MAIN PROBLEMS OF FOOD PROCESSING ENTERPRISES AND THEIR SOLUTIONS

Abstract

The stability and security of the food system are key factors in the quality of life of the population. The purpose of the study is to develop mechanisms to ensure the stability and security of the food system of Kazakhstan, taking into account the solution of current urgent problems.

To achieve the goals, the authors used methods of statistical, expert and comparative analysis. The results obtained were achieved through the use of systematic and constructive approaches. The analysis of changes in prices for socially significant food products in the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period 2016-2022 was also carried out, the ratio between the volume of production per capita and the rate of food consumption per capita was studied. In conclusion, the authors make proposals for sufficient provision of the population with socially significant types of food on the basis of strengthening the activities of processing enterprises with the support of the state, taking into account the level of specialization of the regions. It is assumed that the authors' recommendations will solve such urgent problems as the low share of domestic agricultural products in the domestic market, the decline in the country's export potential, the lack of stable sources of income for rural budgets, the inefficiency of the mechanism for the sale of agricultural products, the low share of the introduction of innovative technologies in the development of the agro-industrial complex.
