Problems of agriculture in Kalmykia

The analysis of production activity in agriculture has shown that the current situation in it leaves an imprint in the general complex of agribusiness. Being the basic industry for the processing sector, agriculture does not supply raw materials due to the fact that it does not have enough resources for this, and, first of all, labor. In turn, the reason for the shortage of labor resources is the weak social development of the village, which prevents the positive solution of demographic issues. The development of rural areas depends on the direct participation of the business environment in them, which should be based on the goals of meeting the needs of the rural population and raising the standard of living of the village. However, business is poorly interested in small consumer markets and does not stay in the village for a long time. Since the countryside is not only a territory for the production of products, but also a place of permanent residence of a part of the population, business here should be of a village – forming nature. The importance of social programs for creating stability in agribusiness is emphasized. The purpose of the study is to highlight the problems of agribusiness in Russian regions on the example of the Republic of Kalmykia. In the course of the research, traditional methods were used: statistical, monographic, graphic, comparative and analytical. The paper considers the main problems of the Russian agro-industrial complex.
