Assessment of the territorial concentration of the beet sugar subcomplex in Russia
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The article examines the features of the territorial location of the beet sugar sub-complex in Russia, which affects its sustainability. The beet sugar sub-complex occupies an important place in the structure of the agro-industrial complex, since beet sugar is one of the key types of food used both independently and in the food industry. In the context of declining real incomes of the population, ensuring affordable sugar prices is becoming one of the priority socio-economic tasks. One of the ways to ensure a sustainable volume of sugar beet cultivation as a strategically important food destination may be the territorial diversification of crops, which will minimize the impact of natural and climatic conditions on the harvest. Today, the main area of sugar beet cultivation is the Central part of Russia, and the Krasnodar territory is the leader in terms of crop size. The study analyzed the geographical distribution of the development of the beet sugar sub-complex in Russia in 2016-2024. and the grouping of the main beet-growing regions by crop size in 2024. During the work, it was found that in 2024, 45.1 million tons of sugar beet were harvested in Russia, which is significantly lower than the level of the previous year, even despite the expansion of the acreage. This is a consequence of a drop in crop yields in 2024 to 386 c/ha. Today, as before, the regions of the Central part of the country play a crucial role in the cultivation of sugar beet, in particular, the Central Federal District, the Volga Federal District and the Southern Federal District, which account for more than 90% of crops. The grouping of the main beet–growing regions by crop size showed that more than half of the sugar beet produced in the country falls on large regions with crops of more than 100 thousand hectares in 2024, but yields in this group are slightly lower than in the other two.
