Specifics of innovations in the agricultural sector

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities that determine the specifics of innovative development of the agricultural sector of the Russian economy, especially in the conditions of fierce competition in the global market and economic sanctions applied by economically developed countries to Russia. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the demand for increasing the rate of innovation in agriculture in the conditions of sanctions pressure becomes the most acute, since the old forms of production in the previous period have lost their relevance, and the new ones have not yet fully formed and developed. It is concluded that innovation is one of the priority areas not only in practical activity, but also in research, because it is designed to investigate the presence of both failures and achievements in the development of the agricultural sector and its products in the domestic and foreign markets. The study allowed us to identify the determinants that determine the specifics of innovation in the agricultural sector, which were grouped according to certain characteristics. When characterizing the specifics, the presence of fundamental contradictions between the traditional way of life of the agricultural sector and the essence of innovation activity was taken into account.
