Small agrarian and personal peasant farms present an
important segment of agricultural production along
with other subjects. Their role is becoming more
prominent with the increasing of their own production
potential. Nevertheless, their resource base remains
very weak, the basic means of production are
worn out, and many of them are unable to improve
technical equipment. In this segment, leasing options
are limited, there are problems in logistics management,
and small entities do not have market power in
the market of production resources and in products
marketing. The lack of collateral generates high cost
lending and permanent bankruptcy. On the other
hand, it is noted that small entities have a large diversity
of organizational and legal forms, an informal
control system high interchangeability of production
functions, they combine the status of the owner and
the manager. They significantly reduce the social
tension in rural areas; they play a significant role in
import substitution. Characteristic features of small
agricultural farms (SAF) are high autonomy, independence,
self-protection from environmental factors.
They spend little money on creating jobs, have
low fixed costs and independently overcome the difficulties.
However, an underdeveloped industrial
infrastructure of small business hinders the improvement
of the technological level. They work
with constant external interference, which reduces
their production efficiency and market competitiveness.
All of them highly depend on local production
conditions, capacity of territorial markets. Low level
of cooperation of participants SAF significantly limits
the number of sales channels, increases the volatility
realization. The analysis showed a high need for realization of the revealed reserves of efficiency
growth
The meaning of the definition of "import substitution" is clarified, import and export item features of the national economy are discussed, special attention is paid to the possibilities of expanding domestic and international markets by enhancing the competitiveness of industrial economies, the development of production with a large number of processing and high added value, increasing the traditional segment of high-tech products. It is noted that modern export orientation expands not only the market share of domestic products on foreign markets, but also significantly improves the competitive position of producing organizations in the domestic market. Potential geographical areas and countries-consumers of products of domestic production enterprises are highlighted. The article emphasizes the advantages to be gained from a substitution in the short to medium term with moderate protectionism by the state. The problems and possibilities of import substitution in agriculture and also the impact of past crisis, devaluation of the ruble on the processes of import substitution and export orientation, the role of the implementation process of import substitution in the security of the country are discussed. We offer solutions which will contribute to more successful implementation of the strategy of import substitution in manufacturing industries of agriculture; we have also made prognoses about short, medium and long term positive and negative predictive effects of import substitution and export orientation using retrospective of development of these processes
Practice shows that the level of development of small
agricultural farms is an important indicator of favorability
of the conditions created by government for
development of production and rural territories.
Conversely, the degree of development of rural areas
has an impact on the development of small agricultural
entities. It is necessary to increase the independence,
motivation, municipal authorities in socioeconomic
development of given territories. However,
today, there is a relative decrease in the level of support
for small businesses. Since 2007, the Support of
agriculture in our region has grown almost by three
times, but small agrarian business grew only by
34.3%, that is, in fact, observed as a negative trend,
when adjusted for inflation. Without a system of
state support of small business it is problematic to
conduct a correct reproduction of the herd and to
increase the volume of industry’s output. Such situation
results in: lower rural incomes, especially in
private subsidiary farms; the number of jobs, increase
of unemployment, social tension in society,
and a negative effect on the regional economy. It is
necessary to improve the economic mechanism of
state support of small businesses, to improve the
conditions of lending and investments, to create conditions
for increasing production of marketable
products and new jobs, to increase rural employment,
to improve the system of cooperation in production,
processing, storage, transportation and sale of products
to small businesses, to improve social infrastructure,
to improve the quality of rural life. The authors
have developed and offered corrective suggestions
for implementation of the regional target program of
development of small forms of businesses for 2016-
2020 with the definition of deadlines and funding, by blocks of the organization of competitive production,
support for family farms, system of agricultural
cooperation, and marketing of commercial products
It is said, that small agrarian economy takes an important
place in the market economy, creates new
jobs, new sources of income in excessing labor resources
of the rural sector .The transformational
stages of small business development, motivation of
starting up cooperation, conditions of formation of
mixed economy is discussed. The development of
diverse economic forms is considered here. The main
ones are: small agricultural farms with low technical
and energy equipment of labor, low level of mechanization
and high level of manual labor. Small agricultural
businesses were developed in the provision
of production services in agriculture; the production
of small agricultural forms of management that are
embedded in a complex system of relations between
