Abstract

Introduction. The economy of our country has been subject to various crises over the past few years. These cataclysms have had an impact on the Stavropol Krai and, in particular, on agriculture. The development of the agro-industrial complex of the region depends on the selfsufficiency of the population in food products, as well as the overall development of the regional economy.

Goal. Analysis of socio-economic development of agriculture in the pre-crisis, crisis and post-crisis periods and identification of further ways of development of the agro-industrial complex of the region.

Materials and methods. The most significant indicators of agricultural development in the period 2010-2022 are analyzed, i.e. the stable functioning of the regional economy in the pre-crisis period, in times of crisis and its consequences are revealed, as well as the current state. In the process of research statistical and mathematical methods of research and presentation of results in tabular and graphical form were used.

Results and discussion. The Stavropol Krai is overcoming the crisis period with great success and increasing the results of agricultural activity, which are especially characteristic of the livestock sector. The crises have not significantly affected the level of crop yields and the degree of self-sufficiency of the region in terms of agricultural products.

Conclusion. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that over the entire analyzed period, a gradual growth of the economy can be observed, but the recovery from the crisis events may take longer. The main direction of development of agricultural activity in Stavropol Krai is primarily to ensure food security and production of environmentally friendly products.
