Assessment of Adaptation Activity of Agricultural Business Subjects in the Project-Based Approach

The paper aims to assess the adaptive activity of the agribusiness depending on the scale of its activities using the project approach. The authors use various statistical methods, including rankings and indexes. The objectivity of the developed method lies in the use of weighted average indicators in the examination. During the analysis, the authors used data from the federal tax service of 11 regions of the Russian Federation with a developed agro-industrial complex. The structural analysis of the entrepreneurial activity of economic agents—participants in various links of agri-food chains—is presented. The analysis identified the most active business entities in two types of activities. The first is agriculture and forestry, hunting, and provision of services, and the other is food manufacturing industries. The authors propose a methodical approach to assessing the adaptive activity of agricultural business entities based on financial and economic indicators that reflect the sustainability of economic development, considering regional specifics. The paper determined the level and state of adaptive activity of business entities that implement lean production principles within the framework of the national project “Labor productivity and employment increase.” A discussion of the presented research results among Russian and foreign scientists is provided. Attention is focused on studying industry specifics of the project transformation of agriculture and other sectors of the agro-industrial complex. The results obtained can be used to diagnose the adaptive behavior of agribusiness organizations in the system of economic interaction.
