REGULATION OF GRAIN RESERVES IN RUSSIA: STOCK DYNAMICS

Abstract

Grain reserves are a strategically important element of Russia's food security. Effective regulation of these reserves has a direct impact on the price level and stability of product supplies both on the domestic and foreign markets. However, in the current economic conditions, there is a need to regularly rethink approaches to managing the country's grain resources. The work used the comparative analysis method, the statistical generalization method and the systems approach to assessing the factors influencing the formation of reserves. Data from professional publications and official statistics, including graphic materials from the pole.rf magazine, were involved. The analysis showed significant fluctuations in the volume of grain reserves due to seasonality, yield fluctuations and the influence of external economic factors. At the same time, the policy of price regulation and government interventions have a noticeable impact on the formation of reserves in critical periods. In recent years, there has been a trend towards more flexible regulation and careful use of intervention purchases. To ensure sustainable development of the grain market, it is necessary to improve the mechanisms of state support and monitoring of reserves, taking into account the regional specifics of production and processing. Regular updating of reserves, implementation of digital management solutions and optimization of warehouse infrastructure will improve the efficiency of grain resource regulation.
