Modern possibilities of upgrading the machine and tractor fleet of agricultural organisations with the help of leasing

At the present stage, the agricultural sector of the Russian Federation operates in very complex and ambiguous socio-economic conditions. On the one hand, international sanctions have become the driving force and incentive for the domestic production, but at the same time, sanctions and counter-sanctions have made it difficult to solve a set of internal problems that have formed in the Russian agriculture over the past decades. The article examines the current problem of developing the agroleasing segment as the most effective investment mechanism for the technical re-equipment and renovation of the country’s machine and tractor fleet (hereinafter referred to as MTP) of the agricultural sector. The main aspects of the transformation of the Russian leasing market in the agro-industrial complex and the key trends in the agroleasing development at the current stage are analysed. Based on the analysis, the need to form a comprehensive ecosystem of the agroleasing is substantiated, including expanding the scope of its application, searching, developing the most optimal formats and mechanisms for integration and cooperation between market participants, taking into account the use of leasing mechanisms. The importance of systemic government support for maintaining the pace of renewal of the MTF is emphasised. The final part highlights the most promising directions for the agroleasing development at the present stage. The work uses general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, economic and statistical, graphical methods, etc.).
