BIOCLIMATIC POTENTIAL AS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE TERRITORIAL LABOR DIVISION OF CATTLE BREEDING IN RUSSIA
The problem of the factor importance evaluation, where factors explain the situation of the territories in labor division, is of great importance when it comes to predicting the rational territorial labor division in the agricultural sector. That problem is especially pertinent in the cattle breeding in Russia due to the fact that it's one of the most traditional subdivision of cattle raising, which never received proper development stimulations during the several year switch to market economy. The research's goal is justifying the necessity of intensification in the territorial labor division in cattle breeding of the country and forming specialized zones for milk and beef cattle. During the evaluation of the factors, which form territorial labor division in agriculture, using the correlation method the author explains the influence of the bioclimatic potential over the physical volume index of the gross agricultural product. In order to reveal the reserves for magnifying the production of cattle breeding products and the level of the population supply with it, and also to form specialized zones for milk and beef production, the author suggest classifying the regions according to several things such as feeding lands, their productivity and reliability and the bioclimatic potential of that particular region. The regional cattle breeding development analysis proved the rationality of the milk cattle development in the regions with the relatively low feeding lands supply and medium natural conditions, where the bioclimat-ic potential allows for growing feeding grains for subdivision development; the development of beef cattle in the regions with a high quantity of feeding lands and a high bioclimatic potential. Economical and mathematical model of rational regional cattle breeding situation revealed the reserves for magnification of milk and beef production, the ways of developing interregional trade from the position of economic efficiency and the realization of milk and meat products not only regionally, but in the country as a whole.
