Abstract
The search for new solutions in government's promotion of AFSC's sustainability in modern global transformations justifies the need to manage at the macro level not only discrete elements of the complex infrastructure of agricultural production, but necessitates the management of agricultural products based on the development of a system of methods that make this material flow manageable and most effective at the country level. Therefore, the actual logical necessity is the need to develop a concept of government's promotion of AFSC's sustainability, which transforms understanding of logistics as a tool for supply, production, and sales into a tool for regulators of dynamic processes of the logistics system of production, storage, distribution, and consumption of agricultural products on world markets. The basis of implementing the conception of the government's promotion of AFSC's sustainability is its objective function – ensuring stable and links of the state with participants in the logistics system of production, storage, distribution, and consumption of agricultural products.
TopIntroduction
Most of the social sciences and scientific concepts go through a long way of development, as long as the formulated rules and methods are recognized as a scientific discipline. For a long time, Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LSCM) as a science was not isolated into an independent scientific course, and tasks related to logistics were solved using management tools separately. Some scientists note that “as a result of practical application the concept of logistics in the theory of management began to form an idea of logistics as a field of management with pronounced, specific management functions. Logistics development is an objective process caused by changes taking place in the markets, and their reflection is the change of stages of logistics development. Despite the lack of consensus on the duration of individual stages of development logistics, common in all studies is the allocation of the main stages (periods)” (Reznikov, 2014).
Agricultural industry in the world is complemented by a new trend of changing the grain balance of the country towards the stabilization of domestic consumption, reducing the economic feasibility of further increasing the shifting stocks of grain resources and concentrating efforts on meeting the growing external demand. The steady preservation of these proportions in the 2000s is an indicator of the current trend formation of grain resource flows towards an increase in grain exports. Scientific and practical assessment of this empirical shift actualized the need for analysis factors, hindering the balanced development of agricultural production and the effective organization of food distribution in the country.
The main part of such factors in the modern period is determined by the unsatisfactory state of the logistics infrastructure of the agricultural food market (elevator and port facilities, transport infrastructure facilities). The objective need to overcome the prevailing negative trends stimulates the need for comprehensive development the infrastructure of the agricultural food market, the creation of sustainable institutional growth mechanisms, which should be considered as a basic factor in optimizing the functioning of the agricultural industry. The solution of this problem is complicated by the fact of Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), which stimulates the growth and competition of agricultural food importers and exporters in the world market, increasing the need to improve the quality of domestic grain exports and its diversification.
Government's promotion of AFSC’s sustainability in modern global transformations is a system of influence of authorized state institutions through measures of administrative and organizational and legal impact on the activities of economic entities.
In scientific research, the question of the extent and proportions to which state regulation should be carried out remains unresolved. In the opinion of some scientists, “everything depends on the specifics of the economy of a particular country and even the region and region within a particular country”.
The state should create conditions for the implementation of entrepreneurial activity in conditions of at least relative fairness using a system of administrative and economic methods of regulation and promotion.
If the mechanisms of Government's promotion of AFSC’s sustainability is not debugged or do not work, then there are doubts about the need for such state promotion. If the system of measures is in effect, it becomes possible to respect the interests of all participants in market relations.”
In Russia, it seems that there are all the necessary conditions for domestic agriculture, and the grain complex, in particular, not only to provide the country's population with basic types of food, but also in the foreseeable future to be one of the guarantors of world food security.
The dominant role in the implementation of the mechanisms of Government's promotion of AFSC’s sustainability belongs to the state, taking into account its specific position and functions, such as legislative, executive, economic.
The infrastructural and economic disconnection of links in the agricultural production system, the slowdown in the market institutionalization of logistics channels for food distribution, the strategically ineffective adjustment of the targets of the state management mechanism and the reorganization of economic relations of agricultural food market entities identify a critical decline in the level of state participation in the development of the food market and ensuring national food security, where the theoretical and methodological basis for the coordinated expansion of forms and directions of state support for the industry should be the Government's promotion of AFSC’s sustainability.
Key Terms in this Chapter
State Regulation: State regulation generally refers to the rules, laws, and policies established by a government at the state level to oversee and control various aspects of society.
Agriculture Logistics: Agriculture logistics involves the planning, coordination, and management of the various processes and activities related to the production, storage, transportation, and distribution of agricultural products. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficient and timely movement of goods from farms to consumers, contributing to the overall success of the agricultural supply chain.
Modern Global Transformation: The term "modern global transformation" typically refers to the ongoing and dynamic changes occurring on a global scale in various aspects of human society. This transformation is influenced by a range of interconnected factors, including technological advancements, economic shifts, geopolitical dynamics, cultural changes, and environmental challenges.
State Logistics Management: State logistics management refers to the planning, coordination, and optimization of the movement and storage of goods and services within the boundaries of a specific state or region. This involves various processes and activities aimed at ensuring efficient and effective transportation, distribution, and storage of resources.
