Strategic management of the development of the potential of agribusiness in the regions of Russia

The actualization of the issues of developing the potential of agribusiness in the regions has revealed problems in the field of methods of effective management of this potential. Due to the significant differences that take place not only between the federal districts of the Russian Federation, but also within individual regions, the importance of conducting research at the State level increases, allowing to form basic recommendations not only for standard strategies for effective management of the agro-industrial potential of regions, but also for subsequent evaluation of the effectiveness of this kind of management. The problem developed in the current paper is relevant and timely in the framework of contributing to the speedy solution of the general problem of the development of the country’s agro-industrial complex. The main purpose of the study is to develop a standard procedure for evaluating the effectiveness of the use of agricultural potential in the formation of strategies for the growth of agricultural potential of the regions of the Russian Federation. The main results of the study are: firstly, the author’s definitions of “the agricultural potential of the region” and “the basic resource potential of the region”, and secondly, the sequence of stages of strategic management of the development of the agricultural potential of the region, based on the consideration of the synergetic effect, is presented and justified; thirdly, an approach to the grouping of indicators for assessing the agro-industrial potential on the example of land is formulated. The practical significance of the conducted research lies in the fact that the formulated proposals can be used in the formulation of strategies for the development of the regions of the Russian Federation.
