Substantiation of structural changes priorities in the Saratov region agro-food complex

Introduction. Modern challenges and threats to the development of the Russian agro-food complex determine the search for new growth sources of the complex, the strengthening of orientation towards the formation of a balanced functional and sectoral structure. The relevance of the regional aspect of research and substantiation of structural changes in the agro-food complex is associated with a deep socio-economic, natural-climatic and socio-cultural differentiation of the country’s regions. Theoretical analysis. Changing the role of regions in solving food security problems and providing the population with quality food is a global trend. The rupture of global food chains as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the sanctions confrontation strengthens the influence of local producers on the food market, suggests the need to form a multilevel agro-food complex of the country. Structural changes in the agro-food complex of Russia have their own characteristics associated with the heterogeneity of its spatial development. Empirical analysis. The accelerated growth of the agricultural sector of Saratov region economy due to the concentration on the production of a limited group of agricultural products (cereals and oilseeds, sugar) has been revealed. The regional food market segments, which have a surplus and shortage of products, are determined. It is substantiated that current trends extrapolation in the development of the regional agro-food complex preserves its unbalanced structure and further growth in the share of raw materials and primary processing products, while reducing the share of deep processing products. Results. Adaptation to new risks and threats is associated with an increasing trend towards the localization of production and supply of agricultural products and food. The priority areas for the development of the regional food system should be the diversification of agro-food production, local food chains formation with deep processing of agricultural raw materials, and the intensification of interregional exchange.

Effect evaluation of the industrial policy project instruments application in the regions

Introduction. This study is devoted to the analysis of industrial policy project instruments implemented by the Russian Industrial Development Fund, from the standpoint of assessing their impact on the systemic results of the industrial development of Russian regions. Theoretical analysis. The industrial sector of the economy has historically played a key role in the socio-economic development of Russia. Given the backbone role of industry in the country’s economy, the issues of state support for industrial development are traditionally the most important on the agenda of the state’s economic policy. Established in 2014, over the past period, the Fund has demonstrated the fl exibility and adaptability of its programs to changing conditions, has provided its customers with convenient tools for concessional lending for technological modernization projects, and, in general, has become the most popular instrument of industrial policy. At the same time, the question of the strategic eff ectiveness of the Fund’s activities as a systemic institution of industrial policy, solving not only local tasks of supporting modernization projects and creating new industries, but also the tasks of industrial development and growth in general, remains open. Empirical analysis. Given that the problem of industrial development is ultimately localized at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, in this study, based on the methods of regression analysis, an assessment has been made of the impact of the Fund’s activities on the development of the manufacturing sector in the regions of Russia. The work has assessed the impact of projects implemented within the framework of the Fund’s programs on the indicators of the production index and the volume of shipment of goods, services on their own in the manufacturing industry of the region by groups of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, depending on the level of the average annual cost of investment projects implemented with the participation of the Industrial Development Fund. Results.The analysis has showed that the Fund’s current tools have a positive eff ect on the systemic growth and development of industry only up to a certain level of intensity of their use in regions with an average and low level of industrial development. As for industrialized regions, the results obtained here from the standpoint of systemic eff ects of accelerated industrial development are not obvious.

САМОРАЗВИТИЕ РЕГИОНОВ КАК СПОСОБ РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО ПОТЕНЦИАЛА

Введение. Социально-экономическое развитие современной России возможно только благодаря реализации идеи само- развития регионов на основе эффективного использования их экономического потенциала. Исследование данной проблемы – это поиск наиболее действенных способов гармонизации экономических, финансовых отношений, поиск способов преодоления финансово-экономического кризиса в регионах России и выхода на траекторию экономического роста. Теоретический анализ. В статье акцентируется, что саморазвитие регионов способствует активизации использования их экономическо- го потенциала, получения ими необходимых экономических и финансовых ресурсов, созданию условий для перевода регио- нальной экономики в режим финансового самообеспечения на основе лучшего использования имеющихся в распоряжении ресурсов. Обосновывается, что некоторые регионы имеют объективные преимущества в реализации концепции саморазвития благодаря таким условиям, как природа, климат, географическое положение, отраслевая структура, реализация важных го- сударственных программ на их территории и т.д. В то же время доказывается, что не каждый регион обладает способностью к саморазвитию, не важно каким экономическим потенциалом он обладает. Результаты. Данное исследование дает возможность оценить складывающийся процесс саморазвития регионов с учетом использования их экономического потенциала.
