many years ago came up with Maslow pyramid, which in order of importance to man has given the necessary good.One of the priorities is the need for food.Food we get through agriculture, which, in turn, is part of the branches of the Agricultural Industrial Complex (AIC).Every year, the global demand for food is growing on a daily basis the number of hungry people increased.With this in mind, and their own internal needs, the Russian agricultural sector is not only for food security within the country, but also supplies the power and beyond.A positive aspect in the agricultural activities of the Federation is the size of the territory and the presence of various temperature regions.This allows you to grow a huge number of products, virtually abandoning imports.
concept of agriculture.Its scope
APC - a harmonious and coordinated work of industries that aim to meet the needs of the population for food.In addition, this tandem provides a variety of raw materials industries, as well as address social issues.
APC - a complex consisting of three spheres.The first combined the industry involved in the direct supply of agricultural means of production it needs.These include machines, equipment, machinery and other different.The second area is agriculture - the largest of the three.Its share in the agricultural sector - not less than 70% of the total complex.Harvesting, transporting, processing, storage, packaging, sale of products made of branches set of the third sector.
So it was a few years ago.At the present stage in the development of the agricultural complex is isolated as a fourth sphere - the infrastructure.It brought together the industry, which alone does not produce any products and materials, but have a huge impact on the lives of people in rural areas.These include: social (schools, kindergartens), service (post office, shops, hairdressers), info (television and radio) and other branches.
subcomplexes and agribusiness units
structure of agro-industrial complex comprises two main sub:
- Food - This division manufactures and sells food products (fruit, vegetables, meat, milk, wine, etc.).
- Raw - this subcomplex industry supplies of agricultural raw materials it needs (cotton, linen, etc.).
agribusiness - is a kind of pyramid, which consists of several steps.The very first element in the formation of this complex served and are still private farms, farms, various agricultural associations and unions.Followed by large cooperatives and collective farms.All of this is combined in agribusiness area, then the region and the country.
Economics agribusiness
APC - a "family" of the combined division of labor sectors, which, depending on the demand for food, trying to satisfy this demand.There is plenty of science that deals with the study of the complex.So, the economy of agrarian and industrial complex to identify best use of various types of resources to produce any final product.Also, this section of the national economy finds ways to improve, develop and improve the efficiency of the complex and all its branches.It defines the economy: intensive or extensive way is the progress in the activities of AIC any country.
In many developed countries, agriculture employs a huge number of people.That is the scale of the AIC affects the welfare, living standards and food security of the country.
