Organizational and economic aspects of selection and seed production of the South of Russia

The purpose of this research is to analyze the seed market, selection and seed production in Krasnodar Territory. Effective sales of seed products are becoming a competitive advantage for developing companies. In modern economic conditions, the development of market relations in the grain industry and the seed market has disrupted the selection process, leading to a sharp drop in grain production of individual crops. It was reflected in the increase in the sowing of the grain crop area with low quality seeds and seeds of mass reproductions, reducing the volume of harvested seeds for the state resources, the suspension of seed circulation and violation of the seed renovation, the ordinary transition of farms to provide seeds of their own production. Conclusions are made and forecasts for domestic agricultural producers are determined based on the current market dynamics. The guidelines for state support of the industry are indicated to solve the problems which the Ministry of Agriculture has developed as a Strategy of the development of selection and seed production of major agricultural crops until 2020. The necessity of cooperation between business, educational and scientific institutions of agricultural profile in solving the problem of providing high-quality seeds to agricultural producers is substantiated.
