CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS OF MORTGAGE LENDING MARKET MANAGEMENT IN RUSSIA

Abstract

Purpose. To develop management recommendations for improving efficiency of the beet sugar subcomplex of the Nizhny Novgorod region. To achieve the goal, a number of problems have been resolved: overall assessment of the sugar beet forecast gross harvest in the Nizhny Novgorod region in 2014; assessment of current prospects of the Sergach sugar factory; sugar beet areas zoning in terms of optimizing transport costs and the need to increase planting; development of management recommendations to improve efficiency of the whole beet sugar subcomplex. Methods. Economic and statistical methods, mathematical and comparative analysis methods, V. Launhardt’s location triangle method have been used in this paper. Results. At present the beet sugar industry of Nizhny Novgorod region does not meet the internal demand of the local population for this important product. At the same time the need to achieve self-sufficiency is urged by a number of external and internal factors, the main of which is the need to increase food security of the region and Russia as a whole. While solving this problem, the necessity of the Sergach sugar factory reconstruction and increasing its production capacity up to the level of 4400 tons per day has been justified. Also, sugar beet planting area in the region should be increased up to 30.1thousand hectares. In terms of optimal transport costs, area distribution included the allocated raw material supply zone for the factory. The proposed approach to management at the Nizhny Novgorod regional sugar beet subcomplex will allow, on the one hand, to achieve sugar self-sufficiency of the population and, on the other hand, to increase the overall efficiency of both sugar beet growers and processors. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty lies in comprehensive consideration of the regional management issues of organization of production and economic activities of sugar beet growers and processors.
