The main direction of the development of crops in
the current year and the next year, according to the
authors, still remains the further development of the
production. The producers of rice should work to
find new efficient rice varieties, to diversify the
range of finished products, to realize the possibilities
of import-substitution. These data show a rather dynamic
development of the grain production in the
Krasnodar region, indicate sufficient potential development
opportunities of scientific and technological
progress, new technologies and systems of machines
for the production of grain. An important component
of the Russian grain market in the last decade is the
factor of grain export. The weakening of the ruble
has made foreign trade in grain a very profitable
business and in this sector there are new investors
who began selling the products abroad, which caused
a sharp increase in domestic prices, therefore, from 1
July 2015 new restrictive export duties on grain were
introduced. The measure was introduced to increase
the attractiveness of the wheat supply to the domestic
market and for price controls. A significant growth
of exports of wheat flour and wheat-rye (an increase
in supply volume in 6 times and in monetary terms in
9.9 times) should be noted as a positive factor for the
diversification and growth in the number of technological
conversions of the raw materials. Grains today
are exported to over 50 countries; we are in the
top 5 of largest grain exporters. The analysis of imports
of grain shows that the structure of food import
in 2014 was 1,22%, and it was mainly seed corn.
Much of this imported position was implemented in
other regions of our country
The actuality of ecological issues was realized about
50 years ago. The highlight of the ecological
movement to protect the environment has been, in
our estimation, the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development (Rio de Janeiro,
1992), which adopted the concept of sustainable
development. After 1992 the interest in ecology of
broad masses was decreased slightly, although the
environmental problems are not only remained, but
appeared to a greater extent. However, now there is
a legal basis for their decisions. Particularly,
enterprises must have a certified environmental
management system; otherwise they will be unable
to compete in international markets. Awareness by
humanity of need for environmental protection has
led, in particular, to the deployment of scientific
research in the field of ecological safety studies.
Therefore, we have found that it is necessary and
useful to report about the research of our team on
this subject. Ecological security issues are highly
relevant to the energy sector, in particular for gas
enterprises. As an example of the new scientific
results we discuss the innovative approach to the
disposal of drilling waste. The basic idea - the use of
underground non-enveloped tanks in permafrost soil
for disposal of drilling waste. Permafrost is typically
a negative impact on economic development, but in
this situation it is the determining factor for a
positive role, enabling lower costs to ensure
ecological safety and, consequently, improve the
competitiveness of domestic enterprises in the
global gas market. This article is devoted to methods
of dumping drilling waste and the problems that
arise in their burial place. We discuss various
methods of waste disposal, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the impact on the
environment
Nowadays, the economy of the country has taken a
direction towards import substitution in its development.
The development of the domestic information
technology and software is one of the priorities. The
article analyzes the state of the domestic market, development
of geographic information systems developers.
The possibility of import substitution of foreign
software products by spatial data analogues in Russia
is considered. As objects of analysis became programs
such as GeoGraf, InGeo, GeoMixer, ZuluGIS, IndorGIS,
Panorama. As a result of the analysis we revealed
that there are a lot of problems in the way of the full
import substitution of foreign GIS, such as the specialization
of domestic GIS, a weak marketing strategy
for the distribution to market of software products,
crudity of interface. However, the potential of development
of domestic GIS is very large. One of the main
advantages of the Russian information technology in
the processing of spatial data is that developers can
respond more flexibly to changing market conditions
The article shows that when the plans for the creation
and production of modern high-tech innovative
products for different purposes it is necessary to
consider all possible risks and dangers that accompany
modern innovative projects. New approaches to the
planning of the development of science-intensive
industries should ensure that the accounting and the
management of risk situations of the financialeconomic,
scientific-technical and industrialtechnological
character. One of the promising directions
of the domestic output of the industrial complex from
its current unstable state is a strategic planning and
forecasting of its activity, the development strategies
should be based on an evaluation of available enterprise
resources, the lack of which leads to stagnation. With
active government support the company can
successfully implement a strategy of stabilization and
progress through cooperation and diversification of
production and to make a technological breakthrough in
creating high-tech products of new generation
The article proves the need of identification and classification
of the most relevant factors of the sustainable
balanced development of the regional economic
system (RES). Substantial filling of the category "sustainable
balanced development" which is accepted
within the real research is designated. On the basis of
the analysis of the classifications of factors of the sustainable
balanced development of economy of the
region presented in scientific literature their discrepancy
modern is established to conditions of globalization
of the economy causing increase of a role of foreign
economic activity of territorial subjects of the
Russian Federation in ensuring their long-term competitiveness.
