DYNAMICS OF DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL FORMS OF ECONOMICS IN RURAL TERRITORIES
The article presents the results of an analysis of the dynamics of the development of small business forms in rural territories of the Altai Territory. Small forms of management are an important factor in the socio-territorial development of rural territories. Indices of agricultural production, crop production and animal husbandry in small forms of management are shown. Municipalities are grouped, in which farms cultivate more than 50% of the total area of arable land in the district. The dynamics of sown areas in peasant (farmer) farms is described. Agricultural producers have been singled out, which are the sites of excellence and the use of modern technologies and equipment in crop and livestock production. It is concluded that the development of small forms of management contributes to the creation of jobs, the intensification of entrepreneurship in rural areas, and the preservation of rural settlements and the peasant gene pool. At the same time, farms in the Altai Territory are experiencing a number of serious problems, which are primarily associated with the imperfection of the economic mechanism of managing in the agro-industrial complex, underdeveloped land relations, and deficiencies in the system of farming.
