The study aims to develop a scientific and methodological approach to the formation of a model for managing the international competitiveness of rural areas based on an assessment of the existing ...export and production potential to form priorities for their socio-economic development. Research methods involve a systematic approach, an integrated approach, an algorithmization using methods of integral assessment of competitiveness, etc. The research allowed the development of a conceptual model for managing the international competitiveness of rural regions. The model includes a variable list of determinants and indicators of the formation of competitive advantages of rural territories depending on the export-production potential and strategic goals of their development. The paper presents a model management algorithm and a set of complementary methodological techniques used to assess international and regional competitiveness. The scientific novelty lies in the developed scientific and methodological approaches and practical recommendations for the formation of international and regional competitiveness in rural areas. Moreover, a system of determinants of the competitiveness formation of rural territories and a system of indicators for its assessment have been developed.
The purpose of the study is to determine the optimal volume of fodder and grain-fodder crops of appropriate quality to meet the needs of the livestock industry using a systemic comparative economic ...approach. For the economic assessment of crops for fodder purposes, a systemic comparative economic approach to their production efficiency has been developed. Accounting was carried out according to the three most important indicators in fodder units: quantitative indicators-productivity per hectare of sowing, qualitative-the content of vegetable protein and cost-the production cost. Oats were taken as the primary culture. Their comparison made it possible to determine economically interrelated partial indices, which are reduced to the index of the systemic comparative economic approach, which contributes to optimizing the structure of the cultivated areas of these crops. This technique allows to determine each forage crop's location in each farm or region's conditions, analyzing the real situation and assessing the prospects for the development of production. The optimal structure of sown areas for grain-fodder and fodder crops, focused on the cultivation of high-protein crops, for the enterprises of the Northern forest-steppe zone of the Republic of Bashkortostan is proposed. Due to a change in sown areas' structure, the gross harvest increases by 8%, digestible protein by 2%, and reduced production costs by 48%.
There is a lack of reliable data in agribusiness regarding the economic efficiency of horse breeding, and this limits its further development. The purpose of this study was to create rational ...parameters for the development of productive horse breeding as an effective agricultural business, in particular, in relation to farms.
The methods of investigation used were induction and deduction, as well as analytical, statistical, and economic-mathematical analysis. We also used the dynamics of time series, CVP analysis, direct costing, and microeconomic analysis. Data were taken from the Russian Federation's official statistics on animal husbandry as well as closed (commercial) data of agricultural enterprises from our study region.
Horse ownership in the Republic of Bashkortostan is higher than in the rest of Russia with about 9% of the total number of horses in Russia. We found that landowners need one hectare of arable land to ensure profit and that the highest economic income occurs on farms specializing in kumis production. The production of kumis under intensive farming is less profitable than with free-range horses kept in pastures. Family farms need a large amount of arable land with natural foliage to balance space and profit.
Successful implementation of these parameters will make it possible to turn agriculture into successful horse breeding businesses. The expected volume of agricultural production may be approximately 9-11 thousand US dollars per employee.

Following review of the state of horticulture in Russia and, in particular, Bashkyriya, systems analysis has been applied to enhance incentives to increase greatly the production of orchard fruits, ...berries and grapes. Current incentives do not meet more than a fraction of the costs of establishment of modern, intensive fruit production, which amount to: 224 000 roubles ($US 2 912) per hectare for apple orchards; 463 000 roubles ($6 019) for cherries, 408 000 roubles ($5 304) for currants, 951 000 roubles ($12 363) for strawberries and 900 000 roubles ($11 700) per ha for a vineyard. At the same time, the costs of care before the crop's fruiting period need to be met. Cooperation is needed to protect the interests of agricultural producers; an agricultural cooperative will enable producers to combine forces to procure, process and market their produce.
