Socio-economic imbalances hindering the growth of innovation activity of Russian agri-food enterprises amidst new global challenges
Amidst changes in the foreign trade balance in the world food markets caused by the reduction of economic ties with the Russian Federation, the national agri-food complex acts as the sole guarantor of ensuring food security and independence of our country. In order to minimize global risks and threats that have a negative impact on the Russian economy and increase the efficiency of the agri-food complex, large-scale introduction of innovative technologies and high-tech products into all stages of agricultural production is required. The comparison of the innovative activity level of the agri-food enterprises with organizations of related industries of the Russian economy is carried out. The socio-economic imbalances preventing the transition of agricultural enterprises to a new level of technological development are substantiated. Proposals to expand the list of state support measures subsidizing the agribusiness innovative development and aimed at reducing the import dependence have been prepared.
