Evolution processes acceleration, characteristic for modern development, and complicacy of territorial-economic systems structure and ways of their elements collaboration result in additional prerequisites for genesis of economic-legal imbalances, i.e. disequilibrium states, gaining systematic and long-term character. Imbalance of socio-economic system of Russia agrarian regions reached such scales that it becomes an essential factor of security violation. Transformation processes taking place in Russia agrarian regions in recent decades demanded new approaches to regional development, in particular, applying of neoendogenous models combining endogenous resources and exogenous factors. The article describes basic characteristics of a rural territories sustainable development regional model based on three components: employment of territory endogenous potential, development of social capital and neoendogenous units (local self-government). Special attention is paid to clearing imbalances in economic-legal framework of agrarian regions on the basis of indicative planning application.
Despite the high potential of agricultural production and the fact that Russia is among the world leaders in the production of some agricultural products, today Russia often tops the rankings of the world’s leading importers rather than exporters. While earlier the main task was to meet domestic demand, now it is generally possible to speak about the solution of the food security problem in Russia. One of the key areas of the long-term strategy for the development of agro-industrial complex is the creation of conditions for the development of exports and the expansion of the structure of exported goods. The purpose of the study is to analyze the current level and trends in the development of agricultural exports, as well as to analyze key methods and priority directions of its state support. As a result of the analysis of the current level and trends in the development of agricultural exports, the main export products and main buyers were identified, the growth of agricultural exports was shown, the geography of agricultural exports was specified, measures of state support were identified. The main problems impeding the expansion of export potential of domestic agricultural production in modern conditions are as follows: poor competitiveness of exported agricultural products, insufficient level of knowledge and experience of agricultural producers to carry out export activities, shortcomings in the registration and certification of products, strict phytosanitary supervision, insufficient financing for the development of export potential. Having studied trends in the development of exports of agricultural products of the Russian Federation, its potential and opportunities for expansion were proved. For this purpose, the federal project “Export of agricultural products” was adopted and implemented. The following areas of state support for agricultural exports are defined as efficient ones: concessional lending, compensation of costs for transportation of products, compensation of costs for certification of products, support of oil crops production. It should be taken into account that the support is provided by means of financial and non-financial instruments, the list of which is constantly updated in accordance with the requests of service recipients.
Growing demand for agricultural products and solving the problems of food security of the countries of the world require the introduction of new technologies in the agroindustrial complex, contributing to improved productivity and food quality. According to a worldwide survey of PwC Digital IQ for 2017, IoT technologies are in the first place in the ranking, taking into account the level of investment in innovation that can change the business models of companies. In this regard, the article discusses the directions of development of IT-technologies in the agro-industrial sector and the dynamics of investments for 2014-2016, as well as the stages of the introduction of ITtechnologies in yield management in the farm. Particular attention is paid to the implementation in Russia of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology and the implementation of the international program of agricultural robotization, Ural Cognitive Agro. The main barriers to the implementation of automation in rural areas and the need to expand the activities of operators from the provision of communication services to complete solutions for the agricultural sector in the field of IoT have been identified.
