Abstract

The problem of the effectiveness of the sanctions mechanism in the modern world is acute. Currently, Western countries have introduced six packages of sanctions against the Russian economy. However, not all types of sanctions are negative for Russian enterprises. Food counter-sanctions introduced by Russia in 2014 had a positive impact on agricultural production in the country. Thanks to them, to a large extent, it was possible to eliminate the negative consequences of the 1990s. in agriculture. The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of counter-sanctions on agricultural production in 2014-2019. As part of this work, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: - determine the change in the volume of agricultural production in 2014-2019 in the conditions of the Samara region; - to analyse the change in the system of state support for agricultural production; - to identify factors that affect the performance of agricultural producers. During the period of counter-sanctions (even with a decrease in the amount of state support), it was possible to increase crop yields, put unused arable land into circulation, and renew the machine and tractor fleet of agricultural enterprises).
