ASSESSMENT OF GRAIN PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY IN UNSTABLE CONDITIONS

Abstract

The article specifies the theoretical and methodological aspects of assessing the efficiency of grain production, and also analyzes the relevant statistical indicators characterizing the results of the functioning of the national grain subcomplex in the conditions of instability. Grain production is of paramount importance for the socio-economic system of the Russian Federation, as it serves as a fundamental basis for solving problems in the field of ensuring food security and is a relevant component of the country's export potential. Increasing the efficiency of grain production contributes to the growth of export potential, which has a positive effect on the growth of Russia's geopolitical status in the world food market. The food industry and a number of other related industries operate on the basis of domestic grain production, which make a tangible contribution to solving problems of ensuring food security. Grain production, taking into account the natural and climatic conditions of the country, occupies a key place in agriculture, which is the most important branch of the national economy. The defining feature of grain production is its high dependence on natural, climatic and biological factors. The use of advanced technologies can reduce the negative impact of these factors and reduce the risks of falling yields, but it is impossible to completely eliminate their influence. In this regard, the construction of an effective mechanism for the functioning of grain production, which requires active state participation, taking into account the specifics of industry business processes and the current situation on world food markets, is of great importance. In the study, the author substantiates the multi-vector relevance of achieving high indicators of grain production efficiency, examines the main factors of grain production efficiency, analyzes the dynamics and structure of grain production by farm categories, and assesses the dynamics of grain and leguminous crop yields.
