Abstract

A number of issues related to the functioning of the agrarian market in conditions of increasing export supplies are considered in the paper using the example of the grain sector of the Russian economy, and ways of overcoming possible disproportions in this sphere from the standpoint of national economic efficiency are proposed. The prospects of mutually beneficial Russian-Chinese cooperation in the agrarian sphere are shown.

Prospects for Russian-Chinese cooperation in the food sector.

Stable economic growth at 6–8% or higher, as well as the country’s accession to the WTO, has led to the average earnings of Chinese workers having tripled and reached 3.6 USD/hour over the past ten years. China has already surpassed the largest countries of Latin America in the level of wages and has approached European countries such as Portugal and Greece [11]. Based on this, a middle class, which is striving for the living standards of more developed countries, is being actively formed, which is affecting, among other things, the structure and quality of nutrition. The consumption of meat and dairy products, ecologically clean food products, premium goods, etc., is growing at an accelerating rate.

In addition, in recent years, China has abruptly changed its demographic policy. Because of the rapid aging of the labor force in the country, the famous slogan of one family–one child has been abandoned, and now the authorities even plan to encourage couples to have two children. In 2015–2016, the birth rate in China was at the highest level it has been in the past few decades (17.8 and 18.7 mln newborns, respectively, compared to the average long-term birth rate of 16 mln in the previous period), and this trend is likely to develop further in the future [12].
