The second problem for Russian agriculture is financing. The state support level in the country is well below than financing in European countries. And even founds allocated within the World Trade Organization do not always reach farmers and agricultural organizations. Moreover, this money sometimes is not used effectively.
High extent of exhaustion and shortage of agricultural machinery is the third problem. Russian farmers are not able to compete with European indicators because of low machinery productivity. This problem may be solved only after solution of a problem with financing.
And finally the 4th problem is human factor such as problems with management and knowledge. Not all managers and chiefs are aimed at efficiency. As a result in the same climatic zone and the same region yield in one farm can be significantly higher than in other collective farm.
Fortunately, all these problems are solved by arrangement of favorable and concessionary conditions of agribusiness leading. That step will join active part of populations to Russian agriculture.
