Integral assessment of the level of agricultural development in the Krasnodar region

Abstract

Importance: exponential population growth, demographic trends and increasing levels of urbanization highlight the critical need for a sustainable agricultural sector. One of the main regions of the domestic agro-industrial complex is the Krasnodar Territory. Thanks to favorable natural conditions, a developed transport network and a high degree of plowed farmland, the Krasnodar region has been a leader in the turnover of agricultural organizations and agricultural yields for several years. Based on this, in order to carry out diagnostics and identify trends, the agro-industrial complex of the Krasnodar Territory is the subject of research in this work. Purpose: conduct an integral assessment of the level of development of agriculture in the Krasnodar Territory over a ten-year period according to five key parameters. Research design: based on the fact that conducting an integral assessment allows one to obtain generalized, objective and reliable results, it has wide scientific application. Particular attention in the work is paid to the stages of integral assessment and research of key parameters reflecting the general level of development of agriculture in the region with further classification of the integral indicator. Results: based on the results obtained during the integral assessment, a ranking of parameters was carried out to identify the most and least favorable periods for the region’s agriculture. According to the results of the study, a high level of agricultural development was observed in the 2021 and 2022 stages, the lowest level was identified in the 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2020 stages. Thus, a positive trend in the development of agriculture in the region was identified.
