Statistical Analysis of Differentiation of Russian Regions in Terms of Ensuring Intensive Import Substitution in the Livestock Sector

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the presented research is to assess the possibility of using cluster analysis as a popular method of object grouping in conditions of ensuring the efficiency of private and public investments aimed at intensive import substitution in the livestock sector industries in comparison with the proprietary methodology. The article deals with the changes in the elements of the resource potential of the livestock sector according to the data of agricultural censuses of 2006 and 2016, reveals the differences between the regions of Russia in conditions and efficiency of manufacturing the animal husbandry products and establishes the need to specify the method of their analysis. The scientific novelty of the research is in developing a methodology for the typification of regions by grouping on the basis of a multidimensional mean, including the system of statistical indicators of the region's characteristics under the conditions of the targeted approach, substantiation of the weight coefficients of the indicators, approaches to assessing the capabilities of a group of regions in ensuring the country's foodsecurity. The practical significance is in the possibility of applying the methodology by the agribusiness authorities at the level of the region and at the federal level.
