Abstract

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the directions for improving state support for the strategic development of the agricultural sector. The information and analytical resources of the study were the spatial database compiled by the authors in the context of the subjects of the Russian Federation by indicators on average for 2017-2019. The influence of price factors on the formation of physical and economic accessibility of products has been studied. It was revealed that in the process of formation the price interests of sellers and buyers have different polarity. In order to create a balanced formation of physical and economic accessibility of products, it is necessary to increase prices to create conditions for expanded reproduction of producers’ resources, on the one hand, and reduce prices to increase the purchasing power of the population in food products, on the other hand. Moreover, the influence of natural and economic factors simultaneously on the conditions of reproduction and purchasing power is observed. It is proposed to supplement the provisions on the classification of state support for the agricultural sector with measures to subsidize the sphere of production and the sphere of consumption of products, the level of which is advisable to differentiate on a territorial basis.
