Agricultural Market in Russia. ..

Research objective:

To review the Russian agricultural market



Structure of the research:



1. The research covers main problems of agricultural sector.

2. General characteristics of the sector, in which agricultural products, material, technical basis, area under crop and investment cost in the sector are investigated.

3. Research of agricultural sector is carried out through plant cultivation and animal breeding sub-sectors, where major factors and challenges of agricultural sector development are thoroughly examined.

4. The particular attention is given to Federal State Statistic Service Data review.

5. Analysis of major economic and financial indices of agricultural organizations is carried out (profit, efficiency and solvency).

6. All prospective trends are outlined and examined in detail.



The research involves 22 tables, 31 charts and 10 graphs.





Methods:



Monitoring of print and electronic media, review of Federal State Statistic Service, Customs Service Data, analysis of corporate figures and major agricultural web sites.



Excerpts from the Research:



1. The products volume of all agricultural organizations made up 1.617 billion rubles in 2006. The largest part of the total volume was produced by private sector.

2. Shortening of areas under crop averagely by 1.8 % per year, but the general trend of crop yield level rising in the period between 2000 and 2006 can be observed.

3. The number of agricultural organizations reduced by 10.5 % in 2005 and made up 26.579 against 2001.
