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.

A number of provisions in the article, such as a rationale of the extra forms of disabled people's governmental support formation, has a scientific novelty

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 authors reveal contemporary issues of dairy cattle breeding. These problems are cross-sectoral in nature and are caused by economic realities, related to the crisis, high production and financial risks, lack of financial resources and insufficient state support system. The article reveals the specifics of the dairy industry, including the uniqueness of the products, the rhythm of production and high dependence of the industry on the scale of production. The authors analyze the dynamics and structure of milk production in federal districts of the Russian Federation; assess the changes in the indices of dairy cattle breeding production on farms of all categories of the Russian Federation and calculate milk production efficiency in the agricultural enterprises of Krasnodar territory. The authors have found that the major milk producers in the Krasnodar region are agricultural organizations, but their share in the gross production of milk was constantly decreasing over the period of 1990-2014. The article proves the feasibility of improving the mechanisms of state support for the dairy industry, including assistance in the creation and development of consumer cooperatives that promote the growth of efficiency and competitiveness of dairy farming

The level of competitiveness of the agricultural sector depends on the effective implementation of the import substitution policy and food security in the region in which all categories of the population at any one time must have physical and economic opportunities needed to get enough and safe food for an active, full and healthy life. In this context, the problem of increasing the competitiveness of regional agriculture in the new economic environment is relevant. Competitiveness characterizes the concentrated expression of the totality of possibilities of managing subjects of agriculture produce and to bring the products (goods, works, services) to the consumer. Solving the problem of increasing the competitiveness of regional agriculture is closely linked to an increase in the effectiveness of the quality management of products, increasing profitability of production, improving the system of state regulation of the agrarian sector of the economy. Principles of creation of an effective mechanism of state regulation and support the competitiveness of the agro-industrial complex include: agro-industrial protectionism; program-targeted regulation and maintenance of the guaranteed state support for agribusiness; efficient use of resources. The priority areas to ensure the competitiveness of regional agriculture are: to create conditions for the development of innovation and investment environment, the improvement of financial and economic state of the industry and agribusiness organizations, improvement of state support of the agrarian sector mechanisms
