Institute of System Researches in Agroindustrial Complex of the NAS of Belarus offers consumers and organizations in the agro-industrial complex a Methodology for forming a list of agricultural products requiring state support under an outsourcing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

The methodology for developing a list of agricultural products requiring state support consists of a study of state support for agriculture as it applies to specific types of agricultural production. This methodology includes a methodology for developing a list of agricultural products requiring state support, including stages for substantiating products for which product-specific support measures are appropriate, identifying and substantiating criteria for assessing the need for such support.

B2B market product.

Shortcomings of the current product-specific support mechanism (compared to that described in the methodology).

The implementation of the price support mechanism does not meet the conditions for its effective application: regulated prices are set below average domestic sales prices and reference foreign trade prices for most agricultural products.

There is a shift in support for agricultural producers toward enterprises processing agricultural raw materials, suppliers of industrial products, labor, and services to farmers, etc.

Subsidy (surcharge) payments are made by local authorities without observing the principle of consistency in the distribution of local budget funds across regions and products. Foreign methodologies are unacceptable for the Republic of Belarus because they do not take into account the specifics of its agricultural sector.

The information is published in the Catalogue "Developments of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus in the Interests of the Agro-Industrial Complex of the Republic of Belarus" (pp. 422-423). (in Russian)

The product is competitive – it has no analogues on the domestic market.

The recommendations have been submitted to the clients—the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Belarus. Successful testing was carried out at the Druzhbinets agricultural enterprise (Vitebsk Region, Senno District).

The Institute of System Researches in Agroindustrial Complex of the NAS of Belarus is a flagship research institute in the field of the country's agricultural economy, accumulating cutting-edge developments and approaches for successful work in modern conditions.

The Institute participates in the development of agrarian reform concepts, food security concepts, and the doctrine of national food security for the Republic of Belarus until 2030. It also contributes to the development of state rural development programs, sectoral programs, strategies for the development of agriculture and rural regions, strategies for the development of foreign economic activity in the agro-industrial complex, substantiation of export and import forecasts for agricultural products and food products, and methodological recommendations and proposals for improving the organizational and economic mechanisms for the development of agro-industrial production, increasing its efficiency and competitiveness.
