Analysis of Implementation of Import Substitution Policy on the Russian Agricultural Machinery Market

摘要

The article analyzes the structure of the agricultural machinery market in Russia. The level of development and potential of Russian manufacturers and their involvement in world markets are considered. The problems preventing Russian companies from completely replacing foreign competitors are described, as is the role of the State in solving these problems. An analysis of the implementation of the import substitution policy on the market of agricultural machinery in Russia showed that foreign models of agricultural machinery (mainly from Belarus and China) currently occupy most of the domestic market. Some of them are produced on the territory of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the number of Russian machine-building companies is constantly decreasing and the number of workers in the industry is declining. To solve these problems the directions of support for the Russian agricultural engineering are proposed, which include encouraging investment in leading Russian companies, creating an enabling environment for export development, financing the training of qualified personnel, and reducing the tax burden in mechanical engineering and Agro-Industrial Complex.
