Purpose. To develop a methodology for assessing the level of self-sufficiency in food, as a part of a regional management system of the agro-industrial complex. To assess the level of self-sufficiency of the main types of food areas of the Tyumen region. To give practical advice on the development of selected agro-food trends in the areas of the Tyumen region. Methods. In the research the author applied analytical methods, including mathematical and comparative analysis. Results. Based on the analysis of the current situation of food security in Russia the author found out that the development of meaningful indicators, showing the level of self-sufficiency of the regions basic foodstuffs is necessary. It was also revealed that, now, such an indicator in the system of regional management of AIC does not exist. Because of the synthesis of the existing approaches a procedure for self-sufficiency raiting of the regions was suggested. Its testing was conducted on the sample of the Tyumen region.The suggested proprietary technique of the ranking score of basic food self-sufficiency can be used in the system of regional management of agro-industrial complex at the Federal and local level. It can be used to rank areas on their degree of self-sufficiency in basic foodstuffs. This allows you to pay attention to the development of agro food lagging areas and take appropriate management decisions. So, if we look at the results for Uvatskiy district, which occupies the last not counting cities place, it turns out that attention should be paid to development: beef cattle and poultry (low index 0.091), dairy (0), cultivation of cereals and vegetables (0), as well as egg production (0.096). You can also select the extremely low rate of self-sufficiency in fruit and berries: in Omutinskiy district (0.162), Yalutorovskiy (0.147), Ishim (0.165), Berdyuzhskiy (0.119) and other districts. In Yarkovskiy district on vegetables (0). In Tobolskiy district on meat cattle breeding and poultry farming (0.361). In Tobolskiy and Yarkovskiy districts on egg production (performance index 0.132, 0.131). It is clear that these values are very low and certain managerial and organizational interventions to improve self-sufficiency in these areas according to food groups are required. The final rating 0.776 received through the analysis of the situation in Tyumen region shows that the situation in respect of basic food self-sufficiency in general is positive. However, there are reserves, as the maximum possible value of the ranking is 1. In the application of the proposed methodology for the assessment of the situation in different regions of the country, it is possible to make a comparison and evaluate the situation according to the elaboration of appropriate management decisions. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty consists of a comprehensive consideration of regional management issues of industrial and economic activities of basic foods producers.

Purpose. Development of management recommendations to improve the efficiency of grain products sub of Tomsk region. To achieve this goal a number of problems was resolved: an overall assessment of the forecast gross harvest of grain crops in the Tomsk region in 2015; assessment of the prospects for the work of existing mills area; zoning areas of grain crops with a view to optimizing transport costs and the need to increase crop; formation of management recommendations to improve the efficiency of the whole grain products sub of the region. Methods. Economic and statistical methods, mathematical methods, comparative analysis and multi-criteria optimization method «the perfect spot». Results. Currently, Tomsk region can not fully meet its demand for flour. At the same time, the region has good potential for the development of the milling industry. Based on this author zoned the districts and determined places of optimal accommodation of potential flour milling plants. As optimization criteria, author selected following parameters: the average distance to the neighboring regional centers, from where the grain delivery (km); the population of nearby settlements (thousands of people); area of grain crops in the surrounding areas of the region (thousand hectares). Four commodity areas have been identified: Tomsk, Kolpashevo, Kargasoksky, Pervomayskaya with centers in Tomsk, Kolpashevo, Kargasok, Pervomayskaya. Given the need to increase food security were calculated basic indexes needed grain products sub of Tomsk region in order to achieve self-sufficiency by flour. Based on the expected population growth, predictive indicators of grain products sub Tomsk region in the long term until 2030 were calculated. The proposed approach to the management of grain product sub of Tomsk region will allow on the one hand to achieve self-sufficiency for the flour, and on the other hand to increase the overall efficiency, as the producers of cereals and their processors. Scientific novelty. Complex describing the regional management issues of production organization of producers and processors of cereal crops.

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.
