Development of the Crimean Agriculture

Abstract

This article analyzes the Crimean agriculture to determine the factors for increasing the investment attractiveness of the agricultural region. It will allow building a food policy and determining its investment component, as well as identify the main development problems and develop proposals for measures to increase the level of rural development farms. The aim of the study is to assess the state of the agro-industrial complex of the Crimea, its investment component in building food policy. To achieve this goal, the following tasks solved. ● The economic characteristics of the agricultural sectors of the Crimea given; ● Crop production and animal husbandry analyzed; ● The activities of agricultural organizations analyzed; ● The indicators characterizing the degree of development of agriculture of the Crimea were assessment; ● The problems and prospects for the development of agriculture of the Crimea during the formation of food policy identified. The methods of analysis, synthesis, and graphic method used in this work. Conclusion/Results. Crimean agriculture has tremendous potential, but it is necessary to solve several problems for it development when building food policies. These problems are associated, firstly, with the extensive development of agriculture; secondly, with irrational use of water resources; thirdly, with outdated technologies and techniques; fourthly, poor transport logistics; fifthly, with a high cost of production. To overcome these problems and the successful functioning of agriculture and industrial complex (AIC) in the Crimea, it is necessary to perform the following actions: attract investors; change the structure of agriculture; to develop livestock; to build factories for the processing of agricultural products and to convert agricultural manufacturing. Changes in the structure should be due to large differences in the agricultural potential of each individual region of the Crimea, therefore it is required to develop those areas of agriculture that correspond to the climatic, economic, cultural and historical conditions of each region. The effective use of subsidies and grant-in aid, competent investment management and the intensive formation of the latest enterprises will enable the region to become quickly one of the most successful in the Russian agricultural sector.
