Growth is Possible Despite Sanctions

DOI: 10.33917/es-1.205.2026.84-93

The author discusses the priority areas for development of the agro-industrial complex of the Saratov region in the context of foreign economic restrictions at the example of the Volga Federal District (VFD). Based on the analysis of statistical data and assessment methods, the possibility to provide equal conditions for agricultural production in the Volga Federal District is substantiated. The paper presents an assessment of the effectiveness of the region’s participation in government program activities. Particular attention is paid to the role of state support and co-financing mechanisms as ways to increase sustainability of the regional agro-industrial complex (AIC). It is noted that even under the pressure of sanctions, it is possible to increase exports, introduce innovative technologies and strengthen the region’s food security.
