ABSTRACT: Kazakhstan is located in the hinterland of Central Asia. Its virtuous geographical advantages and huge grain production potential make it one of the most important grain exporters in the world. The research on the problem of the grain trade in Kazakhstan is of great significance for food security. This study measured its international competitiveness using the International Market Share Index, the Revealed Comparative Advantage Index, Trade competitiveness index and calculated the international competitiveness and analyzed the influencing factors of grain export by constructing an extended gravity model and measured its export potential. Results showed that Kazakhstan has a low share of the international grain market; however, wheat, barley, and buckwheat have strong export advantages; the level of economic development and economic distance has significantly promoted the scale of grain exports. While geographical distance, the difference in GDP per capita, and the fact whether trading partner countries have joined the Eurasian Economic Union have caused obstacles to grain exports. Kazakhstan’s export potential to 6 countries including Russia, Kyrgyzstan and China shows an upward” trend, its export potential to 6 countries including Tajikistan and Ukraine showing a “stable” trend, and its export to 9 countries included Poland and Germany. The potential showed a “declining” trend.

Based on the 2010-2019 United Nations commodity trade data, this paper has calculated the regional revealed comparative advantage index, export similarity index, trade complementarity index and intra-industry trade index of trade between Uzbekistan and the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. This paper analyses the competitiveness and complementarity of trade between Uzbekistan and the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. Uzbekistan and the Eurasian Economic Union member countries have a high degree of similarity in the export of commodities. There is a certain degree of competitiveness in commodities exported to the same market. However, there are differences in the structure of commodity trade among member states. Uzbekistan’s trade complementarity with the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union is distributed in food and live animals (SITC0), mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials (SITC3), manufactured goods classified chiefly by material (SITC6), commodities and transactions not classified elsewhere in the SITC (SITC9). Uzbekistan has strong trade complementarity with Armenia, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan, but weak trade complementarity with Russia and Kazakhstan.

The article gives the detailed analysis of the levels and structure of state support of countries of Eurasian Economic Union on the basis of official notifications of the volumes of state support for agriculture in 2012. It is shown that countries differ significantly in these indicators, which could be a problem when forming a single agricultural market. The analysis revealed the imperfection of methodological approaches in determining the level of state support of agriculture as well as in filling in reporting forms, which leads to ambiguity of the reported data on the size and structure of state support presented by the countries. In particular, the assessment of the level of support of the Republic of Belarus in 2012 could be 19,1% instead of the submitted 8.7% due to the difference in the method used for calculating this index. It is proposed to increase the official involvement of the expert scientific community in monitoring the state support of agriculture.

The authors have made a hypothesis that there are groups of the countries with a similar level of certain factors development (the level of economic development; the amount of harmful emissions in the atmosphere; the electrification level; the stock level of energy resources) for which application of a certain set of strategies within the concept of sustainable energy development is the most typical. To implement this hypothesis in this article the cluster analysis was carried out to allocate groups of the countries with the similar characteristics. The vertically integrated hierarchical structure of strategies was constructed. And the most typical strategies of sustainable energy development for 149 countries were revealed. By means of the discriminant analysis the most characteristic strategies of sustainable energy development for each cluster were defined. According to the research, for the EEU countries the most typical strategy in the power industry is use of RES. The analysis of renewable energy development in the EEU countries in 2000-2015 was carried out and the barriers and prospects of its further application in these countries were revealed.

The article analyzes the history of development and current state of relations between Iran and Armenia in the field of economics. It is shown that those relations developed progressively after the declaration of independence by Armenia and up to the present time. Despite the difference in religion, Iran and Armenia actively interact in the political and especially in the economic sphere, where the energy and transport cooperation are developing most dynamically. Over 5 thou- sand companies with Iranian capital are actively working in Armenia. Nevertheless, the potential of bilateral relations remains largely unrealized particularly due to the lack of the necessary infrastructure, weak cooperation in the banking sector and in- sufficient investment activity. Parties expected a sharp intensification of economic ties after the deepening of Iran’s integration with the Eurasian Economic Union, especially, after the entry into force of the Free Trade Agreement. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, bilateral trade has dropped markedly. After the recent decision of the Armenian leadership to temporarily ban the import of goods from Turkey due to dissatisfaction with its position in the Karabakh conflict, a sharp increase in trade between the two countries is expected in the near future.

