The paper is devoted to the analysis of changes in the gross harvest of crops from 2008 to 2017. Nutrient removal volumes according to their types with the yield of main commercial crops, including 1 hectare of each crop area are calculated. Volumes of removal by type of nutrients are established. The removal of nutrients with the yield and the application of mineral and organic fertilizers when growing major crops are compared. The size of the nutrient removal over their application in general, including the main crops and types of nutrients is estimated. Proposals to improve the effective soil fertility by increasing the use of fertilizers are formulated. The authors consider ways of these proposals implementation.
The analytical materials contain the results of studying the main trends in the development of agriculture, including the features of the use of digital technologies in the agricultural sector of countries with different levels of agricultural development and the degree of digitalization of the economy, a developed system of statistical indicators for a comprehensive description of the conditions, the process of results and the effectiveness of the use of digital technologies in agriculture, a system of indicators for monitoring these processes.
The current conditions of international cooperation on export-import policy and the development of the country’s domestic economy require special attention to ensuring food security, especially in relation to animal breeding products, which occupy a significant share in the volume of imports in the Russian Federation. The high degree of differentiation of regions in terms of the development of agricultural production due to differences in climatic conditions and historically determined sectoral characteristics of production are the basis of the relevance of a close study of the conditions and development potential of beef cattle breeding at the regional level. This paper contains a statistical analysis of the conditions for ensuring food security in the Samara Region as a territory that has a high resource potential for livestock breeding, but does not fully realize it, turning into an import-dependent market. Based on the application of the grouping method, analysis of time series, and correlation analysis, the region features, livestock production trend are identified, the main factors affecting the food independence of the region are established.
The growing interest both in our country and throughout the world in agriculture as an economic activity of strategic importance for ensuring food independence of the country determines the relevance of research on devising approaches to the analysis of its development using statistical methods. The authors’ approaches to assessing the development of agriculture in Russia based on data from the system of national accounts, including input-output tables, presented in this paper, make it possible to characterize the dynamics of the formation and use of output and gross value added (GVA) of the agricultural sector of the economy (including in the institutional context); assess the demand for each of the presented products within the industry and in the intermediate consumption of other industries; to identify structural changes in the composition of intermediate consumption in the production of goods; determine the trends and prospects for the development of agriculture on their basis.As part of the study, the authors disclosed additional analytical capabilities of statistical databases that include agricultural censuses and current accounting data in the system of macroeconomic indicators and allow for a more accurate assessment of the effectiveness of agricultural development. The calculated coefcients of direct costs ranged in the form of time series, analysis of the structure of intermediate consumption made it possible to identify the features of the development of the Russian agricultural sector and the directions for improving its economic and statistical analysis. The authors argue for the need to take into account the phenomenon of multistructure of agriculture in Russia to calculate the gross value added produced in the sector of peasant farms, subsidiary farms, separately small and large agricultural organizations, including holdings, with the obligatory comparison of the selling prices of their products used when calculating output and GVA. A proposal was made to include a table with additional information on labor costs and consumption of feed, fertilizers, electricity, and other basic resources in physical terms in the system of input-output tables by industry.
The article is devoted to the study of the state and development features of the components of the resource potential of agricultural production from the point of view of the possibility of using digital technologies in the production process. The information infrastructure of rural areas, production resources, sources of funds for their modernization are considered as key factors. The analysis of the composition and structure of resources in dynamics is carried out, the reasons for the lagging of the pace of digitalization in agriculture from other industries and activities are revealed. In particular, the low level of development of digital competencies of the personnel of agricultural enterprises, low interest in professional development were noted; a high share of the imported component of production resources in the agricultural sector, which leads to high costs and, together with low incomes, makes it difficult to modernize technologies.
