Abstract

The article studies methodological approaches for evaluation of competitiveness of directions of development of organic crop production on the basis of actual ideas of agricultural scientific thought about sustainable development, influence and relationship of factors of production—capital and labor—on economic stability of objects functioning in the agricultural system, in the production of agricultural crop production. A systematic approach has been developed to quantify the competitiveness of the operation of various facilities at the level of farms using the organic production system and of the industrial type in the internal Russian organic market. The results show the possibilities of regulating the production of crop organic products in the region, using the possibilities of state support. With regard to the development of organic crop products, trade-offs are characteristic of the relationship between the material and environmental interests of the enterprises producing these products. Based on the methodology of a systematic approach, when solving the problem of developing the production of organic crop products, it is possible to consider such production as a system of processes that ensure its sustainable development, balance of economic, environmental and social interests.