The progressive development of the economy of each country in the context of globalization is to a large extent determined by its foreign trade activities. Individual entrepreneurship of the Kyrgyz Republic was the locomotive for the development of trade cooperation with many countries of the far abroad, among which Turkey is one of the leaders. Sources of research: statistical data. The main methods of cognition: analysis, synthesis, logical sequence. Key findings: The participation of the Kyrgyz Republic in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) contributed to the revival of trade relations of the Kyrgyzstan with the EAEU members and other countries. The structure of foreign trade has improved: leading export growth compared to import growth. The pace of development of foreign trade relations shows that the participation of Kyrgyzstan in the EAEU is not a deterrent to its integration into the world trade community. The production orientation of imports from Turkey and China showed the basis for restoring the production potential of the light industry of Kyrgyzstan. An analysis of official data on foreign trade of Kyrgyzstan and mirror statistics of key partner countries revealed the problem of the presence of inaccuracy in the statistics of foreign trade of Kyrgyzstan and possible budget losses. The principles of building a new relationship between a man and society under the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic will be based on the rationalization of consumption and production. This will be the basis for the restoration and development of foreign trade of the Kyrgyz Republic.


The Customs Code of the Eurasian Economic Union contains a large number of provisions on the procedure for the correct use of customs procedures, including a detailed description of the relevant restrictions. The practice of various courts of the Russian Federation allows us to conclude that there is a significant number of administrative offenses related to non-compliance with customs procedures. In most cases, the objective side is identified in the process of various control measures implemented by the customs authorities and the presence of offenses is not in doubt. But there are more complex cases. A specific situation is considered, on the example of which the causes of such conflicts are highlighted. They are: the unclear provisions on the procedure for declaring goods imported into the customs territory as components of vehicles previously placed under the customs procedure «temporary import», as well as the lack of criteria separating the concepts of «overhaul, modernization» and «maintenance». According to the author, one of the criteria determining the difference between these concepts may be the amount spent in the implementation of manipulations with the goods. For example, if the amount spent on the maintenance of temporarily imported goods exceeds a certain percentage of the value of the goods, such operations should be considered capital repairs. This means that it is mandatory to change the customs procedure by submitting a declaration for the goods to the customs authority. Otherwise, the manipulations performed should be considered maintenance, in which the customs procedure should not be changed.

Today, a regional economic integration is one of the main tendencies in global economic development. The world economic globalization is in the formative stage and most of the countries adhere to protectionism with regards to trade and economic co-operation. In those conditions, the countries opt for regional trade and economic integration. Mongolia is a country, which is not sufficiently enough participating in regional trade and economic integration. In 2016, Mongolia signed only one Economic Partnership Agreement with Japan. According to the trade theory, FTA is most useful to the countries, which have similar level of economic development. In that case, most favorable direction for Mongolia in regional trade and economic integration is the Eurasian Economic Union.

The paper is devoted to the analysis of development prospects and problems of Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) of Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Armenia. It considers integration problems inside EAEU, interactions of EAEU with other CIS countries and with countries from the rest of the world. The paper shows that the major integration challenge inside EAEU is the domination of the redistributive motive over the creative one. It estimates the value of the oil and gas transfer from Russia to other EAEU members and the influence of the Russian tax maneuver on this transfer. The paper shows the need in redistribution mechanism inside EAEU as a necessary condition for getting the potential positive economic effects of free trade with other countries. It also assesses the risks for EAEU due to Russian embargo for food imports from countries of the sanctions list and possible application of tariff in the trade with Ukraine.

The paper appraises current progress in establishing the Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Although the progress has slowed down after the initial rapid advancement, the Union is better viewed not as an exception from the general rules of regional economic integration but rather as one of the functioning customs unions with its successes and stumbling blocs. The paper reviews the state of Eurasian institutions, the establishment of the single market of goods and services, the situation with mutual trade and investment flows among the member states, the ongoing work on the liquidation/unification of non-tariff barriers, the problems of the efficient coordination of macroeconomic policies, progress towards establishing an EAEU network of free trade areas with partners around the world, the state of the common labor market, and the dynamics of public opinion on Eurasian integration in the five member states.