technological specialization with medium and large
businesses; small farms, which are independently or
in cooperation aimed at commercial implementation,
development and realization of innovations. It is
shown that today's best practices in support of small
business implement a number of avenues to reduce
tax contributions to the pension funds of entities that
use high technology; the use of tax holidays on property;
the abolition of tax on profits of small industries,
obtained through the sale of paper funds and
other assets; the extension of preferential privatization
rented small industries of real estate, with exemption
from payment of tax on value added; the
provision of annual financial aid packages to small
businesses; the transfer to the budgets of the municipalities
collected payment for the sale of patents
from small entrepreneurial activity and other areas of
support. The necessity of improving the economic
instruments, replacement of the existing inefficient structure of domestic small entities, a greater motivation
in creating new jobs, raising the living level of
participants of subjects of small forms of managing
The goals of import substitution, import data and export resource features of the agrarian economy, through which you can generate significant competitive advantage are discussed. It is noted that the flight of the capital abroad creates jobs not for our economy, but for our competitors, that low interest rates on loans create obvious unequal starting opportunities throughout the domestic business. As a result the cost of imported food in value-chain terms reached in our country an enormous rate of $45 billion and that government realized the need of strengthening of food security, transferring of production of traditional kinds of products which form the basis of consumption of the population in our country, to the domestic market. It is noted that we need temporary moderate state protectionism and protection of the domestic market with the aim of modernizing the economy, attracting investors in the important field of production with high risks. The main problems and solutions that will help to further successful implementation of this strategy in the sectors of our economy are highlighted. It is proposed to establish a network of specialized information centers to support import substitution with a database of technological profiles of organizations. The author block diagram of the information support and import substitution is given. The importance of federal and regional programs functioning in the import substitution is noted. The author's plan for their implementation is given . Predictive modeling of short-term, medium-term and long-term positive and negative consequences of import substitution and export orientation are implemented. The authors stress that the substitution should be seen as a transition to export orientation of the agricultural economy.
The features of the process of functioning, development
and regulation of agricultural growth of small
agrarian farming forms (SAFF) with the participation
of the state are discussed. It is noted that systematization
of features of small agricultural farms plays a
big role in the increasing of economic efficiency and
state regulation. It is said that in certain circumstances,
the same features can have both positive and negative,
problematic impact, so the authors conducted
their separate classification. They consider a great
influence of SAFF on local development, rural employment,
tax and social preferences, opportunities
of cooperation, low costs and risks to create new
jobs, informal management, combining the functions
of manager and owner in one person, a high sensitivity
to government regulation, protection of the population
from the local monopoly of employers, selfdevelopment,
responsibility, self-defense from external
factors, and others to be positive. But SAFF
work in the environment of perfect competition in
the absence of market power, low, often only declared
security, an underdeveloped industrial infrastructure
of small farms, a high probability of unauthorized
interference from shadow entities, supervisory
bodies, local bureaucracy, institutional limitations
in the access to information, counseling material
and financial resources, low mobility, small size of
economy, high dependence on local conditions, capacity
of local raw material and consumer market,
limited distribution channels, permanent market volatility,
distrust of the practice of production and consumer
cooperatives, the scarcity of capital, problematic
accessibility to financial instruments, the high
cost of credit, low legitimacy, the credibility of the
decisions of the local bureaucracy is considered to be negative
Theoretical, transformational and practical provisions for the development and regulation of small businesses and farms in the country's economy and agriculture are being cleared up. In the process of studying the problem we used logical reasoning, methods of comparing, and monographic, economic and statistical methods also. It is shown that small farming forms (SFF) in agriculture are essential for progressive development of agriculture, which is now recognized as a growth point of import substitution in all national economy. Given the author's interpretation of the category definition "small farming form" in agriculture differs from other definitions, in a more complete evaluation and statistics, provisions regarding private cottages and households as the SFF, their locality of functioning, independence in taking risks, increased adaptation, economic and legal binding, spectrum of production. The article shows the history of definitions of small business and small farming forms, stages of small business development, the scope of its practice abroad and in our country. It is said that a leading role in the formation of small farms belonged to households, which are still playing a leading role in production of agricultural products for their own consumption (without selling on the market). It is noted that at the present stage of industrial transformation of small businesses and small farms they often have a low mechanization level, high cost structure of manual labor. They have problems in adapting to the sector of services, in embedding into a complex system of relationships with medium and large business on the basis of technological specialization and also promoting innovation. It is emphasized that today the growing role of small businesses, small farms makes it more pragmatic to assess the prospects of development of this sector in our country
