Crisis in the Agricultural Sector: Unprofitability and the Need for Optimization

High interest rates and overstocking of produce are only exacerbating the situation. According to Rosstat, total agricultural losses increased by 12.4% over the first three quarters, reaching 129.6 billion rubles. Forecasts for 2026 are bleak, as government funding for the agro-industrial complex (AIC) is expected to be cut, making the sector's development even more difficult. The only path to improvement remains the introduction of new technologies and the modernization of production processes, which may offer hope for the future.
