THE DISTRIBUTION OF AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE REGION ACCORDING TO THE CRITERIA OF BUSINESS ENTITIES AND THE RESULT OF THE RANKING
Over the past more than two decades, agriculture has developed a mixed economy. Under the influ-ence of institutional changes, integrated formations have been developed. Their creation and development are influ-enced by factors that are multidirectional in their effect, including private ownership of the means of production, an unstable market and state support for agriculture. On the basis of integration interaction there is a distribution of re-sources and exchange of products between agricultural and processing enterprises, which contributes significantly to the increase of food supply in the subjects of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the accumulation of positive chang-es in the agricultural sector of the economy is slow. Integration in the context of imperfect market relations is a tool to support enterprises when their economy is in unfavorable conditions. The problem of the efficiency of agricultural or-ganizations in the system of integrated structures is an integral part of the problem of improving their financial and eco-nomic stability, as well as creating conditions for expanded reproduction in agriculture. Modern forms and mechanisms of integration aimed at reconciling the interests of agricultural enterprises and processing industry differ fundamentally from the Soviet practice. The nature of integration processes is influenced by macroeconomic factors. These include the systemic crisis of the economy, underdeveloped market infrastructure, lack of targeted support from the state, including the provision of the legislative framework. The article presents an analysis of the economic state of integrated structures in the region, a rating assessment of the effectiveness of their functioning according to the criteria of business entities. Methodology for distribution of agricultural organizations on the subjects of entrepreneurship with the use of rating matrix and testing provide an opportunity to assess the extent of integrated activities and to determine the contribution of the participants of the integrated formations in the agrarian economy.
