The article is devoted to analyzing the current state of agriculture in Volgograd region and identifying the problems that impede successful functioning of a number of branches included in its structure. Currently, the strategy for developing the Russian agro-industrial complex is set out in the “State Program for Developing Agriculture and Regulating Agricultural Products, Raw Materials and Food Markets for 2013–2020” adopted by the Government in 2012. This document set the following main tasks for the domestic agriculture: ensuring food security and accelerated import substitution of meat, dairy products, vegetables, potatoes, etc. The analysis carried out in the article showed that the greatest success in the region was achieved in the production of crop products. Volgograd region is one of the leaders in cropping vegetables, grain crops, and sunflower seeds not only in the Southern Federal District, but also in Russia as a whole. At the same time, the region lags far behind other agricultural regions in producing the most important food products such as milk and meat. The accumulated problems have a negative impact on the development of agriculture. Among them, one should highlight low productivity of a hectare of land due to the decrease in soil fertility. Another serious problem remains the extremely low material and technical equipment status of agricultural production. The author sees the way out of this situation, first of all, in the active state support of local agricultural producers. Such support has been carried out in Volgograd region in recent years and is already yielding results.

ProducƟon efficiency characterizes the effecƟveness of producƟon. This category shows the increase in producƟon volumes and at what price for the products and what costs of resources for the producƟon of these products this increase is achieved, that is, it indicates the quality of economic growth. To determine the economic efficiency of producƟon, it is necessary to study the results of producƟon and sales acƟviƟes, to analyze expenses, sales prices, cost and profitability. The milk market is part of the structure of the food market of any country. The state of the country’s economy, its food security, the standard of living and health of the populaƟon depend on its development. Such factors as a constant and unpredictable change in the economic situaƟon in the country, changes in legislaƟon, inadequate state regulaƟon of producƟon and sales of products, poor quality of raw materials and auxiliary materials, lack of moƟvaƟonal levers, a decline in the populaƟon’s income, reducƟon in the animal feed base and high-quality livestock influence the milk market. The pricing situaƟon on the milk market in Ukraine, the producƟvity of cows and the costs of producing the milk are considered to evaluate the effecƟveness of milk producƟon. A method is proposed for calculaƟng a variable assessment of the economic efficiency of milk producƟon depending on costs, cow producƟvity and selling prices in an unstable market, which takes into account the possible market situaƟon, milk producƟon technologies, price factors, opƟmisƟc and pessimisƟc condiƟons for the development of the industry. Variable calculaƟons of the break-even price of milk sales have been carried out depending on the producƟvity of cows, producƟon costs and the projected market condiƟons for milk. The proposed methodological approaches enable the government of the agro-industrial complex to monitor the livestock producƟon market and develop sound strategies to support agricultural producers, taking into account tax policies, internal and external condiƟons in food markets.

The state’s desire in recent years to carry out activities to oust the Russian market of imported goods and various materials and equipment is a positive sign and significant step in the direction of transition of the Russian economy from commodity–monetary to real, based on deep processing of raw materials, but also restore previously lost technologies and the formation of new products and development on the basis of existing scientific and technical potential. Undoubtedly, this is of particular importance, especially in the military-industrial complex-not to be dependent on foreign components, materials and equipment, especially in the conditions of ongoing sanctions. This also applies to such industries as the cable industry, in which the scientific, technical and financial realities of implementing the import substitution policy in the cable industry are important, both on the part of the government and on the part of manufacturers themselves. The article presents the main problems of import substitution in the cable industry. The characteristic of the program and the main activities of EKZ JSC in the framework of import substitution of cable products are presented. Based on the results, a conclusion is made about the role of import substitution in the cable industry.

