Deversification of crop production as a factor of sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex economy

Abstract

This article explores modern approaches to determining the features of crop production diversification of the agro-industrial complex as a mechanism that affects the process of crop production, which directly affects the efficiency of agricultural producers. The scientific study analyzes statistical data on the main types of agricultural crops (crop production) of the agro-industrial complex, which, according to the authors, make it possible to assess the current situation that contributes to the sustainable development of crop production as one of the important sub-sectors of the agro-industrial complex. For economic analysis, the dynamic changes of such indicators of monocultures in agriculture as the share of wheat, oilseeds and fodder crops in the sown area of the republic from 1990 to 2023 and other statistical data that allow us to assess the impact of certain factors on the sustainable development of agricultural crop production have been studied. The profitability of agricultural crops of the Akmola region has been determined, taking into account their agro-climatic zoning.

Currently, in the agro-industrial complex, the need for deversification in crop production is caused by external factors such as digitalization, the introduction of lean technologies, as well as climatic conditions, which affects the sustainability of the production process of agricultural producers. Taking into account the peculiarities of crop production as a sub-branch of the agro-industrial complex, the authors identified the reasons for the monoculture of wheat in Kazakhstan and the lack of diversification of crop production.
