Development of Agriculture in the Context of Geopolitical Tensions

Abstract

The conditions of instability in the country, due to economic and political aspects, dictate the need to expand and strengthen the agricultural potential that can provide the country’s population with food. Despite geopolitical tensions, domestic agriculture has shown decent results in the past year, with some production volumes reaching scale. The purpose of this study is to study the key trends in the development of agriculture, the emphasis is placed primarily on crop production. Realizing the importance of ensuring food security, the tasks of the state should be to create stimulating conditions for intensifying the process of import substitution. It is necessary to expand the potential of domestic breeding, the development prospects of which are seen in the application of the “triple helix” concept (state-business-science). Providing farmers with highly effective plant protection products is also an important component of the agrarian policy of the state, which ensures, first of all, an increase in production and, as a result, consumption. In 2023, the mechanism of state support is being improved; appropriately raised the issue of adjusting the directions and priorities due to sanctions pressure and a shift in emphasis towards the policy of import substitution.
