Problems and prospects of development of horticulture in Russia

Abstract

In Russia, about 25 kg of fruit per year is produced per capita, which is 75 % of the rational norm of nutrition. In the domestic agri-food market, more than 70 % are imported fruits. At the present stage, a negative trend in the development of horticulture is the reduction of areas under fruit and berry crops. For 2000-2017 their total area decreased by 250 thousand hectares, or by 32.1 %. A signifi cant increase in the yield of orchards and berry fi elds (88.9 percent) during the reduction of surface area did not ensure a high growth rates of fruit production. During the period under review, their gross collection increased by only 7.6 per cent. The growth of fruit and berry production has been achieved for the set of horticulture development in the households. Here the production of fruits increased to 58.4 %. In agricultural organizations, it decreased by 54.0%. To solve the problem of providing the population with fruits in terms of import substitution, it is necessary to increase the area of orchards by 378 thousand ha, or 73.1%, which will bring the gross harvest of fruit and berry products to 10320 thousand tons. Important areas of development of horticulture is the concentration of fruit production in specialized organizations and farms, the transfer of the sector to an innovative way of development, increasing the investment attractiveness of horticulture through the improvement of state support and the creation of integrated structures.

Food safety regulations implementation and their impact on food security level in Malaysia: A review

“…Food resources are one of the main concerns of food security worldwide. A country will achieve food independence if it manages to produce food products domestically more than the amount needed by the people (Kulikov and Minakov, 2019). Research has found that the factors that affect the food resources nationally and globally are climate change, population growth, and economic development (Radulescu et al, 2020).…”

Impact of technical and technological modernization and special measures in addressing food security

“…Failure to realize these products in time thus results in large losses. Dairy farming is a less profitable industry compared to the production of grain, sugar beets, sunflowers, etc., with a long payback period of investment (more than 10 years), which makes it less attractive for investment (Kulikov and Minakov, 2019).…”

Technologies of cultivation and processing of Lycium chinense Mill. and Lycium barbarum L. fruits in the conditions of Uzbekistan

“…The yield of berry plantations requires a modern development of measures system to develop the production of Goji berries. The development of berry production implies the following: the use of high-quality healthy planting material, the use of high-yielding species with good taste and transportable qualities of berries, the use of protection of berry plantations from diseases and pests, the use of rational and efficient irrigation [13,14,15,16]. The development of Goji berries production on an innovative basis should be carried out with the state support of the industry [17,18,19].…”
