MAIN PRIORITIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERREGIONAL AND INTERSTATE FOOD RELATIONS OF SIBERIA’S REGIONS

Abstract

Methodical positions for priority development of interregional and interstate food relations are justified. They include estimation of the current state and layout of AIC industries; definition of efficiency of existing interregional and interstate food relations and their influence upon functioning of agrofood market; justification for the system of measures to improve the formed food relations subject to Russia’s membership in WTO. Stemming from the methodical positions, Siberia’s regions are determined which have the opportunity to export grain and livestock output beyond their territories. It is established that the level of interdependence of Siberia’s regions on goods exchange operations is quite high. It is revealed that at the present time there is no strategy of development of foreign-economic relations of Siberia’s regions to frontier countries. Insufficiently developed is the regulatory-legal base of interstate cooperation, there are no special programs for the development of regional export potential, personnel training and infrastructure development. The study resulted in perspective directions suggested for the development of foreign-economic activity in Siberia.
