Results of the Russian State policy in the field of increasing food availability

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of the Russian state policy on agricultural production and food availability in the context of food security. Using methodological tools, statistical data about production, consumption and prices of food products were processed. In the course of the work, it was determined that the agriculture of Russia shows a fairly high rate of development. The positive aspect is that this growth is provided mainly by intensive factors. The sale prices of agricultural producers show high growth rates, which negatively affects the availability of food for the country's population. In general, Russia's agriculture, under the conditions of the food embargo and economic sanctions, shows good results. It is proposed that the State changes the emphasis from state support from grain and pig farming to growing vegetables, growing fruits, and raising livestock, including milk products. Increasing support to these areas will increase the volume of agricultural production of high value-added goods, which will have a positive impact on the development of rural areas and the diversification of exports. At the same time, state support should be left in the direction of the production of class 1 and 2 cereals and the processing of pork.
