Concentration of efforts of the state and science on introduction of achievements of scientific and technical progress in agricultural production, distribution of technological innovations, carrying out large-scale technical modernization of farms of the agrarian sphere is necessary for development of material base of agriculture. The executed assessment of productivity of the actions realized within the State program 2008-2012 allowed authors to draw a conclusion on the insufficient level of efficiency of the program actions and the reasons which affected it. Results of the comparative analysis of cost of the attracted resources when carrying out various actions for the state support allow an agricultural producer to develop effective policy of optimum use of alternative sources of financing. Authors offered recommendations about improvement of the state support of the technician - technological modernization of agrarian production, including the list of actions of the direct, indirect and mediated participation of the state taking into account the solved tasks differentiated on levels of hierarchy of management.
For a sustainable development, both agrarian sector, and region economy in general, it is necessary to increase investment activity, to find financial reserves that there was no its recession or freezing during the crisis which captured the country. The analysis of investment activity of the agrarian and industrial complexes organizations of regional sector of economy as in general across North Caucasus federal district, and across Stavropol Krai, the main tendencies and the directions of its development are defined is presented in article. The main investment projects in agro-industrial sector of regional economy are considered. The carried-out analysis of investment activity of North Caucasus federal district gives an idea of priority of these or those directions of development of agrarian and industrial complex of the region. The revealed tendencies have to promote recovery from the crisis with deduction of the positions in the market and production efficiency growth.
The analysis of a current state of production of wine and grapes in Russia and Stavropol Krai is made, the major factors which had essential impact on development of branch during the period since 2000 are investigated. The branch of production of wine and grapes is considered from a position of two of its components - cultivation of grapes and its further processing on wine materials for the purpose of production of alcoholic products. The analysis of gross vintage on regions of edge showed uneven development of areas within their reference to 6 traditionally allocated cultivation zones. Therefore there was a need of carrying out typological group of areas on grapes output taking into account dynamics of gross collecting from 2000 on 2013 on 4 groups on a level of development. Therefore two main regions of Stavropol Krai - Budenovsky and Levokumsky areas of which not less than 67‰ of gross vintage for the studied period are the share were allocated. The conclusion that the alcoholic industry of Russia is the dynamic and developing branch, even despite decrease in production of alcohol in 2013 which is caused by toughening of legislative control of production and realization of alcohol by Federal Service for Alcohol Market Regulation, and also the pursued tax policy regarding excises is drawn. Continuation of decrease in outputs and a reshaping of productions on production of hard alcoholic beverages on the basis of ethyl alcohol is supposed further.
Changes in the economic situation in Russia, associated with the introduction of sanctions have caused the need to analyze the production of own agricultural production in conditions of import substitution. The article describes the main trends in the development of beef cattle breeding in the Stavropol region. Revealed that the leading beef producers are farming population. In agricultural organizations of region high unprofitability ratio of beef cattle is associated with lower levels of productivity, as well as the imperfection of pricing policies in the market of meat and meat products in Russia. Also identified features of the zonal distribution of the cattle population and beef production, determined the efficiency level of beef cattle breeding in various climatic zones of the region. It is concluded that the region has sufficient resources for the development of beef cattle breeding in it, and the most promising areas for this industry include areas of eastern and north-eastern areas of the province. The studies identified strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the industry.
In the article the estimation of reproductive efficiency and effectiveness of the system of agricultural insurance; identified strengths and weaknesses of the system of crop insurance with state support. Today in Russia is actively developing this branch of insurance as agricultural. In our country, the agricultural insurance market is only beginning to emerge, because there are reasons that prevent its development. The development and commercialization of agricultural insurance with state support in Russia is possible, provided that the monitoring will provide the government Agency. The main achievement of companies engaged in the insurance is the fact that they have secured government support for their activities. Another important achievement is the rapid expansion of agricultural insurance throughout the state. A big step in reducing the backlog was the adoption of the Federal law "On state support in the sphere of agricultural insurance and amendments to the Federal law "On development of agriculture", which introduced new standards of insurance. Proposed a number of promising directions in the field of agricultural insurance: innovation, such as "remote sensing"; introduced new standards of insurance. These perspectives will help to solve another series of problems that impede the development of the agricultural insurance market in Russia and in the General development of agriculture.
Conceptual provisions on ensuring food security are based on innovative and investment approach to development of regional agrarian and industrial complex and are directed on its functioning in the conditions of sanctions policy. Authors revealed threats of ensuring food security both regarding economic, and regarding physical availability of the food; the conclusion that cluster approach as the institutional tool ensures food security on the basis of formation of the competitive integration structures using advantages of synergetic effect of interaction in the direction and realization of strategy of import substitution is drawn. The food security is considered by authors as set of the social and economic processes of structurization and integration caused by effective investment investments in new technologies and productions. Innovative and investment strategy of ensuring food security assumes complex application of the knowledge-intensive reserves in organizational and administrative, social and economic and technical and ecological fields of activity of the enterprises.
In modern market economy it is possible to fight for environment by economic methods. The weakest link of the operating mechanism of management of environmental management is insufficient economic interest of the enterprises in effective use of natural resources and in respect for the environment. In system of measures for stimulation of nature protection and energy saving activity development and purposeful use of the economic mechanism of impact on production which has to create conditions for increase of a direct material interest of labor staff of the enterprises in ensuring rational use of natural resources, protection and reproduction of natural resources are important. The environmental management mechanism (in narrow sense) has to become part of the general mechanism regulating functioning of separate productions in a natural and grocery vertical and to be focused on the end results. In view of possibility of an associativity of mechanisms of environmental management for various complexes, there are possibilities of a combination of these types. As an example of turning on of the economic mechanism of environmental management in the general mechanism covering all natural and grocery vertical, its coordination with "postnatural" mechanisms and orientation to the end results it is possible to give possible creation of system of taxes for a natural and grocery vertical for the rigid mechanism of environmental management.
The important requirement of dynamic and effective development of agrarian sector of economy is improvement of system of information and consulting and analytical ensuring decision-making on these or those questions of operational and strategic management. Formation of the effective directions of ranging of the agricultural organizations for groups of statiko-dynamic development that allows to make an assessment not only the current provision of economic subject, but also dynamics of its development is the cornerstone of the solution of such tasks. Carrying out a social and economic and resource and branch assessment of development of the agricultural organizations will allow to develop adequate administrative decisions on decrease in asymmetry in development of the agricultural organizations, to consider operating conditions at realization of a state policy, and also to promote development of strategy of development. In article scientific and practical approaches to the analysis of efficiency of functioning of the organizations of branch of agrarian and industrial complex for the purpose of increase of efficiency of agricultural production of Stavropol Krai are considered.
Authors perfromed calculation of expected values of the main indicators of development of separate subsectors of agriculture of Stavropol Krai on the basis of creation of spatial and dynamic econometric models. The offered econometric models were used for forecasting of production and realization of seeds of sunflower and sugar beet agricultural producers of Stavropol Krai for 2015-2030. The applied approach allows to choose optimum version of the administrative decision and provides the highest efficiency of this decision at a given time. Identification of models assumes also calculation of quantitative characteristics of influence of factors of the studied process, helping to formulate thereby more objective conclusions, and increases the accuracy of the received forecasts. The advantage of the presented models is simplicity of their interpretation and practical use, and also possibility of inclusion, if necessary, of new exogenous variables in the explaining part of the equations. It allows to consider influences of again arising factors in region economy which can have essential impact on production and sales of products of plant growing. The listed advantages of this method of forecasting create opportunities to use results of modeling as at the moment time, and in the future, taking into account necessary adjustments.
