Agricultural sector diversification: research based on the Herfindal index

Currently, such factors as the high dependence of the economy on the oil sector, instability of world prices for raw materials, insufficient level of technological development of the agroindustrial complex of Kazakhstan, as well as a low degree of diversification of agricultural production have a negative impact on the sustainable economic modernization of Kazakhstan. The goal is to analyze the role of agriculture in the process of multidisciplinary transformation of the economic model of the republic and determine its contribution to reducing the direction of raw materials. The agricultural sector, which has significant potential for ensuring financial balance, the growth of regional initiatives and strengthening the country's food security, was chosen as the object of scientific research. Methods - linear regression was used to assess the impact of the specific weight of the agricultural sector on the formation of an effective resource system, as well as the Herfindal index in order to quantify the level of market concentration of economic processes. The analysis is based on official statistical data characterizing the dynamics of the main economic and economic indicators for 2010-2022. The results of the obtained data showed that an increase in the share of the rural segment in the macroeconomics of the state has a statistically significant negative impact on the market structure, contributing to its reduction and more productive production activities. To strengthen the position of the agro-industrial complex, comprehensive support is needed: effective state mechanisms, the introduction of innovative technologies, the popularization of agritourism and cooperative movement, the modernization of infrastructure, the organization of new branches of crop production and animal husbandry, the inclusion of productive types, varieties and hybrids of agricultural crops in crop rotation, the expansion of the scale of the processing industry, material and technical equipment and product sales systems. The results obtained made it possible to draw the following key conclusions - diversification of production is a promising direction for increasing the economic activity of agricultural enterprises, which ensures an increase in product selection, profit and profit from sales.
