Optimization of the Proportions of Land, Capital and Labor in Agricultural Production in the Northern Regions of the Russian Federation

Annotation

The article examines the dynamics of the proportions of land, capital and labor in the context of agricultural specialization in livestock farming in a technologically interconnected cycle of agricultural production in the Northern regions. It shows that in the economic activities of agricultural enterprises in the Arctic and the North, there is an intensification and expansion of livestock farming and a corresponding change in the composition and structure of the main production funds, but at the same time, attention to field production, in particular to improving the structure of sown areas, including fodder crops, is weakening. The article formulates proposals for improving the proportionality of the main factor components of agricultural production: land, capital and labor. One of the tools for regulating the proportionality of land, capital and labor can be the formation of motives for agricultural organizations to search for specializations leading to the rationalization of the proportionality of the main factors of production. Improvement of the state agro-industrial policy for the Northern regions in terms of rationalization of the proportions of land, capital and labor will increase the efficiency of state regulation of agricultural production development.
