Problems of price stabilization in rice farming: regulation of the cost of goods

Flattened rice is included in the list of socially important food products of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and ensuring its price availability for the country's population is an important priority. The goal is to determine the close relationship between the cost and yield of rice cereals as the main criterion for the quality of raw rice, to establish the components necessary for the cultivation of this crop, to assess their impact on the variety of raw materials. Methods - determination of production costs for obtaining unrefined rice for the price of processed rice, regression analysis when determining the relationship between the prices of unprocessed grain and the harvest from 1 hectare based on data over the past 7 years; correlation analysis-determination of the degree of relationship between the cost of output from a hectare and the payment for the main resources used. The results show a regression correlation between the payment level of the mass of ground and raw rice, as well as the rates and productivity of the mass of grain before processing. The feedback between the volume of harvesting and the costs of its cultivation is shown: when reducing or stabilizing the cost of rice Groats, the tendency to increase the cost of fertilizers and herbicides is accompanied by a decrease in the starting material and stagnation of efficiency indicators. Conclusions - the need for state structures to conduct annual price monitoring of products of the rice industry, which makes it possible to predict a deficit or surplus of these goods on the market and establish barriers to their free circulation. State control of trade allowances by traders for domestic and imported assortment, including herbicides, mineral fertilizers, agricultural machinery and other means of production, is proposed. The need to increase the amount of subsidies for fuel and lubricants and other inventory for sowing and harvesting operations was noted.
