Institutional trends of Russian agriculture as problems and advantages of development

It is established that the increase in the level of food security in Russia refers to the institutional problems of the economy. It is assumed that the long-standing reproductive imbalances in the economy may manifest themselves differently in the conditions of sanctions and changes in the institutional policy of the state. The purpose and objectives of the study were to analyze the positions of various authors regarding new trends in the development of the institutional factor in their countries. Institutional trends in the Russian economy, including agriculture, are evaluated. The depth of manifestation and the temporal extent of the most important institutional trends are determined: the trend to preserve small-scale production, imbalances in the development of crop production and animal husbandry, the imbalance of prices of agricultural producers and prices of products consumed by them, the uneven spatial development of Russian regions. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the main structural imbalances and contradictions in the institutional development of agriculture are systematized. To develop a proactive regulatory impact, it is recommended that the authorities and management monitor some new reproductive proportions.
