Assessment of shifts in production and consumption of livestock products in the Central and Far Eastern Federal Districts

Abstract

For 2005–2021, significant structural shifts occurred in the production and production structure of the main types of livestock products (livestock and poultry for slaughter (in slaughter weight), milk) of the Central and Far Eastern Federal Districts, which are confirmed by the assessment of the integral coefficient of structural differences. These assessments made it possible to establish that the production of livestock products in the Central Federal District is characterized by a predominant concentration in agricultural organizations, which contributes to an increase in milk consumption and milk production by the population of the regions of the district. In the Far Eastern Federal District, the main producers of products are households that are mainly focused on ensuring personal consumption of products. The organizational and economic structure of the Far Eastern Federal District is characterized by relative stability, which requires attention from the authorities, since the population's consumption of livestock products per capita in most regions of the district is significantly lower than the average Russian consumption. The increasing involvement of agricultural organizations and peasant (farm) farms in the production of livestock products with active financial support from the state and the presence of consumer demand will increase the consumption of the most important types of products per capita in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District to the all-Russian level.