Proceeding from the last, within the classification
of factors of the sustainable balanced development
of RES offered by authors the following their
groups are allocated: global, national, regional. For
each of the designated groups we substantiated the set
of relevant factors
In the article, we consider the terms of application of
indicatory models in the process of the innovative
planning of productive companies of the food
industry. The analysis of the indexes of the
investment attractiveness of companies of food
industry is conducted. The indicator of the investment
attractiveness is worked out and approved for the
enterprises of the food industry
The article, based on the concept of operating
leverage, gives the examples of the use of quantitative
measurements of the dependence costs, sales and
profits, and formulated the direction of using the
results in the adoption of short-term management
decisions. We present recommended forms of
management reporting, report on the cash flow,
balance sheet management and management reports on
the financial results, as well as giving some examples
of division of fixed (semi-variable) costs of fixed and
variable parts and bringing them into the form of a
linear function. The article describes several methods
for solving this problem: the method of the highest and
lowest points, linear regression (least squares) and
graphical method
This article deals with the problems and prospects of
development of the digital economy of Sub-Saharan
Africa. The work will examine the relationship
between the development of new information and
communication technologies (ICT) and the formation
of civil society in the region. The stages of
implementation of Internet technologies will be
explored. The development in different countries
according to national circumstances, understand the
basic functions of the new ICT in the development of
civil society and freedom of expression and
development trends in the region will be studied.
Africa itself is not the leader in terms of providing
access to a communication area, only 13% (according
to research by the World Bank), the inhabitants of the
continent using the Internet. But it’s observed in
Africa a high growth of the World Wide Web users in
a relatively short period. Subsaharan Africa is one of
the developing parts of Africa, taking into account the
higher interest of the residents, technology is
developing faster and the communications is the
higher quality, The reason why young people have
access to educational, take part in the dialogue with
people from different countries, learn about the labor
market, are part of a large community of interest, and
in consequence are more critical of what is happening
around. The article gives a definition of "digital
economy" ; the graphs and charts that reflect the level
of ICT development and participation of civil society
in their distribution ; the participation of civil society
in their dissemination ; review: dynamics of
development of the digital economy, dynamics of the
African telecommunications market, mobile market
and all in the region's economy, the incredible pace of
development of Internet technologies, socio-economic
problems and challenges, the emergence of new jobs,
new technology is providing the usual banking
services, the emergence of e-government and its
impact on the quality of customer service, the
appearance of new educational technologies and
resources, prospects of technology development and
society under the influence of these technologies and
more are considered. the data of the World Bank, the
UN, Wireless intelligence, PwC, Internet world stats, UIT, GSMA, eMarketer, CNUCED and others. It is a
question of purely African technologies like M-Peza,
SenGeoSante, Medafrica, Mpedigree, Matibabu and
others are used in the article
In the article, we give the characteristics of the
Russian meat cattle breeding as one of major factors
of efficiency of domestic agriculture. Dynamics of a
livestock of cattle in certain regions, number of
breeding farms, which are engaged in cultivation of
cattle of meat breeds, were presented; we also
revealed a tendency of their increase. Dependence of
shortage of breeding resources of the most
competitive specialized meat breeds and the volume
of import of cattle are revealed. The main problems,
which accompany functioning of the branch of meat
cattle breeding, are defined. The average mass of
carcass of cattle on slaughter is specified in the
different countries of the world. Based on the
calculations, the conclusions are drawn and the
forecasts for domestic agricultural producers
proceeding from the developed market dynamics are
defined. Reference points of the state support of
branch for which solution of problems the Ministry
of Agriculture developed the State program of
measures of the state support of development of meat
cattle breeding which has to provide a gain of a
livestock of meat breeds by 2020 are specified.
Considering prospects and possible risks of
development of domestic subsector of meat cattle
breeding, we specified a need of such development
of the branch; it has to be based, first of all, on
implementation of large-scale projects on the basis of
the competitive meat breeds of world level and the
low-used resources of pasturable cattle breeding
which are available in Russia. It will allow realizing
fully the least expensive intensive and pasturable
production technology of high-quality beef.
Prospects of implementation of the large-scale
project on creation in regions of farms with a feeding
livestock in 50 — 100 cows are specified
