The Logistic Function of Cooperation in the Agro-Food Supply with Digitalization in the Russian Federation

Currently, digital solutions are increasingly penetrating consumer cooperation. The need for the use of innovative technologies is increasing to improve the efficiency of logistics of consumer societies of the Centrosoyuz of Russia. Consumer societies have a solid opportunity to combine their economic activities into a single system based on a digital platform and become the undisputed leader in the segment of national food security.

Various approaches to the participation of consumer cooperation in food security are revealed in the conditions of the digital economy with the industrialization of production. Therewith, the relevance of consumer cooperation in replenishing food supplies is increasing. Its role in the development of small agricultural business in rural areas is revealed, the need for more complete use of the resources available in consumer cooperation in the organization of procurement activities in the field of procurement of agricultural products and raw materials in the households of the population, individual entrepreneurs and peasant farms is argued. The use of the achievements of the digital economy in the system of consumer cooperation is considered as one of its practical applications in modern conditions to increase competitiveness in the domestic and international food market, improving the quality of life of the working population of rural areas.

Integrated agro-industrial parks (IAIP) – is a new economic model, driven by the need to facilitate modernization and advancement of agriculture and to help developing countries carry out the structural transformation of the industry and commercialize it. In Africa, the first country to start implementing IAIP was Ethiopia, which already had experience at that time in the construction of industrial parks specializing in the production of manufactured goods. Ethiopia faces problems common in Africa’s agriculture: unequal incomes of rural and urban residents, high unemployment and poverty, low food security, underdeveloped agricultural infrastructure, limited opportunities for small farmers to centrally and profitably deliver their products with minimal losses, etc. All these problems can be solved through the introduction of IAIP. Ethiopia has also set itself the goal of competing in the increasingly globalized agribusiness market and needs to provide an enabling environment for the establishment and growth of agribusiness firms. In 2016, the country hosted the first International Agro-Industry Investment Forum, where investment projects of 4 startups were presented. Three of them were opened in February, March and May 2021 and focused on the production, sorting, processing, acquiring and other activities related to adding value to agricultural raw materials. The goals of creating IAIPs were not only to increase the production of agricultural products and enhance food security, but also to expand the volume and range of exported products, as well as to increase the production of agricultural products with added value. Several other African countries were inspired by the example of Ethiopia, and now the discussion of the possibility of establishing an IAIP is underway as part of the creation of a common agro-industrial park in Zambia and Zimbabwe.

AbstractFood systems and trade of agricultural products have been affected by States measures in response to the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic. Cuba, a Caribbean island, is equally hard hit by Coronavirus pandemic. Cuba’s reality becomes much more complex when it has to face the economic and financial blockade imposed as a unilateral coercive measure by the US government, causing the impossibility of buying raw materials abroad to produce first need products and food. This essay, framing the global problem of Covid-19, aims to understand how trade of agricultural products is regulated in Cuba in times of pandemic for quarantine areas, taking specific municipality experiences as a model. It is necessary to disseminate the good experiences following three main constitutional principles: right to adequate food, food safety and municipal autonomy. Main results are based on demonstrating if there is an appropriate articulation between local government, producers and trader’s direct benefits to strengthen the food security of population will be obtained.

There are principles and restrictions of the international trade influencing not only the export potential of the country, but also its internal market and food security. The object of research is foreign economic activity connected with the export of raw materials and processed products of the oil and fat industry. The research subject is the fundamental trade principles of the WTO which can have an impact on the volumes of export of the oil and fat industry established by the Federal project “Agricultural products export”. The authors consider trade regimes and principles common for all member-states, and the relatively recent changes in export financing. In the Russian Federation, the complex agricultural products export support system is functioning. This system is included in the National project “International cooperation and export”, and the project “Agricultural products export” is part of it. Within the federal project, various instruments of exporting agriculture producers support are used, both of financial and non-financial nature, which are implemented via various institutes for development. The key factor of the topical character of this research is the restriction of agricultural products export financing and the provision of Russia’s food security. The authors analyze tariff regulation of oil and fat products trade and formulate the variants of development of this sector.

The relevance of the article topic is due to the need to study the features of the existing structure of the rural economy, the ratio of forms of management of the agrarian business in the context of modern external and internal challenges of the socio-economic environment. The purpose of the article is to develop recommendations for improving the efficiency of rural entrepreneurship based on an analysis of the current situation and identifying the features of the development of forms of management of subjects of agricultural business. The article highlights the results of the analysis of the peculiarities of the development of certain forms of management of agricultural production. It has been established that in modern conditions of the implementation of the program for sustainable development of rural areas and import substitution of food products, the diversity of the rural economy is an objective necessity. Each of the forms of management has its own characteristics of functioning and, under certain conditions, is capable of ensuring the efficiency of activities. Half of agricultural products are produced by small forms of farming, which have a strong impact on volume indicators and are characterized by instability of growth depending on demand and price fluctuations in the market. It is proposed to provide the necessary conditions for combining successful economic activities of different organizational and legal forms of management in rural areas: personal subsidiary plots and peasant (farmer) households, cooperative formations, large forms of organization of agricultural business.
