Spatial development of the national fruit and berry market

Abstract

Subject. The issues of spatial development of the fruit and berry market become especially important due to the increasing asymmetry in the development of administrative-territorial units of the state, strengthening of globalisation processes with simultaneous regionalisation and integration of markets. They lead not only to changes in socio-economic components, but also have a significant impact on the development of space, leading to its transformation. Objectives. To enhance theoretical provisions concerning the spatial development of the fruit and berry market and to determine the trends in the spatial development of this market in Russia. To propose measures to improve the efficiency of fruit and berry market development in terms of the spatial aspect. Methodology. We used the following methods of scientific knowledge to achieve our goals: dialectical; analysis, synthesis, and comparison. In the process of research, various literature sources were studied: periodicals, monographs, and statistical digests. Conclusions. Conclusions were drawn about the spatial development of the fruit and berry market as a combination of changes that improve food supply to the population of certain territories. The research revealed significant spatial differentiation in both production (supply) and consumption (demand) of fruits and berries. Theoretical and analytical research allowed us to conclude that it is necessary to support demand (generate demand) and supply (stimulate producers in different categories) of the domestic fruit and berry market.
