System problems of flax growing in Russia and abroad, the possibilities of their solution
The object of research is the flax complex in Russia and abroad. The Russian flax complex includes agrarian farms and enterprises of processing industries (textile, construction, chemical, etc.). The analysis of the crisis situation of raw materials in the Russian flax complex is given: the lack of finance for flax farms, technological backwardness and low technological discipline at the stages of cultivation and primary processing of flax, high costs and uneven quality of the fiber materials. The state of flax complex in the various regions of Russia is reviewed and analyzed. Raw materials, crop area, yield and gross yield of flax, fiber release, flax products market in general, and others are analyzed. The results of the analysis show the causes of the crisis in the agricultural economy, the enterprises of primary processing of flax and textile industries. Stabilization of the gross production of flax (within 40 ths. tons) and yield (9 t / ha) indicates a certain level of break-even production of flax farms. The narrowness of the domestic market of flax products could be offset by access to international markets of flax, including China and India. The influence of the state support programs in the federal and regional levels in the flax manufacturing and linen products for the federal departments and organizations is considered. The state support programs in the federal and regional levels in the flax manufacturing are an effective tool to support flax, but their systematic underfunding and lack of long-term plans of flax-containing product production for federal agencies and organizations (the Russian Federation Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Russian Railways), the so-called state order limits the development of the industry, having considerable potential in the national economy. The ways of increasing the economic efficiency of cultivation and primary processing of flax are offered in the article.
