Land resources are the basis of agricultural production, the issue of increasing the efficiency of their use is always relevant. The purpose of this article is to estimate the economic use of land resources in the agricultural organizations of the Krasnodar region. Cost-effectiveness analysis was carried out in two stages: an initial set of agricultural organizations with the help of cluster analysis is divided into homogeneous groups; for each cluster we have constructed a production function, which reflects the relationship between the value of the gross output of the agricultural land area, the average annual number of employees, the average annual value of fixed and current assets. The analysis has allowed identifying homogeneous groups of five agricultural companies. The analysis of the production function has shown that the companies of the first cluster of agricultural land use lands with maximum efficiency, the gross output value of 1 hectare of agricultural land was 70,1 thousand rubles, and the degree of influence of agricultural land on the value of gross output reaches its maximum value and is 83%. Agricultural organizations included in clusters of three and five, have a minimum efficiency of agricultural lands use – 20,3 and 21,2 thousand rubles respectively. Based on the analysis, we have made recommendations that improve the efficiency of land: to use the best varieties that are resistant to a range of diseases and pests in the production; to observe the optimum time of harvesting, cultivation and protection of plants; to use smart energy and resource saving technologies, as well as soil conservation technologies; to improve and maintain soil fertility

In a competitive environment an effective measure of successful business management is diversification. This article discusses issues related to the expansion of the production activity of JSC "Slavprom" in the Slavic area. JSC "Slavprom" is a modern Vineyard and winery with a processing capacity of 6,500 tons of grapes per year. In the production activity of JSC "Slavprom" there is a number of problems: the low profitability of production; high levels of debt capital; insecurity own wine materials. As a way out of the crisis, the article examines the issues related to the expansion of industrial activity - the introduction of the production line of children's grape juice. This event will provide annually about 119.4 thousand. Liters of juice, and the five-year period - 597.0 thousand. L. Economic valuation of the project shows that the project is economically and socially effective, profitability is on average 23.3%. Discounted payback period at a discount rate of 14% is 20 months. Implementation of this project contributes entering new markets for JSC "Slavprom" with high quality and highly liquid products at an affordable price, replenishment at all levels and creating new vacancies

The article discusses approaches to differentiation of agricultural enterprises of the Krasnodar region on the production potential. As the object of study we have selected 640 agricultural enterprises of the Krasnodar region for 2013. Cluster analysis allows visually differentiate organizations in economic parameters. The advantage of this approach is evident when analyzed a large number of organizations and performance. It is preferred that clustering is made using hierarchical cluster analysis and k-means. The results of clustering agribusiness enterprises of the Krasnodar region on the main economic indicators were given. During the analysis, we revealed that the AIC enterprises of the Krasnodar region generally form five clusters. Cluster 1 is characterized by a very high level of development of the productive capacity of agribusiness enterprises, consists of 12 organizations and is defined as "extra large" organization. 2nd cluster is characterized as "large", it includes 25 agricultural enterprises. 3rd and 4th clusters - as "average", they account for 60% of the acreage, 52.6% of fixed assets for agricultural purposes. 5th cluster is represented as "small", is a leader in the number of organizations - 371 units and contains a minimum number of employees - 30 people. It is assumed that these approaches can be used for analysis of agricultural organizations of the Krasnodar region with different levels of specialization and in other studies

Grain production is a major sector of agriculture. The article discusses the factors that influence the development of grain production in the Krasnodar region. These include favorable natural and climatic conditions, the need of the population in crop production, quality of organizational and technical activities and other agricultural enterprises. The current situation in the country is poor economic situation, including the importation of imported food, when agricultural companies require the search of internal reserves to increase production. The performed statistical analysis of the economic-yield crops helped to identify factors affecting the productivity of crops, material and technical base of agriculture, as well as the need to use chemicals used to fertilize soil. The article suggests ways to optimize the impact of economic factors on the yield of grain in the Krasnodar region. Consider the correlation and regression analysis to determine the relationship between the studied parameters and effective sign that clearly shows the evolution of the yield of crops
