WAYS OF ECONOMICAL CONSUMPTION OF LIGHT OIL PRODUCTS IN AGRICULTURE
The article analyzes the development of crop production in our country in 1970 - 1985. It is established that over these years, the stock and energy supply of agricultural production has increased by 350 - 400 %. However, due to these factors, there was no significant increase in labor productivity and gross product. It was found that the consumption of diesel fuel per hectare of acreage in Russia is 1,5 - 2,0 times higher than in industrialized countries. It was emphasized that further increase in agricultural output, due to the implementation Of the strategy for the development of the agro-industrial complex until 2030, will require an even greater increase in the demand for energy resources and, in particular, for diesel fuel. It is shown that the basis of innovative production of crop production is based on interconnected agronomic and engineering systems and financial and economic services. It is noted that the efficiency of forming industrial and technological methods of crop production is determined primarily by the level of development of the engineering and technical system, which forms about 70 % of the costs in the cost of agricultural products. For domestic agricultural enterprises, the growth of material costs continues to be characteristic, among which a significant place is occupied by the consumption of light oil products. However, the steady increase in prices for petroleum products and the repeated purchase of low-quality motor fuel by rural producers inevitably leads to the need to find ways to rationalize the use of energy resources. Therefore, the increasing consumption of motor fuel by agricultural production is more likely to be achieved by saving it. At the same time, the real possibility of improving the efficiency of motor fuel use in modern conditions depends primarily on the scientific validity of the relevant concepts.
