ASSESSMENT OF THE STATE OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND REGIONS
Introduction: in this study, the authors tried to assess the state of agricultural engineering in Russia through the requirements of the requirements and the conditional coefficients of the conversion of agricultural machinery into reference units in determining the standards of their needs. The state of agricultural machine building and agricultural production was assessed during the years of changing the standards - 1987, 2003 and 2012. Materials and methods: to assess the state of agricultural engineering, statistical yearbooks were used, the Russian Statistical Yearbook: 2001, statistical collections, reviews, reports, newsletters, articles by scientists involved in these studies. The following methods were used and applied in the study: normative, statistical, expert estimates, experimental, calculation-constructive, program-target, economic and mathematical methods. Results: in this study, the analysis of the production of the main types of agricultural machinery, deliveries of the agro-industrial complex (acquisition) of the main types of agricultural machinery, the park of the main types of machinery in agricultural enterprises (organizations) is carried out. Discussion: the following scientists are involved in these studies: Ovsyannikov V. A. in the article «Comparative statistical analysis of the supply of agricultural equipment to the USSR, Russia and the USA», Konkieva D. V., Zelenina L. I. in the article «Analysis of the supply of agricultural equipment to organizations of the Arkhangelsk region», Markelova E. K., Tikhomirov A. V., Ukhanov V. Yu. in the article «Justification and calculation of average standards of energy costs in agricultural production», Mishchenko K. N. in the article «Analysis of the competitiveness of regional leaders in agricultural machinery in the context of macroeconomic instability», team of authors Voronin B. A., Yusupov M. L., Novopashin L. A., VoroninaYa. V. in the article «Strategic tasks for providing agricultural producers with modern agricultural machinery and equipment», Seregin A. A., Glichikova N. A. in the article «Determination of the regulatory needs for agricultural machines and combines». Conclusion: based on the analysis of agricultural engineering and agricultural production in these years, an algorithm is proposed for developing conditional coefficients for converting agricultural machines into reference units and demand standards in accordance with the development of agricultural machinery.
