Economic potential of the agro-industrial complex of the provincial region

[摘要] The aim of the article is to analyze the economic potential of agro-industrial complex of the provincial region for the case of the Mari El Republic of Russia. A resource approach with the inclusion of a resultant component was used in the study of economic potential in the framework of system analysis. The strengths of the economic potential of the agro-industrial complex of the Mari El Republic are the low cost of labor, the availability of specialized educational institutions and personnel, high productivity and growth of livestock production. The positive dynamics of livestock production was achieved at the expense of state support of the agriculture modernization. The weaknesses of economic potential of the regional agro-industrial complex are the technological backwardness of local agricultural producers, a large share of non-cultivated land, low crop yields, and low level of land chemization. The outflow of population from rural areas and the deficit of the regional budget restrict the development of the sector. The increase in agricultural production is mainly due to the livestock industry. The production of cattle meat and milk are promising to growth paths.
