The paper is devoted to summarizing the experience of forming sources of funding in emerging markets and analyzing the efficiency of capital use using the example of agricultural enterprises in the South of Russia. The literature review covers studies revealing the determinants of the formation of sources of capital funding in both developed and emerging markets. It is noted that the features of the establishment of business structures and the country’s financial system are factors in the choice of hierarchy theory by the management of companies in the formation of capital structure. A study of the impact of the weighted average cost of capital on return on assets was carried out using the example of agricultural enterprises in the South of Russia. The obtained results confirm the developed hypotheses about the negative impact of an increase in the volume of debt financing of agribusiness organizations on the return on assets, as well as about the choice of a conservative agricultural policy by agricultural organizations in forming funding sources. These results are close to the results of applied research on the formation of capital structure in other sectors of the Russian economy.
The scientific article is devoted to the study of domestic and foreign experience in financing the digitalization of agribusiness. The purpose of the scientific research is a critical review and analysis of the best domestic and foreign practices for financing the digital reform of the agro-industrial complex and related problems and possible solutions. When preparing a scientific publication, general scientific methods (observation, comparison, measurement, analysis and synthesis, the method of logical reasoning) and specific scientific methods (static analysis, peer review, graphical method) were used. Results: a critical review of domestic and foreign practice showed a significant role of private and corporate investors in the face of venture funds, endowment funds of specialized universities and active processes of intercompany cooperation between agribusinesses and IT companies. In the Russian Federation, the practice of financing the digitalization of the agro-industrial complex, on the contrary, is built on the high centralization of financial resources represented by the state regulator - the Ministry of Agriculture and its subordinate funds. This leads to the conclusion about the need for a deep revision of the mechanism for providing financing in favor of decentralizing tools and popularizing the work of private and corporate funds for financing agrotech, as well as developing the practice of online application through the developing virtual banking service for financing the APK "Smart- Contract".
