The Contribution of the Agricultural Region to the Implementation of the State Project to Support and Develop the Export of Agricultural Products

The food problem remains one of the most important in the modern world: hundreds of millions of people in dozens of countries are experiencing food shortages or are in a state of chronic hunger. The way to solve the problem as soon as possible is to redistribute food from “food-surplus” regions of the world to “food-deficient” ones. It is carried out through the use of both market and non-market mechanisms of international export-import operations with agricultural products. An important role in ensuring the country's foreign economic processes is played by its main macro–regulator, the state. In federations, a significant part of the authority to organize the production and export of agricultural products is shifted to the level of regional government authorities, and this process is subject to scientific research. The paper uses an overview of regulatory, statistical and scientific data on the state and prospects of regional exports of agricultural products on the example of Stavropol Territory, Russian Federation. The authors relied on official sources of information and works published in peer-reviewed journals. The sources were selected in scientometric databases using search queries containing synonymous constructions. We analyzed the system of normative, organizational and administrative activities of the federal and regional authorities of the Russian Federation over the past twenty years, as well as the dynamics of the production and export components of the agro-industrial complex of the Stavropol Territory over the past five years. The work studied the contribution of the agricultural region to the implementation of the state project to support and develop the export of agricultural products. The project approach shows the effectiveness of solving the food problem at the domestic and foreign economic levels. The system of normative, methodological and organizational interaction of central and regional government authorities was proofed in the context of the “vertical of power” in the federation.