The article considers theoretical and practical aspects of management of foreign economic activity of chemical industry enterprises of Ukraine through the prism of crisis management. Attention is focused on the fact that at the moment chemical production in Ukraine is in the shadow of import substitution, and exports in general are losing production and economic potential, perseverance. The chemical industry is closely linked to the agro-industrial complex, and this issue is especially relevant in light of the possible food crisis, the arrival of which is predicted at the UN after the pandemic. That is why the answers at the state level should be found in the appropriate chronology, which will help to find a moment of distortion of the balance between justified imports and lost export potential. The aim of the anti-crisis strategy is to create a huge potential for environmentally friendly products through the introduction of appropriate innovations (based on domestic resources, such as bioethanol from biomass and stubble, biomethanol from solid waste, algae-based projects (from the Black and Azov Seas). The benefits of the strategy will be as follows: 1) dual benefits by reducing dependence on imports and increasing capacity for chemical production projects; 2) stimulating the overall growth of the chemical industry through public-private partnerships; 3) elimination of the current stagnant conditions of the industry caused by the consequences of the pandemic. Proposals to pursue a policy of reasonable protectionism in relation to import substitution for all participants in the domestic market are formulated. At the state level, in order to support the whole sector, it is advisable to adopt a model that emphasizes the use of appropriate fuels / raw materials based on domestic resources to reduce dependence on imports; replace mass imports with exclusive imports of only environmentally friendly and updated foreign innovative chemical technologies; attracting investment from TNC through appropriate government policies. The task of the Government in this situation is to carefully study the situation in each case and make a balanced decision.

Agriculture solves the general tasks of its functioning, which are more focused on the implementation of three areas of activity, which include guaranteed food security in terms of the production of high-quality agricultural products, raw materials and food produced by domestic agricultural producers in volumes corresponding to medical indicators. It is also a decrease in the volume of import substitution of seeds in crop production and breeding material in animal husbandry and poultry farming, as well as imported equipment for the organization of food and processing products, veterinary drugs and other important needs for the agro-industrial complex. And the third direction includes the sustainable development of exports of agricultural and agro-industrial products to the global agri-food market. These tasks cannot be successfully solved in the conditions of using the existing outdated agricultural technologies, machinery and equipment. In order to improve these functions of agriculture, the digital platform "Digital Agriculture" was developed, which is an information database of a fairly large size about the resources of the agro-industrial complex. Digitalization, creating conditions for the development of "smart agriculture", affects the progress in agricultural relations. With the help of new technologies, the work of farmers will gradually move from manual, which requires great physical effort, to automated. With the help of drones and other drones, it will be possible to determine the structure of soils for planting certain crops.

The current situation at the market for food and agricultural raw materials is difficult, and critical for some industries. The processes of import substitution, that is, shaking-out imported products from the markets and the growth of domestic production, have significant differences for segments of the food market. There was a significant differentiation of food markets in the following main indicators: the growth rate of domestic production, the share of imports in resources, the share of exports in production, and the amount of state support. However, 2020 showed that the course taken by the Government and the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation for import substitution was not fully implemented, and a large share of products is imported from third countries that were not included in the sanctions list. Economic and mathematical modeling can partially solve this problem. Analysis of scientific literature on modeling the equilibrium at agri-food markets showed the absence of any actual domestic development. The most famous foreign conceptual models dated back to 1990-2000. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank have developed such general and private equilibrium models as RUNS (Rural-Urban North South), MRT (Regional Trade MRT, Harrison), AGLINK COSIMO, etc. These recursive-dynamic models make it possible to determine the equilibrium parameters for the main types of products for almost all countries of the world, including the Russian Federation and all agricultural markets. However, the introduction of sanctions has stopped work in this direction.

