The state of production of meat in peasant (farm) farms in the region
For the period from 2005 to 2016 in the structure of production of livestock and poultry for slaughter in the Republic of Bashkortostan, there are some changes in favor of large-scale production. The specific weight of livestock and poultry production for slaughter in agricultural organizations increased by 19.5 pp., In peasant (farm) households this indicator increased by 2.2 percentage points. If in the post-Soviet period agricultural self-employment in the production of products animal husbandry (or crop production) on personal farmsteads was an alternative to rural unemployment and the population was oriented to food self-sufficiency for survival, but now another situation is emerging. The volume of production of livestock and poultry for slaughter in the territory of the region by natural and climatic zones is not the same. For the period from 2005 to 2016 an increase in the production of livestock and poultry for slaughter in farms of all categories occurred in the pre-Aral steppe zone by 46%, in the mountain forest zone by 17.6%. The decrease in the production of livestock and poultry for slaughter in the northeastern forest-steppe zone was 34%, in the southern forest-steppe zone 28.3%, in the Trans-Ural zone 19%, in the northern forest-steppe zone 9.4%. Active and systematic state support of the industry, support of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Bashkortostan allow to develop, increase the number of meat stock and ensure the growth of production of high-quality, competitive milk, meat and other livestock products in the region. Growth in the production of high-quality meat will facilitate the squeezing out of low-quality imported products, ensuring food security.
