The diagnostics of conditions of spatial arrangement of animal husbandry sub-sectors on a competitive-preferential platform

The paper considers the issues of spatial distribution livestock sub-sectors. In fact, level development sub-sectors in global economy determines both and life expectancy population total intellectual potential nation. authors propose an algorithm for diagnosing conditions arrangement agricultural production branches. peculiarity proposed approach is deep elaboration issue internal zoning RF constituent entities. includes assessment qualitative quantitative indicators allows identifying existing potentially possible specialization natural-economic zones. During study, identified reserve opportunities priority animal husbandry key problems hindering their development. scientific abstraction method economic statistical methods were calculation analytical tools. developed industries on a competitive-preferential platform based regional strategic planning documents. was tested example Rostov region as one major geostrategic near-border regions Russia characterized by significant distortions sectoral structure high export-oriented field crop production. results study allowed revealing hidden competitive advantages individual natural zones main types products. proved that industry are largely determined climatic modern technologies application.
