Areas for improving the technical capacity reproduction of the national agricultural sector

The country’s food security doctrines require modern, efficient and high-performance machinery, but the domestic machine and tractor fleet is characterized by limited reproduction. The depreciation period for an average statistical tractor is more than 20 years. The study aimed to identify strategic unused reserves for increasing the technical capacity of the agro–industrial sector by improving machine reproduction. The research methodology rests on the results obtained by the scientific Engineering and Economics School of Yu.A. Konkin, Full Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as well as statistical data on the availability of tractors and combine harvesters for domestic farm enterprises in 2021-2023 and a comparative assessment of tractor renewal coefficients. As a result, techniques for the practical implementation of machine reproduction have been put forward: state regulation and support of the reproduction of technical facilities and the practical implementation of government programs for the development of agriculture.; preferential lending and targeted financing of the national agricultural sector. It was proposed to review the methods of depreciation for renovation, the equivalence of exchange in the purchase and sale of new and used machinery, leasing, and regulatory acts related to the economic relations of agricultural producers, processing enterprises, intermediaries and retail chains. The authors propose to implement the proposals of the Problematic Laboratory on the Economic Aspects of Repair and Maintenance of the Goryachkin Agricultural Engineering Institute (MIISP) performed by the Engineering and Economic Scientific School of Yu.A. Konkin, Full Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The research base includes a 3-fold examination of 150 thousand tractors.
