Abstract

Ensuring the technological sovereignty of the country, achieving a food independence is associated with the development of the fertiliser market. The conducted research points to the formed market of mineral fertilisers with stable supply and demand, with a focus on export operations. There is no organised market for organic fertilisers in Russia. Production on an industrial scale has not been established, although all the prerequisites are present, in particular, a sufficiently powerful resource and raw material base. During the period from 2009 to 2021, the volume of solid manure decreased from 105.95 million tons to 86.64 million tons, semi-liquid from 117.02 million tons to 109.13 million tons, liquid manure increased from 38.68 million tons to 87.62 million tons. There is an urgent need for the production and application of organic fertilisers, as indicated by the negative balance of humus in the soil from 3.14 to 6.26 million tons d.v. It is proposed to develop an organisational and technological mechanism for the development of the organic fertiliser market. The conceptual apparatus of the mechanism is presented, organisational and technological components are defined. In order to justify the placement of organic fertiliser production, it is proposed to use the optimal localisation of processing enterprises based on the theories of production placement. The technologies of applying organic fertilisers are substantiated, a modern set of technical means developed using high-tech technologies and tested at agar enterprises in the south of Russia is proposed. Full-fledged application of high-quality organic fertilisers contributes to the restoration of soil fertility, increasing the yield of agricultural crops.
