Under modern conditions of functioning of the agrarian
sector of Russian economy, which are described
with the need to increase the output of the agricultural
production in order to ensure import substitution and
food safety, it is necessary to analyze the state of the
agricultural economy of the regions of the country and
the prospects of its development on the innovative
basis. To solve the problems faced by the Kuban
farmers the comprehensive long-term anti-crisis program
of the sustainable development of the agrarian
sector of the economy of the region is being developed.
It is revealed that the high potential of the increasing
output and the economic efficiency growth in
the industry is built into the production concentration
and the formation of large agricultural holding companies,
where agricultural production, processing and
sales of products are combined. The necessity of the
creation of the "Special program of small agribusiness
development" is mentioned. Relying on foreign experience
and the experience of the unique enterprise
"Konitek-South" Ltd., involved in the purchase of the
agricultural products from farmers and the public, and
selling it in dozens of Russian regions, the authors
propose the optimal variant of the wholesale markets
organization. The need to strengthen the government
role in the further development and reforming of the
agrarian sector of the economy, in the regulation of the
agricultural wholesale markets and in the small business
development, in the improvement of its competitiveness
and investment attractiveness is emphasized
Current horticulture is a complex system of fruit crops
cultivation based on the integrated using of material,
labor, natural and financial resources. Horticulture is
an important part of agriculture because of the high
nutritional value of its products. The fruits are used
fresh and as raw material for canning, wine and other
industries. Modern methods of processing and freezing
of products are making possible to save its nutritional
value and extend the period of consumption. The main
problem of the horticultural industry is providing the
population with fresh, high quality fruits and products
of their processing. Horticulture is in a state of dynamic
changes associated with the economic situation in
the region. The authors assessed the current status of
horticulture in the Republic of Tajikistan, revealed the
problems in the functioning of the industry in the current
economic conditions. As a result of scientific investigation
the authors have proved the impact of the
financial-credit, tax, price factors, level of competition,
investment policy. The authors identified promising
directions of improving the efficiency of horticulture
and found the advantages of intensive technology
of fruit crops cultivation. The implementation of these
arrangements will help to ensure the country's food
security and agricultural development
The article examines the characteristics and the efficiency
of modern organizational and economic mechanisms
of the spread of high-tech technologies and products of
double application, identifying the most promising areas
of improvement and progressive development, is determined
by their role in attracting additional funding for
national and international innovative projects and programs
Information of the world and national economies
significantly alter the role and importance of expertise
in enterprise activity. Expert evaluation of the quality
of modern innovative software products is playing an
increasingly important role in the justification of
management decisions with their use. That is why the
expert function is one of the most important and
recognized not only in science but also in the practical
production and business operations of many
businesses. The article shows the possibility of
adapting method unit testing as a tool for peer
evaluation of the quality level of the development of
innovative software products. The article covers
application of criteria for coverage decisions and
conditions, as well as a criterion of combinatorial
coverage for the most complete set of tests and
accurate expert assessments. The substantiation of the
existence and validity of the use of the method of unit
testing capabilities for expert assessments of
innovative software products was also given. We have described the sequence of process of peer review for
incremental (step by step), and non-incremental
approach to testing of modern innovative software
products, as well as identifying their strengths and
weaknesses. It is concluded that the incremental
approach is preferable to use the method of unit testing
for the expert assessments of projects and programs for
the creation of innovative products, services and
technologies
In modern conditions, housing and communal services,
on the one hand, the urgent need of carrying out a
comprehensive mo-modernization of the entire infrastructure,
and on the other hand, with the intensification
of the implementation of innovations manufacturing
techniques, it can be one of the points of sustainable
growth and development of domestic economic.
These circumstances determine the relevance scope of
this article. The article identifies the main control

as the composition of the institutional agents carrying
out its operation. It was found that the current management
practice does not meet the requirements of the
market and fundamentally change the conditions of financial
and economic activities of its institutional
agents, and the results of ongoing reforms in this area cannot be considered satisfactory. We defined targets
development of innovative potential of housing and
communal services, and its compliance with the investment
activity of its institutional agents. We revealed
the most significant changes, which should be
based on the innovative vector of development of this
sphere. We substantiated composition of quantitative
and qualitative indicators of the system for conformity
assessment of the innovative capacity of the sphere of
housing and communal services of the investment activity
of its institutional agents. The article substantiates
the need to develop science-based concept of innovative
development and comprehensive modernization
of the infrastructure of housing and communal
services and the feasibility of pilot innovative projects.
It is concluded that the successful implementation of
pilot innovative projects can become the starting point
for turning the sphere of housing-communal services,
but one of the stable points of growth of the domestic
economy