The article examines the essence of foreign economic activity of enterprises, the features and prospects of its implementation in the field of agrarian and industrial complex. Based on the conducted analysis, it is proved that agrarian export of Ukraine plays a significant role in the formation of the budget and GDP of the country, since its share in 2018 was 14.2% of GDP and 33.4% of the total national exports of goods. The dynamics of export-import operations of the agrarian sector is explored and it is found that it demonstrates a positive trend in contrast to the general foreign trade balance of Ukraine. The analysis of the agrarian exports structure in 2010-2019 confirms the growth of the share of the majority of agrarian products types sold abroad. However, Ukrainian exports are mainly oriented towards raw materials, which, among other reasons, is associated with technological backwardness and the limited ability of domestic agricultural producers to purchase modern equipment and technologies due to theirs low solvency. The commodity orientation of Ukrainian exports makes the competitive position of Ukraine in foreign markets vulnerable, since the demand for commodities is unstable and is characterized by significant price volatility. The geographical structure of foreign trade in agrarian products and the possibilities of its further diversification are investigated. The majority of Ukrainian products in Europe are purchased in Poland, Italy and Germany. Significant connoisseurs of Ukrainian products are also Turkey, China, India, Egypt. Ukrainian exports should be expanded to Asian and Eastern countries. The key problems that put the brakes on the development of the foreign economic activity of the enterprises of agrarian and industrial complex and hinder the competitiveness increase of domestic agrarian products in the international market are identified. A number of measures are proposed to promote the further development of the foreign economic activity of the enterprises of agrarian and industrial complex, including the development of appropriate strategies taking into account global market trends, harmonization and compliance with the quality and safety standards of agrarian products, improving the innovative component, strengthening state support (including financial) of the export-oriented agrarian enterprises, improving the investment climate, and more.

An increase the efficiency of agricultural production is the most important economic issue at the present stage. However, according to the authors’ opinion, the sharpness of the problem for a long time is underestimated and continues to be underestimated in the agrarian policy of the country. The consequences of such attitude to the problems of agricultural development particularly had a negative impact on the results of the agricultural producers in 1991-1998 years, when investment in agriculture was sharply reduced, the production potential of the sector has been undermined. The agricultural production fell by 50%, compared to the pre-reform period, 88% of agricultural organizations were unprofitable. During 1999 - 2013 years, the government of the country, scientists carried out considerable work to ensure the effective development of agriculture. But, nevertheless, in 2013, the level of agricultural production was by 10.3% lower, than in the pre-reform 1990 year, the financials continue to worsen. According to the authors, so that to ensure the conditions for agricultural producers for effective functioning, expanded reproduction, it requires substantially to increase the level of state support to agriculture, to improve the economic mechanism of management, to develop management forms manifolds, under which we mean a rational, mutually reinforcing combination of different forms of management, based on different forms of ownership, ensuring the efficient use of available natural, labour, material and financial resources. In the paper the author’s definition of management forms is given. The development of forms of management and ownership in the agricultural sector should be seen as a continuous process. The composition and structure of the management forms in the agrarian sector will be updated with the development of market relations, economic conditions change.

Agriculture is one of the high-risk sectors of the agro-industrial complex, which operates under the influence of internal and external risks. The results of the activities of agricultural producers are directly related not only to the amount and quality of labor, the level of technology and technology used, but also to the objective high risk conditions for agricultural production. Risk research remains one of the most important modern areas of economic research. Risk studies play an important role in predicting economic development and making optimal decisions. Achieving sustainable agricultural production requires research in industry risks. It is necessary to establish a system of organizational and economic measures to reduce the negative impact of risk factors on the production and financial results of agricultural enterprises

According to the results of 2020, in the rating of the subjects of the Russian Federation for the production of gross agricultural output, the Republic of Bashkortostan came in 6th place and 2nd in the Volga Federal District. The long-term leadership of the republic in terms of the development of the agro-industrial complex is largely explained by the presence of large areas of agricultural land (more than 7.2 million hectares), sufficient labor resources and relatively favorable soil and climatic conditions for the development of many branches of agriculture. However, in the XXI century, without the introduction of agro-innovations and the development of high-tech agriculture, processing industry, an effective system for the sale of manufactured products, it is becoming increasingly problematic to ensure the long-term competitiveness of the agro-industrial complex of the region both at the All-Russian and global levels. Current trends in the development of agribusiness in the world and in our country clearly show the priority of using the latest achievements of scientific and technological progress and significant investments in new agricultural technologies at the regional level in order to ensure high quality products and compete with domestic and foreign companies. Within the framework of this study, the need to improve the interaction of agribusiness with the scientific and educational sphere and the formation of the regional innovation infrastructure of the agro-industrial complex in the Republic of Bashkortostan with the coordinating role of the Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan is actualized. The authors conducted a comprehensive analysis of the key problems in the creation of a regional agro-industrial scientific and production cluster in the Republic of Bashkortostan and outlined priorities in its development.
