CLUSTERS AS A TOOL FOR THE RESTRUCTURING OF AGRICULTURE (THE EXPERIENS OF RUSSIA)
Abstract
The article summarizes the experience of the cluster forms of organization and distribution of agricultural production in the Russian Federation, the European Community and certain regions of the Russian Federation.
The planned deployment of management and subsidizing agricultural production on the basis of cluster approach provides a more efficient and sustainable agricultural production.
The cluster approach to structuring territorial agribusiness in the region involves the allocation of areas in which the competitiveness of enterprises are based, which allows a more consistent support to these enterprises from the state, business and social organizations, including the promotion of production specialization of the region to the world market.
Methods: Statistical analysis, deduction, induction, group, factor analysis, economic-mathematical methods, historical analysis, spatial analysis.
The article analyzes the main instruments in the implementation of the cluster approach: allocation of seats specialization, places of economic growth of agriculture, profitability places, places of which is exported and exported specialized products, placement of investment and government subsidies.
Keywords: technological changes in the agriculture, machinery pools, machinery cooperatives, territorial specialization of agriculture, distribution of agricultural production, cluster.
The theories that explain the fundamental basis of the territorial distribution of agricultural production include the following.
The theory of the preferred providing the population with agricultural products mainly through local production comes from biological facts that better absorption is one of local’s foods produced on-site consumption.
Theory farming system focuses on resource potential of farms, the quantitative and qualitative state of the natural, material and labor resources, which produce competitive advantages production of specific products in a specific place.
In theory of the executive demand S. Linder in 1961 showed that the proximity of the countries in terms of development, the comparability of the quality of goods, coupled with an endless variety of modifications allows you to place in those countries producing the same goods as a whole, but different from each other consumer properties. In this case, there is a mechanism for cross (executive) demand, and international trade is developing at the expense of the various parts of the spectrum of goods exports and imports. Based on the theory of executive demand can be formulated three principles of foreign trade. 1) Exports of goods begins from the production for the domestic market. 2) The greater the demand, the higher the efficiency. 3) Domestic demand continues to interregional and later in international demand. Domestic market products continues in the in the external market.
The theory of executive demand by S. Linder complemented by life-cycle theory of exports goods by R. Vernon. The theory of the life cycle of the exported product claims that many of the goods through a life cycle consisting of the stages of introduction, growth, maturity, decline. The production depending on the life cycle is placing on different countries expanded foreign trade.
Problems of territorial distribution of agricultural production are devoted V.D. Kuzmenkova [1], F.Y. Nachitov [2], F.K. Shakirov [2], and others. However, these problems need further detail and generalization of practical experience.
According to our estimates the projected changes in the distribution of production in comparison with the option of maintaining the existing structure of production can provide growth of gross output in the amount of 4%. Significant differences in the costs of production and its volume depending on the location and combinations of placements in the region is an indisputable fact. Improvement of production location gives the effect of a gain or a product or a cost savings.There is several theoretical trips to the rational allocation of agricultural production. [2,p.60-63.]
An example of the successful implementation of the theory of farming systems could be showed in a Polish experience. In 2002, Poland exported agrarian production is about $ 3 billion. But by 2012, the Polish Agrarian exports totaled 19,5 billion USD. Growth in 10 years was 640 %. The dynamic growth of specialized production is due to effective planning and management of placement and subsidizing agricultural production. In 2004, Poland joined the European Union. Every year in the period 2002-2013 years, Poland received from the EU budget from 1,5 billion to 5,2 euro grants. Multiplier export growth as a result of agricultural subsidies amounted to 3, 75.
The amount of euro grants was as follows. Half of the subsidies went to direct payments to farmers, depending on the area and livestock. 35 % of the total amount of subsidies was paid within the framework of the Rural Development Programs. The euro grants included investments in new equipment, training of farmers, and the introduction of new varieties. Mandatory condition of subsiding - the audit of subsidies by the auditors of the European Union. [3]
The main purposes of regulation in the EU agro are to ensure stable economic and social conditions for agriculture, providing the population with quality food at socially acceptable prices, reducing the negative impact on the environment. The main methods of regulation of agriculture are subsidies. Through direct government subsidies from the budget the cost of production of agricultural products artificially lowers, cooperation and integration of economic entities in the agro-industrial complex are forming.
State regulation of agribusiness in the EU aimed at two main purposes.
- The development and restructuring of agriculture in the regions with the previous underdevelopment.
- Promoting rural development. The main criterionfor inclusionin thesubsidizedregionsis the low levelof economic development.The latter is definedby three criteria: a high proportion ofpeople employed in agriculture, low levels of agricultural income, low population density and / ora pronouncedtrendof population decline.