The purpose of the study is to establish scientific rational for the use of the foresight methodology in the strategic planning of rural development. The scientific novelty of the study is determined ...by the development of an algorithm for strategic planning of rural development based on the foresight methodology and by the formation of a set of practical recommendations for the use of foresight tools at the municipal level of management in rural areas. The paper states that modern foresight methodology is quite flexible and multifaceted. It can be widely applied at different hierarchical levels of management. In our research, we consistently analyzed foresight projects and programs used in the rural management and development forecasting. The use of a systematic approach in combination with foresight technologies allows developing strategic plans for the rural areas development from the perspective of improvement of their economic and social component. The research presents the foresight algorithm of the rural development strategic planning and its implementation mechanism at the municipal level. The main components of the foresight testing procedure of the rural areas economic development were determined on the example of such a classic agricultural region of the Russian Federation as the Republic of Bashkortostan. The results of a comprehensive foresight analysis of alternative scenarios of the rural development have been formed. We summarized that the foresight technologies should be used as a system tool for the formation and implementation of the strategy of the sustainable rural areas development. The main results of the study include summarizing the experience of foresight studies on the rural areas development; design of an algorithm of strategic planning of the rural areas development based on the foresight methodology; the formation of alternative scenarios of the rural areas development at the regional level.
The purpose of the study is to justify the use of the universal scenario method of strategic planning and forecasting the development of the agroindustrial complex of the regional rural economy. The ...scientific novelty of the study lies in the application of a set of theoretical and methodological provisions for scenario planning and forecasting the development of agriculture in the regions, taking into account the assessment of their existing potential and constructing a territorial planning scheme for the priority of participation in the implementation of strategic directions of rural development in agricultural production. The paper presents a territorial model of the priority of participation of the municipal regions of the Republic of Bashkortostan in the implementation of strategic areas in the areas of development of production of grain crops, sugar beet, and oilseeds. The developed scenario method, reflecting the qualitatively heterogeneous directions of the development of enterprises, is formed taking into account the achievement of the strategic goal and potential opportunities of rural areas. This allows determining strategic decisions for the further development of rural areas and integrating them into a uniform industry development strategy. The developed approach is recommended to be used as a guideline in the development of long-term programs for the development of the crop production industry, as well as for adjusting the activities of ongoing programs.
This research aimed to develop methodological approaches that can be applied by agricultural entities to select economic activities in the context of effective and efficient foreign economic ...cooperation. Based on scenario forecasting, the Republic of Bashkortostan's possible agricultural output was calculated. If the potential is fully realized, exports of farm products could increase by $108.3 billion or 68,1 % by 2024. A mechanism for agro-food producers to overcome external and internal market barriers by choosing strategic export products in the region was developed. This will help users predict possible problems of entering foreign markets, estimate the accessibility of a particular market, and the feasibility of foreign economic activities. A step-by-step assessment revealed challenges in formulating the agricultural products export policy for the Republic of Bashkortostan. The identified hurdles require government intervention so that agricultural producers and state authorities can jointly address the challenges.
The strategic development of the agricultural sector in any region should focus on the effective use of production and resource potential to achieve the long-term visualization of "desired" future in ...the context of global economic, technological, social and political challenges. Current socio-economic conditions (urbanization, globalization, digitalization, innovativeness, etc.) require a revision of traditional strategic planning for the development of the agricultural sector in the light of new innovative ways to design regional strategies. The purpose of the study is to improve the methodology of strategic planning in the regional agro-industry based on innovative approaches and its practical testing on the example of one of the regions. The study is conducted on the basis cluster, scenario and project approaches in designing a strategy for the region's agricultural sector. The study solves the following tasks: analysis of methodological approaches and best practices of regional planning; development of a methodological model to design regional strategy for agriculture; testing the proposed methodological approaches and development of possible scenarios for agriculture to achieve the "desired" future on the example of one of the regions. As a result of the study, there is a comprehensive methodological model of regional agro-industry strategy, containing a logical sequence of the strategy designing process and justification for the use of variable approaches at each stage. The practical significance of the research results lies in the possible application of the proposed methodological model to design the agro-industry strategy in any region worldwide with similar conditions of development..