It is being said, that with a large number of studies on
the functioning and regulation of the growth of small
agricultural farms there is remaining a number of problematic
provisions research on conceptual framework
of small management, forecasting, process optimization,
management decision making, and innovative
development of small agricultural farms. It is noted,
that in processes of support and regulation of small
farms today it is invested more and more of the state
budget. Their use is closely tied to the definition of
"small farms", the correct assignment of entities for
this field. In this regard, the authors offer a definition
of small agricultural businesses, which differs from the
widely used in scientific and industrial practice the
definition of small farms by greater brevity, and referencing
to these entities all small agricultural producers,
including domestic urban economy. Among the features
of small agricultural entities, the authors emphasize:
the independence, poly productive model orientation,
low development and applicability of management
techniques, economic knowledge, culture of
market relations, information, consulting services, and
general infrastructure of production. Strengths of small
entities include small initial capital to "uplift business",
high autonomy, flexibility, process management,
high efficiency, low fixed costs, and possibilities
of effective mobilization of material and financial resources.
It is also proposed to enhance the development
of relationships for IV sphere of agricultural sector:
consulting, research, educational, financial, informational,
and other services to improve the efficiency
of functioning of small agricultural farms
The article deals with problems and possibilities in agriculture import substitution conditions and considers the significant role of small agrarian forms in this economy processes. The article notes that the main aim of import substitution is improving the competitiveness of domestic agricultural products through greater motivation of technological, modernization and innovation policy in production, through the development of new innovative, more competitive food products with higher consumer parameters. Practice shows that the most effective substitution is carried out in the agricultural sector and the food industry. The Krasnodar region has the most efficient developed agriculture production structure with the best natural and investment climate in the country, with enlarged of crop rotation fields, excessive and relatively low labor cost with the best experience in agricultural production. The author discusses about the detail problems of import substitution with participation of small businesses in the areas of grain production, sugar beet, about the difficulties in material and technical equipment, provision of seed and other problems. The problems of the financial component in large and small businesses specifically mentions, also in the field of cost management processing, pricing, formation of gross profit. The article emphasizes the importance of recovering the lost possibilities of breeding in animal husbandry, especially in pig and cattle. The most difficult situation is with lending, where the author recommends the reduction of rates for farmers in the short and medium term lending to the level of 3-5%. The author considers a changes in the mechanism of redistribution of public support in favor of livestock very important, where there are large risks, difficulties of long-term credits, problems of technological discipline observance and more
The article says that small agricultural farms (SAF)
play a significant role in import substitution of food,
which is aimed at replacing imported agricultural
commodities and finished products to domestic security.
SAF subjects of Krasnodar region made a significant
contribution to the increase of efficiency of
regional economy. The share of small agricultural
farms is 29% of regional production of grain and
meat, 36% of milk, 47% of egg, 10% of sugar beet,
30% of sunflower and 95% of potatoes, 70% of vegetables,
and 29% of grapes which makes a significant
contribution to the process of import substitution. In
addition, the SAF showed a large positive impact on
the sustainability of farming, the development dynamics
of the entire rural economy, increase the
competitiveness of the whole field due to the increase
in segment sales, improving market sales in
the infrastructure. Today SAF perform a priority
vector of development of regional agrarian policy.
However, when the share of regional agricultural
production segment is more than 35%, a small management
gets only 10% of the sum of all sources of
state support. In recent years, stimulation
measures of subjects of small agrarian farms aimed
at increasing the size of the land, the abolition of the
standards concerning the number of animals, improving
lending conditions, facilitating the starting of
economic conditions, union efforts to organize sales
channels and other programs. However, the situation
with crediting SAF is improving too slowly due to
lack of sufficient collateral, and only a small part of
them can use loans. Besides, the bureaucratic and
departmental barriers are still saved. They still face
trade discrimination in the retail markets and great
difficulties due to the new requirements of the construction markets, the endowment channels marketing
of products etc. All this dictates the need for further
improvement of the economic mechanism of
regulation of small agricultural development
