РЕГІОНІВ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ ЗА СТАНОМ АГРАРНОГО СЕКТОРУ

The article proposes a methodical approach to segmenting the regions of the national economy by the state of the agricultural sector. The assessment of the state of the agricultural sector of the regions and their segmentation was carried out in two stages. At the first stage, two parameters are set for evaluation and segmentation: the volume of agricultural production in farms of all categories and the number of employed population in agriculture, forestry and fisheries. The level of each region according to the selected parameters (high or low) was determined relative to their average value. As a result, four groups of regions were obtained: with significant volumes of agricultural production and with a significant number of employees; with insignificant volumes of production and with a significant number of employees; with significant production volumes and a small number of employees; with insignificant volumes of production and with insignificant number of employees. In the second stage, evaluation and segmentation were conducted to determine the specialization of the agricultural sector of the regions (livestock, crop production). Grouping by relevant specialization is carried out according to the following parameters: the number of enterprises engaged in agricultural activities; the number of employees in enterprises engaged in agricultural activities; agricultural products per capita; sown areas of crops; gross harvest of cereals and legumes; gross harvest of sunflower, potatoes, vegetables, fruit and berry crops; raising farm animals; production of meat, milk, eggs and wool. The ratings of the regions of the national economy were determined for each of the indicators selected for analysis, and then the arithmetic mean of these ratings was calculated. According to the results of the analysis of the calculated average values of regional ratings for indicators that separately characterize the development of crop production and livestock development, Vinnytsia, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Lviv and Khmelnytsky regions are almost equally focused on both crop and livestock production - they occupy almost identical positions in two different ratings; the agricultural sector of such regions as Dnipropetrovsk, Odessa, Kirovohrad, Chernihiv and Mykolayiv specializes in crop production; the agricultural sector of Ivano-Frankivsk, Zakarpattia, and Volyn oblasts is mostly focused on animal husbandry.
