Russia's transport system is one of the longest in the world, but its significant drawback is the radial nature that has historically developed as a result of the political development of the country as a state with strong centralization.

The freight transportation market in Russia in 2021 experienced rapid growth both in physical volumes and in monetary terms. In 2021, loading on the Russian Railways network increased by 3.2% to 1282.9 million tons, and cargo turnover – by 3.7% to 2638 billion tons-km. The total mileage of trucks on federal highways in 2021 increased by 3.2%. Other types of transportation and the pipeline system also showed positive dynamics.

Against the background of growing demand in the second half of 2021, the shortage of transport services has worsened. Thus, the cost of trucking has increased by 20-40%, and the rental rates of gondola cars have increased almost 2-3 times relative to the beginning of 2021.

In 2021, a Transport strategy was adopted until 2030 and with a forecast until 2035, according to which the volume of cargo transportation by inland waterway will grow to 222 million tons by 2035, road transport – 6101 million tons, rail – 1703 million tons, and the volume of containerization of transportation to 16-20% in 2035. At the same time, container transit through the territory of the Russian Federation will have to increase 4 times by 2027.

The relevance of the study "Agro-industrial complex of Russia 2022 "

The export of agricultural products from Russia in 2021 for the second year in a row in the new history of the country exceeded imports. According to INFOLine's preliminary estimate, exports of agricultural and food products have almost reached $35 billion (+15%). Russia is one of the world's twenty largest food exporters.

In 2021, record harvests of sunflower, sugar beet, greenhouse vegetables were obtained in the country, as well as the production of commercial aquaculture, livestock and poultry (in live weight) and milk increased. In 2022, it is projected to increase the acreage under spring grain, sugar beet, rapeseed, soy, potatoes and vegetables of the open ground.

An increase in world food prices by 28%, according to FAO, disruption of logistics chains, inflation, according to preliminary estimates, will add 10% or more to the increase in the cost of food in Russia.

In 2021-2022, the main challenges for the agro-industrial complex are rising prices for raw materials and high volatility of costs at all stages of production, as well as a shortage of personnel.

To stimulate the further development of the industry in the Russian Federation, several sectoral strategies are being implemented:

• The "Strategy for the development of the agro–industrial and fisheries complexes of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030" assumes an increase in the gross value added created in agriculture by 2024 to 5374.8 billion rubles (by 2030 - 7000 billion rubles), including due to a significant increase in exports.

• The Law "On Viticulture and Winemaking": a ban on the use of imported wine materials for the production of wines in Russia is introduced.

• 285 billion rubles will be allocated for the State Program for the Development of Agriculture and regulation of agricultural products, raw materials and food markets in 2022, and in subsequent years - 2023 and 2024 - 304.7 and 326.9 billion, respectively.

In the near future, the industry will continue to consolidate the industry, further building vertical integration, including through M&A transactions, and digitalization of the industry as a whole, which should ensure cost reduction, margin growth and increased competition.

The food industry has been one of the drivers of industrial production in Russia since 2014. According to INFOLine's preliminary estimates, food production growth in 2021 was at least 2%. The expansion of the raw material base, the growth of consumption, the competitive price of domestic products and the development of exports contribute to the increase in volumes.

To stimulate further development of the industry in the Russian Federation, several industry strategies are being implemented:

• The "Strategy for the development of the agro–industrial and fisheries complexes of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030" assumes an increase in the gross added value of food production by 2024 to 2841.9 billion rubles (by 2030 - 3295.9 billion rubles), including due to a significant increase in exports of finished products.

• The Law "On Viticulture and Winemaking": a ban on the use of imported wine materials for the production of wines in Russia is introduced.

In 2021-2022, the main challenge for the food industry is the rise in raw material prices and high volatility of costs at all stages of production. An increase in world food prices by 28%, according to FAO, disruption of logistics chains, inflation, according to preliminary estimates, will add 10% or more to the increase in the cost of food in Russia.

Also, the industry is influenced by the change in consumer behavior of Russians: citizens are paying more and more attention to their health, changing the structure of consumed products and at the same time showing thrift due to a drop in purchasing power. Against this background, the market of vegetable alternatives (meat, dairy and fish) is rapidly developing, and the share of STM retail chains in the consumer basket continues to grow.

Production indicators of fuel and energy industries in Russia are growing in the context of the recovery of global demand for energy. By the end of 2021, oil production with gas condensate increased by 2.2% to 524.05 million tons, gas production increased by 10% to 762.3 billion cubic meters - a record figure for Russia over the past 20 years. Coal production in Russia in 2021 increased by 8.9% to 438.09 million tons, only slightly behind the record figure of 2019 - 442.7 million tons. The price rally in the coal and gas markets in the second half of 2021 ensured the growth of exports of these energy carriers. Gas exports to non-CIS countries increased by 3.2% to 185.1 billion cubic meters, and foreign supplies of Russian coal increased by 5.7% to 214.368 million tons.
