The Market of Energy Capacities: Development and Recent Economic Opportunities

Abstract

The main objective of the study was to assess the market of energy capacities for the development of crop production in Russia. As a result of the study, the dynamics of updating the fleet of agricultural machinery is assessed. Based on a detailed analysis of the intensity of production of energy carriers for crop production in Russia, as well as mechanisms of state support for agricultural engineering, recommendations are given on the formation of import substitution conditions in the markets of self-propelled vehicles in the country. We concluded that the production of crop production, due to its technological specificity, is energy-intensive, from the point of view of the need to provide energy capacities. Self-propelled machinery (self-propelled harvesting equipment - combines, tractors of various draft classes, and other self-propelled machinery for technological operations) form energy capacities in crop production. Based on the analysis, the article shows the availability of energy capacities of agricultural producers, the share of imported equipment as an element affecting food security, offers on the development of the agricultural machinery market in the context of the implementation of the import substitution policy