The article is devoted to solving such a topical issue as a
stimulating of rural territories and commodity production
development in the small forms of management in
Krasnodar region. The work states, that despite the
existence of the different forms of the state support
programs for native farmers, any significant positive
shifts in development of rural areas, standard of living of
the rural population are still not observed. The basis of
the author offers is the rationale for a series of
institutional reforms, namely a review of the nature and
forms of cooperation between regional and local
authorities with small forms of management. An
expediency of the formation of the municipal consumer
cooperatives based on municipal and mixed ownership
was also explained. As a basis for the arguments, the
authors have used the ideas of the founder of
institutionalism Thorsten Veblen. He wrote in his works,
that evolution is accompanied by institutional changes
by selecting and consolidation of the forms of behavior
which are most conducive to the survival and prosperity
of the entire community , and social evolution is nothing
else than a process of selection and adaptation of the
ways of thinking under the influence of the
circumstances of people living together. Adaptation of
the ways of thinking is the development of the institutes.
These provisions reflect the expediency of forming of
additional and relevant institutions, contributing to
improve the quality of regional management of rural territories development
The article is dedicated to solving such an important
state task as improving the employment rate level of
people with disabilities in the Krasnodar region. The
promising areas of governmental support of
employable disabled people at the regional level were
reflected in the article, and the socio-economic
significance of proposals, presented by the author, was
considered. As an object of this study, the modern
conditions of functioning and factors, influencing the
activity of employable disabled people were
considered. The subject of study is a set of
organizational and economic relations, which
characterize a governmental support of disabled
people in the Krasnodar region. Nowadays the federal
and regional targeted programs for social integration
of the persons with disabilities and for their support at
the labor market of Russian Federation are being
worked out, rehabilitation and professional
development centers are being created. The more
attention is being paid to the issues of disabled
people's social rehabilitation and their involvement of
labor at the different levels of authorities, which
determines the relevance of the research topic. A
number of provisions in the article, such as a rationale
of the extra forms of disabled people's governmental

The study does a comprehensive analysis of the milk
market in Russia and Krasnodar territory under conditions
of a food embargo; defines the influence of the
food embargo on the possibility of import substitution
of milk and dairy products , and does an assessment
of factors affecting the increase in the efficiency and
competitiveness of the dairy sector, including the
quality characteristics of the products, the possibilities
of using natural milk substitutes, the environmental
safety of raw milk. The study gives the estimation of
milk self-sufficiency in Russia and identifies the opportunities
to compensate for the missing volume.
There has been done a comparative analysis of the
subjects of the Russian Federation in terms of development
indexes in the industry of dairy cattle breeding
in the agricultural organizations, which found competitive
advantages of Leningrad Region in milk yield
per cow and Vologda region in feed conversion.
The study reveals poorly equipped genetic testing laboratories
and animal breeding quality control of milk
in most regions of the Russian Federation . It states
that the economic crisis in Russia has caused acceleration
of inflation and a rise in prices for milk and dairy
products in the consumer market; the purchasing power
of incomes of the population (commercial equivalent
- drinking milk) has declined. In order to develop
the milk market and the implementation of policies of
import substitution it is necessary to improve the system
of state regulation of the agrarian sector, including
the creation of favorable conditions for the development
of public-private partnership, ensuring the
availability of credit resources, the adaptation of the
regulatory framework governing the market relations
in the agrarian sector, support for high-performance
production sites, as well as the implementation of the
policy of agricultural protectionism.
The article reviews financial and other criteria indicators,
related to the production of small agricultural
farms. Our law establishes that the annual turnover
for micro-entity shall not exceed the amount of 60
million rubles, or USD 755.6 thousands at the current
exchange rate (which at 20.01.2016 is 79.41
rubles/USD). For the category of small businesses,
the ceiling of the cash proceeds must be in the range
of 60 to 400 million rubles (in dollar terms from
USD 0.756 to USD 5.037 million). Respectively for
the medium enterprises criteria, revenue must be
from 400 million to 1 billion rubles, or USD 5.037
and USD 12.259 million). The size of the business
over 1 billion rubles should be classified as Large
Businesses. According to the Federal law No. 209
financial data levels must be adjusted after five years
of operations. All commercial organizations with less
than 15 employees/ (inclusive) are classified as Micro
Enterprises, and with 16 to 100 employees – to
the category Small Enterprises. /Accordingly, medium-sized
enterprises are organizations with 101 to
250 employees. Today, it is noted that in World’s
practice, the criterion for the classification of enterprises
to the relevant category is defined not by generated
financial flows and assets of the enterprise,
but by simple employ. In our practice, simultaneous
consideration of the number of employees, annual
receipts, number of livestock, and area of agricultural
land make it possible to analyze dynamics of productivity
using small agricultural farms, management
decisions on investment expediency of innovations,
improvement of production technologies, and infrastructure
of product realization
