The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to meet the needs of the population in meat products, the formation of a reliable balanced source of raw materials, and the implementation of import substitution policies. The purpose of this scientific work is to assess the modern functioning of the meat market in the Voronezh region and to justify the priority directions for the further development of its main segments. The study used the methods of portfolio and economic-statistical analysis, as well as theoretical and practical research results of the authors. The study noted an increase in the market supply due to an increase in regional meat production (with a decrease in imports, including imports of meat and meat products). Also it found an increase in export volumes, including exports of meat products, which was a result of excess production indicators recommended by the norms of rational consumption of meat products (to some extent). The results of the portfolio analysis indicate a growing market for pork and poultry meat, high rates of growth in the markets for beef, lamb, and goat meat. The effective functioning of the meat market in the Voronezh region is facilitated by the clustering process currently underway, which ensures the use of modern high-performance technologies and enhances the efficiency and competitiveness of the regional agro-industrial complex.
Competitiveness improvement is currently one of the urgent problems of the development of Russian economy sector. Methods and procedures for the qualitative assessment of competitiveness of agro-industrial companies are becoming especially important. The competition level is crucial for the development of the market. Features of competition in economy sector are determined by the specifics of this sector. Assessment of the competition level allows adequate adjusting of the strategy of a company. In order to analyze the competition level in the local market, the authors propose the use of the analysis of the size of the market share of participants, the concentration index and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, for markets with a large number of producers, the coefficient of variation can be used in construction. The obtained quantitative analytical indicators more informatively characterize the market situation, which allows finding, implementing and monitoring the effectiveness of management decisions in various areas.
The article examines the current state of the grain market at the level of federal districts and in the Russian Federation as a whole, it is noted that, despite severe weather conditions, the gross harvest of 2020 became the second largest in the history of Russia. The leaders in grain production in 2020 were the Central, Volga and Southern, in terms of the area of crops – the Volga, Southern, Siberian and Central Federal districts. The yield of grain and leguminous crops for the analyzed period 1990–2020 increased by 46.7% and averaged 28.6 c/ha in the country. The analysis of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the development of Agriculture for 2017–2025 and its subprograms, the Long-term strategy for the development of the grain complex of the Russian Federation until 2035, an assessment of the new indicator «provision of seeds of the main agricultural crops of domestic selection», presented in the Doctrine of Food Security 2020, is given. It is noted that in the world grain market over the past 30 years, Russia’s export potential has grown 24.3 times and reached 48.7 million tons, which corresponds to the third place in the world in grain exports (12% of the market volume) and the first place in wheat exports (20% of the market volume). Quantitative and qualitative characteristics of grain imports, investments for the development of both the grain industry and processing, and market infrastructure, including grain storage and warehousing systems, are given. Grain balance, export dynamics, including for individual grain crops, changes in export sales prices are considered. The main directions of development and improvement of the grain market for the future are presented: attracting investments in the grain industry; increasing the production of grain complex products and improving their quality by increasing the acreage by introducing unused land into circulation; increasing domestic grain consumption for feed purposes due to the development of the livestock industry and industrial grain processing; improving infrastructure and logistics of the grain industry; improving the scientific and technical base of the grain industry; improvement of measures of state regulation of grain production; increase of domestic grain consumption and development of export potential.
