The state of dairy cattle breeding and clustering of municipal entities of the Krasnoyarsk Territory by the level of industry development

Abstract

The concept of sustainable agriculture is one of the directions of the state's national security strategy, which is determined by economic, social, environmental and political factors. Sustainable development of the region directly affects the sustainable development of the state, and sustainable development of the region; in its turn it directly depends on the sustainable development of individual industries, among which dairy cattle breeding is the leading one. The total milk production in Russia as a whole in farms of all categories reached a record high of 31.5 million tons (+2.5% in the country and +2.6% in the Krasnoyarsk Territory). However, the annual milk consumption per capita in 2017 in the Russian Federation was 233 kg, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory it was a little less than this Russian indicator (231 kg, which is 71% lower than 325 kg which is the standard recommended by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation), which indicates a low level of milk self-sufficiency. The level of the country's milk production development is determined by the production state in its regions, which in turn depends on their territorial location, climatic conditions, natural-historical features of the territories, etc. Since a large number of enterprises is involved in milk production in the region, production should be considered in the context of municipal districts, which makes it possible to identify the most promising clusters from the standpoint of the production potential formation of the dairy cattle breeding industry in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
