Prospects For Regional Potato Producers In The Context Of Agricultural Markets Globalization

Abstract

Globalization of agricultural markets provides new opportunities for the development of regional producers, and at the same time sets the task of improving production efficiency. Formation of a single economic space in the context of globalization of markets, including the markets for agricultural products, ensures new prospects for regional producers and makes many countries face the goal of improving agricultural production efficiency. In this case, the tasks of primary importance include reduction of costs, increase in the residual value of products. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the prospects of regional potato producers in the context of agricultural markets globalization. The study is based on the data of the Russian Federation for the period 2010-2020. The research methods include such general scientific methods as logical and comparative analysis, review of information and statistical data. According to our calculations, the unused export potential in the aggregate estimate makes 365.3 thousand tons in the total amount of 72.7 million USD. The potato markets of Iraq, Uzbekistan and Ukraine have the largest potential for export from Russia. Implementation of the underused export potential will require an increase in production, which is possible due to the expansion of areas of potato cultivation by 189.8 thousand hectares, or an increase in yield by 26.9%, to 205 t from 1 ha, which is more preferable. The expansion of production will have a positive impact on both the economic indicators of regional producers and the employment of rural population.

Studying the structural changes in the volume of agricultural crop production in the regional agro-industrial complex

“…Many domestic and foreign scientists are engaged in the analysis and assessment of agricultural efficiency. According to some authors, the efficiency of land resource use is manifested as a result of the intensification of agricultural production [1][2], other researchers point to the trend in recent years to expand the area under grain crops, increase yields and gross harvests [3]. A number of scientists have identified the connection between transformational changes in the territorial structure and the prospects for the development of grain production [4], and the role of digitalization in solving the problems of efficient land management has been determined [5].…”