Specialty areas of the EU are formed purposefully. In the EU an institutional foundations for structural reforms are created: the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the orientation section of FEOGA, the Cohesion Fund to help EU countries with the lowest income.
We can consider the specialization of agriculture on the example of Germany. In Germany 80 % of livestock gives all agricultural products. Meadows and pastures account for 40% of the agricultural area. Dairy prevails in the foothills of the Alps in the north, in the coastal areas. Crop production is ancillary industries. Everywhere cultivated rye, oats, potatoes, fodder crops. An horticultural stripes, a suburban poultry farm productivity over 500 thousand eggs per day and cattle, pigs farm which can accommodate up to 20,000 heads are built around large cities in order to improve supplies of fresh perishable foods (fruits vegetables, milk, meat).
In the United States in agriculture a "belt" or a areas of agricultural production, with a production profiling products: wheat, corn, soy, cotton, milk are developed. In each area there are other industries. For example, feed grains (corn, soybeans, etc.) is exported from the Midwest to southeast poultry farms and cattle farms of southern regions. The hay is transported from the Great Plains farm animals to other parts of the country. The coarse grains of corn-soybean belt are transported to the areas of pasture-livestock zone. Placing potato production on the map can be visualized as a spots scattered all over the country and in each with their ripening - spring potato, summer one, autumn one, winter one (in Florida).
According to the calculations of American researchers concentration of crops in certain areas provided up to 70 % increase in yield for post-war period [1, p.41].
The much in the specialization areas of the US on agricultural production depends on the ratio of arable land and natural grasslands. In a group dominated areas of arable land agriculture specializes mainly in the production of the crop and livestock production which involves the use of animals for growing fodder crops. So in the states of the Northeast area the arable land in the 6 times more than the size of natural grasslands. This finds expression in this area of specialization: here specialize in the production of fruits, vegetables, potatoes, milk, broilers. In the mountain states and southern plains states the relationship between cropland and grassland available is 1: 6.4 and 1.2. Therefore, in these areas, the main industry - beef cattle. [1, c.41].
A significant excess of arable land on the feeding grounds finds expression in this area of specialization: here vegetables, fruits, potatoes, milk, broilers are master varieties of a production.
In the mountain states and southern plains states the relationship between cropland and grassland available is 1: 6,4 and 1,2. Therefore in these areas the beef cattle is the main industry [1, c.41].
In Russia the ratio between arable land and natural grasslands is 1: 0,7. 0, 85 hectares of arable land accounts for 1.4 hectares of agricultural land [1, c.41]. Therefore the specialization area is not very pronounced. The value of this indicator Russia lags behind such countries as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Kazakhstan which have large areas of land, but superior to all the rest of Europe. Relatively large land supply allows Russia as a whole and in parts of its regions to specialize in crop production in the regions, where there is much arable land - the production of grain and oilseeds. Specialization of certain areas of the livestock is suitable for animal husbandry areas and in some regions - for sheep. In general, specialization of the agricultural areas should be strengthened.
In Russia agricultural zoning is based on four agricultural climatic zones: arctic (with agriculture in greenhouses), an subarctic (oasis agriculture),an temperate climate zones (four seasons) and an subtropical zones (two seasons). The important thing for agriculture in the country is an average temperate climate zone. Further the agricultural climatic zones divided by moisture regime on the agricultural climatic region, and the last in the degree of continental climate are differentiated on the agricultural climatic province.
In Russia, the specialization of regions dominated by two trends. One by one, agriculture is close to the city and has a closed type of connection between the production and consumption of agricultural products in a relatively small area. In other areas agriculture is located in large areas in the territory of a network of branched points. The latter case products usually are sent to the big cities, inter-regional delivery, as well as for export. An example of the first direction can be the northern cities, cities with above million inhabitants (Moscow city, St. Petersburg city). An example of the second direction can be the southern regions of Russia - Belgorod region, Voronezh region, Krasnodar region
Using the cluster approach to the organization of specialization is characteristic for certain territories in managing the economy of the Vologda region. Formation of clusters is an important method of implementing economic policy of the Vologda region and is aimed at improving the competitiveness of the regional economy.
A specialty farm available in the Republic of Komi is associated primarily with a focus on the supply chain to the three sub-markets: the market of Syktyvkar, the market towns of Ukhta and Sosnogorsk and market northern cities. It should be noted that a significant proportion of producers only produce goods for the local market as part of its administrative-territorial units. Given the current specialization and development prospects of agriculture in the region, we offer to carry out the specialization in the form of the cluster approach, involving needs, first of all, local markets, in the second, sub regional, in the third, supply of products on the interregional market.
