The state and development trends of meat and poultry farming in the Sverdlovsk region under conditions of foreign economic restrictions

External economic restrictions, including the refusal to supply imported machinery, equipment, spare parts, seeds, etc., can have a significant impact on the sustainability of domestic agriculture and the effectiveness of the development of individual sub-sectors. The purpose of the study is to analyze the current development of poultry farming in the Sverdlovsk region and the impact of external economic restrictions on its sustainable development. The scientific novelty consists in establishing the patterns of development of poultry meat farming organizations in the Sverdlovsk region in the period after the introduction of strict foreign economic restrictions (sanctions). The research methods were the analysis of data on the production and financial activities of agricultural organizations of the Sverdlovsk region for 2019-2023, as well as analytical data of Rosstat for the Sverdlovsk region. The results of the study were conclusions about the development of poultry meat farming in the Sverdlovsk region. The efficiency indicators of poultry production in 2023 compared to 2019 have improved significantly, the average daily gain of poultry increased by 5.4%; labor intensity of 1 centner of weight gain decreased by 7.2%. Profit from the sale of poultry gain for the analyzed period increased by almost 1.8 times from 0.9 to 1.6 billion rubles. It should be noted that the gross production of poultry gain decreased by 20.8%, which is caused by a decrease in the poultry population. To assess the sustainability of external economic constraints, the market growth rate/success rate matrix was used, taking into account both internal and external factors in the development of the analyzed industry. The analysis shows that the sanctions pressure on the industry in 2022 had a significant impact, despite this, poultry farming adapted in 2023 and showed excellent results. Based on the study, conclusions were made and specific recommendations were given related to the sustainable development of poultry farming in the region and the creation of adaptive properties in the context of external economic constraints.
