Analysis of the Dependence of Agricultural Production Efficiency in the Regions of Russia on the Availability of Resources Based on the Multidimensional Grouping Method

Agriculture is extremely dependent on limited resources. It is relevant to rationally use production resources in the sectors of agriculture to increase the efficiency of economic entities, provide the population with food, and achieve the country’s food security. The issues of resource availability and efficiency of agricultural production and the use of research methods that make it possible to take a systemic and multifaceted approach to its study are relevant and widely discussed. The research aims to examine the impact of the resource provision of agricultural enterprises in the regions of the European part of the Russian Federation on the results of their functioning and work. The research methodology is represented by cluster analysis. The authors developed a system of indicators for analysis and formed clusters of regions based on these indicators. The authors provide recommendations for the regions of each cluster. The authors define methodological techniques, formulate recommendations in the field of application of cluster analysis of agricultural enterprises. The authors assess the impact of the availability and resource endowment of agricultural enterprises on the efficiency of production, the use of production resources. The study used general scientific methods, such as the monographic method, methods of system and cluster analysis, abstract-logical method, and graphical method. The main conclusions are based on a multidimensional grouping of regions. The results of the analysis allowed the authors to develop ways and directions for the development of agricultural production, strategies for the development of agriculture for the relevant groups of regions and territories.
