This article discusses the outcomes of a quantitative analysis using econometric panel data models of the competitiveness of grains in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The analysis was based on the public authorities’ statistics of EAEU countries as well as the United Nations Comtrade Database, which is a repository of official international trade statistics. The results of the analysis allowed us to assess the level of competitiveness of the agricultural products produced in EAEU countries and to determine the extent to which various factors affect the competitiveness. The research conclusions can be used to develop and adjust the agricultural policy in the EAEU.

Наращивание производства органической продукции растениеводства в сельскохозяйственных организациях возможно только при условии рационального размещения сельскохозяйственных культур, в основе которого лежит оценка экономической эффективности производства продовольственных культур и влияния факторов на размещение производства органической продукции. Факторы, влияющие на размещение производства органической продукции разделены на пять групп, в разрезе которых определены степень и вектор влияния. При этом каждый фактор может иметь двоякую оценку как способствующую, так и сдерживающую размещение производства с указанием степени воздействия (высокая, средняя и низкая). По выделенным группам факторов, определены возможные изменения, которые могут произойти в краткосрочной и долгосрочной перспективе и оказать положительное воздействие на размещение производства. Описана методика обоснования развития специализации и размещения производства продукции растениеводства, на основании которой можно определять перспективы размещения производства продукции...

The paper is devoted to the study of the features and factors of location of producers of organic crop production on the territory of the Russian Federation. The authors studied the current state of organic agriculture in Russia, the availability of land and other types of resources for the development of this area in the agricultural sector; groups of regions were identified according to the degree of concentration of organic producers; a system of factors influencing the development of organic agriculture was determined, including socio-economic, environmental and climatic conditions; their differentiation by regions of Russia is established. The initial information for the study was the data published by the official statistical organizations, the National Organic Union, in the form of time series and categorical data. The methods used for statistical groupings, analytical alignment of dynamic series, correlation and regression analysis, etc., made it possible to establish the directions for the development of organic crop production in Russia, taking into account the existing economic and natural conditions.
