Abstract

All countries of the world recognize the need for systemic modernization and renewal of the agricultural sector of their country, realizing that this is a solution to the problem of combating hunger, strengthening food independence and state security. The agro-industrial complex of Russia creates its material and technical base in difficult economic, financial, social conditions, in the environment of global challenges and risks, economic sanctions of the EU countries and the USA. Responding to these challenges, modern agricultural production, its material and technical base, must be oriented towards innovative development. There is a close correlation between the level of development of the material base of the industry, an increase in labor productivity in the agricultural sector and the standard of living of the population. The active part of fixed assets is most susceptible to physical and moral wear and tear, which means that its rate is much higher, therefore, in the process of renovation and modernization, this element should be given the closest attention. In the region under study, there is a steady tendency to reduce the active part of non-current assets, which leads to an increase in current costs and a decrease in production efficiency. To study the dynamics of change and measure the parameters and rates of renewal and write-off of equipment in time, it is proposed to apply the “coefficient (indicator) of renewal of equipment and technologies”.
