State support for the development of agriculture in the region with an agrarian profile of the economy

Abstract. The existing subsidy payments actually leads to overpricing of resources by suppliers and, as a consequence, to reduction of economic availability for all other agricultural producers, who don’t receive support measures. A limited number of economic entities receive short-term financial benefits from subsidies, which don’t refer to the whole agricultural sector. The purpose is to propose and substantiate recommendations for increasing the economic return on agricultural subsidies in Kazakhstan. Methods. The paper applies a statistical analysis of economic return on agricultural subsidies in Kazakhstan. The work estimates volumes of used resources and produced goods per 1 ruble of subsidies (considering their types). Scientific novelty consists in clarifying approaches to the assessment of economic efficiency of agricultural subsidies; determining the factors restraining the agricultural development in Kazakhstan at the expense of subsidies; proposing and justification of measures to mitigate these factors. Results. The focus of support on short-term results (replenishment of working capital instead of introducing new technologies); the orientation of support on gross indicators instead of production efficiency; insufficient funding for general services in the agricultural sector – are factors that hinder the growth of the returns from subsidies. The article proposes the improvement measures: 1) linking subsidies with production efficiency, application of innovative and environmentally friendly technologies; 2) re-orientation of subsidies in favor of domestic production of resources for agriculture; 3) financing of domestic breeding science, seed production. These measures are based on the need to overcome the technological backwardness of agriculture in Kazakhstan.

Abstract. The purpose. The level of marketability of milk in the households of the population of some subjects of the Volga Federal District from 2011 to 2021 increased by more than 20 p. p. The leader in this rating was the Chuvash Republic with the marketability of milk in the households of the population in 2021 at the level of 77.5 %. In connection with the high involvement of the population in the organized market for the sale of milk, the authors developed an economic and mathematical model for calculating the level of efficiency of dairy cattle breeding in the households of the population under various conditions and sizes of their management, and also adapted this model to calculate the efficiency of the farmers of the Chuvash Republic. Methods. The developed economic and mathematical model is built according to the structure of the economic model for automating the calculations of business concepts of small agribusiness, presented in an earlier work of the authors with adaptation to the activities of households. Scientific novelty. The work allows you to establish the most optimal options for dairy cattle breeding, depending on the objectives of management: optimization or expansion of production. Results. According to the results of the calculations, it was found that the most effective and stimulating for the development of management is the option of switching the agrarian to the payment of NAP and the use of state support provided for the self-employed. The larger the farm and the more investments the agrarian plans to make, the greater the return on state support will be. The amount of profitability in some cases exceeds 100 %. However, it is necessary to take into account the expediency of raising funds based on common sense, and not just in terms of mathematical calculations.
