Abstract
Agri-farms of Tatarstan Republic (Russian region) have a positive dynamics of development and stably take its place among the first four constituents of the Russian Federation. Having cultivated 2.3% of agricultural lands in Russia, Tatarstan provides 4.7% of agricultural production, in the amount of 188.8 billion rubles. Agricultural sector becomes profitable, and begins to entice such a great investors as "Krasny Vostok Agro", "Kulonstroy", "Zolotoy Kolos", "Tatfondbank", "Agrosila Group", et al., who invest multi billions of dollars. So, just “Krasny Vostok Agro”, taking a responsibility for 56 thousand of peoples, living in 124 settlements of Alekseevsky, Alkeevsky, Verkhneuslonsky, Zelenodolsky, Nurlatsky and Spassky Districts, managed in a short time, radically change the actual position of affairs. During the implementation of the national project, the results of its activities became the following: tripling of the meat production, tenfold increase of milk production, which made it possible to provide all working population with paying job. Despite the gained progress, the agricultural sector has many unsolved problems. One of them is the production of vegetable oil. According to specialists’ calculations, each year our republic is required 47520 tons of vegetable oil (about 800 wagons with carrying capacity of 60 tons), not including the consumption of mayonnaise, margarine and other products. Taking into account the needs of domestic and foreign markets, it is necessary to increase the cultivated areas of spring rape (main cold-resistant oilseed of Tatarstan) at least up to 200 thousand hectares and to bring gross output of oilseeds to 200-250 thousand tons per year, yielding per every hectare 20-25 quintals of commercial products, instead of 10-12 quintals at this time. The current situation monitoring on the crops of the researched object, the methodology which is presented in this paper, the assessment and forecasting of its productivity on the basis of space imagery data are the actual problems of modern agro-industrial complex, not only of the Tatarstan Republic, but the Russian Federation in whole.
