INFRASTRUCTURE AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX (based on the materials of the Novosibirsk region)

Abstract

This article examines the role of infrastructure in the development of competitiveness of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) on the example of the Novosibirsk region. The purpose of the work is to deepen theoretical knowledge about the importance of infrastructure and its impact on competitiveness, as well as to identify its features. It is also necessary to study the role of infrastructure in increasing the competitiveness of the agro-industrial complex on the example of the Novosibirsk region. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set and solved: the works of scientists on the research topic were analyzed and supplemented, official statistical documents related to this topic were studied, an independent survey of local farmers was conducted, which allowed a deeper understanding of the current situation and identified infrastructure deficiencies faced by local farmers. Various general scientific methods were used in the research process, such as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, and others. As a result, the main types and subspecies of infrastructure that directly affect the competitiveness of the agro-industrial complex were identified, and the most problematic places in the infrastructure related to the work of the agro-industrial complex of the Novosibirsk region were identified. Based on the data obtained, recommendations were developed aimed at improving the competitiveness of the agro-industrial complex of the region.
