REPRODUCTION OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY IN INTEGRATED AGRO-INDUSTRIAL FORMATIONS
The article deals with the issues of reproduction of agricultural machinery in integrated agro-industrial formations (IAIF). It is revealed that in integrated structures the centralization of financial resources creates real opportunity for expanded reproduction of machine-tractor fleet, and production in integrated agro-industrial formations is based on the introduction of achievements of scientific and technical progress, advanced technology and innovations. It is shown that at present IAIFs compared to other agricultural enterprises are more motivated at expanded reproduction of the material and technical base and mainly agricultural machinery. Also IAIFs are increasingly using various forms, methods and tools of state regulation and support. The author analyzes indicators of reproduction of machine-tractor fleet in IAIFs and provides the basic guidelines for ensuring continuous process of reproduction of agricultural machinery in IAIFs.
