The method of planning subsidies to producers taking into account food security objectives
The problem of increasing the purposefulness of state support funds for commodity producers on solving strategic tasks to ensure the physical availability of products at the level of rational consumption standards is raised. The analysis of the methods of planning state support proposed in science showed that their simulation capabilities are not enough to justify the amount of subsidies for the agriculture development and ensuring food security as a complex problem. The author has developed a methodology that makes it possible to determine the level of financial support for the production of products in the volume of physical availability and the amount of subsidies to create conditions for the resources reproduction. The calculation algorithm consists in determining the required volume of gross output, ensuring the degree of coverage of costs for its production, taking into account subsidies at a given level of profitability. The methodology is socially oriented and takes into account the relationship between producers' incomes and agricultural workers wages. The use of the methodology in the practice of strategic planning will provide conditions for the formation of such volumes and main types of products production structure, that is optimally linked to the norms of their rational consumption.
