MODERN GARDENING INDUSTRY IN RUSSIA: ANALYSIS OF THE SITUATION AND PROSPECTS
Today, industrial horticulture is undergoing a series of structural and organizational changes. Innovations connected with the reform in the tax system and the level of organization of modern production. The leadership in the quality of apple fruits produced today held by large horticultural farms, despite the fact that planting areas are more prevalent on the lands of personal subsidiary plots (SP) farms. The quality of fruits is the main criterion for the sale of apples, despite the fact that the volumes of products produced in LP farms can cover the shortage of apples in the country. At the first stages, it is necessary to standardize fruit growing, prepare methodological recommendations and give the population the opportunity to engage in the production of food apples, which will reduce unemployment and improve the well-being of the population in the subjects of horticulture. There is a serious shortage of apples on the Russian market, which reflected in their value in the chains. Many southern regions have taken a leading position in the introduction of advanced technologies for the cultivation of intensive gardens. With the development of horticulture, there is a lack of capacity in companies to store food apples. The lack of modern storage facilities affects the quality ofproducts and their further implementation. A great help in the development of the economy of horticultural companies will be the development of their own processing of products, as a criterion for maneuvering with the sale of products. The yield per unit area is growing in horticultural companies compared to the gardens of the population, which is associated with the introduction of advanced technologies and the ability of large companies to improve the skills of their employees.
