Twenty-five years of Russia’s post-Soviet agriculture: Geographical trends and contradictions

Abstract: ⎯Structural and regional changes in Russian agriculture over the past 25 years are analyzed, and the main antagonistic trends in its development are identified. Regional differences in decreasing planted areas are considered, which nevertheless did not hinder increased crop production or its exports. Annual changes in the balances of production and consumption; grain, meat, and milk exports and imports; and regional shifts in the production of key products are analyzed. Herd dynamics of various cattle and poul… Show more

“…Soviet agriculture suffered from low efficiency and high labor intensity. State subsidies allowed agricultural enterprises to exist even in areas that had unsuitable biophysical conditions for crop or animal production (Nefedova 2017). In the early 1990s, when the command economy collapsed and state subsidies were withdrawn, agricultural productivity declined and agricultural enterprises were closed in many villages.…”

“…In total, 39 million hectares of sown area was abandoned in Russia between 1990 and 2010 (Lesiv et al 2018). Agriculture only started to rebound in the early 2000s, accompanied by farm restructuring and the adoption of labor-saving technologies, such as more efficient machinery (Nefedova 2017;Rylko and Jolly 2005). Market-oriented large-scale agricultural companies (agroholdings) replaced the former Soviet collective farms and integrated into national and global production chains (Bogachev 2015).…”

“…Consequently, destiny of rural territories is closely connected with agriculture and forestry. Agriculture in European Russia strongly varies in space and determined by natural conditions and by distance from cities (Ioffe et al 2004;Nefedova 2012Nefedova , 2017. Only 14% of Russia's landmass has climate favourable for agriculture, such as the highly fertile Black Earth Zone (or Chernozem Belt) located south of Moscow.…”

“…Chapter 3 by Sharygin highlighted how a California bush fire influenced outmigration from affected areas; while in contrast, this case study attempts to highlight a vice versa causal relationship: Could demography be a root cause for a forest fire disaster? In this study, I used media analysis and my existing knowledge and experience on spatial organisation of Russian countryside (Nefedova 2003;Nefedova et al 2001), the rural demographic problems (Ioffe et al 2004(Ioffe et al , 2006Nefedova 2013) and the land use and agricultural change (Nefedova 2017;Nefedova and Pallot 2007) in the European part of Russia to explain the root causes of the 2010 catastrophic fires.…”
