| Popis: | Th e paper provides an analysis of the last two decades Russian agricultural sector development. Th e main ob- jective of the paper is to highlight the main changes which occurred. Th e paper is also identifying the role of agriculture in the Russian economy and society development. On the basis of the results coming from the paper, it is possible to charac- terize the Russian agriculture as follows. After a signifi cant decline in the early 90s and the long process of transformation, the Russian economy including agricultural sector is starting to recover and it is stabilizing. Th e slowdown of the Russian agricultural performance was stopped (the millstone is the year 2000). At present, the Russian agrarian sector is under the process of recovery especially because of the massive state support (market protection and subsidies coming into agricultu- re). Agriculture is an important part of the Russian economy. Russia is characterized by large areas of agricultural land, one third of its population lives in the rural areas. Th e Russian Federation produces many of agricultural products and foodstu- ff s. However, the country is not self-suffi cient in many products. Th e highest level of the import dependence is observed for meat, vegetables and fruits. Primary products dominate in the structure of Russian exports. Food and agricultural products amount for about only 2% of the Russian total export. Th e share of agricultural products in the Russian import is more signifi cant and it amounts to 14%. However, in 2000s, there is a signifi cant growth of the foreign trade turnover due to the expansion of both imports and exports. Currently, Russia is seeking not only to achieve a high level of self-suffi ciency in basic agricultural products, but also it is trying to be a signifi cant driver in the area of the international trade in agricultural products and foodstuff s. |
