Import substitution in a crisis: cancel and reset?

173

Crisis is not war, it won’t write off everything


The situation with import substitution in Russia in a pandemic and general self-isolation painfully resembles a bearded anecdote:

- Darling, what should you bring from abroad?



- Bring what you want. Now everything is being treated.

In mid-March, when quarantine in Russia had not yet been announced, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation proposed temporarily (until the end of September) to reset duties on the import of agricultural products, raw materials and finished food to Russia. But "temporality", in accordance with our traditions, too often turns into constancy. Moreover, import substitution of agricultural raw materials and prepared food has not been discussed for a long time from official stands.

But excuse me, what kind of geography of food imports are we talking about today, when almost all commercial products in the world are directly or indirectly affected by COVID-19? Alas, the geography of possible imports is not explained ... And besides, doesn’t this mean the abolition of duties on the actual abolition of the food embargo for the West?

The agency sent a letter proposing the abolition of duties to 21 industry associations. Such an “innovation” is justified by the fact that the abolition of those duties was proposed “in order to curb rising prices for socially significant products”. Is that why the Ministry of Agriculture is considering "the possibility of initiating the zeroing of import duties on certain groups of goods and raw materials for the production of agricultural products"?

Note that the proposed solution will be distributed to all EAEU countries in view of the common customs and tariff policy of the member countries prescribed by the member countries of the union. Well, then what about the recently announced integration agrarian projects in the EAEU? So they will remain declarative? Does the crisis write everything off?

It’s not forever, it’s worse - for a long time


However, it seems that this is not only about the food assortment. Say, the head of Soyuzmolok, Artyom Belov, considers it "advisable to abolish duties on a number of goods that seriously affect the cost of dairy products." According to A. Belov, which is shared by many farmers, goods whose import must be duty-free should be, for example, “equipment of this sub-sector and spare parts for it, packaging materials, veterinary preparations, pedigree cattle, genetic material and much more.”

And this is not surprising, since in the production of Russian dairy products (including cheeses), even according to official figures, the share of technological equipment from non-CIS countries still exceeds 60%. For other mentioned positions, the contribution of foreign countries is at least the same 60%.

Obviously, a significant import substitution for agricultural raw materials and finished food is hardly possible without a self-sufficient national production and technological base. But in this segment, real financing, public and private, as a whole does not reach 40% of real needs. And, of course, it will be reduced in connection not only with the pandemic and its consequences, but also with the actual collapse of the ruble.

Alas, in the current economic conditions (when, above all, world oil prices determine the price of the ruble), business and the state do not risk fully investing in the industrial base of the agro-industrial complex. It is understandable: such costs are time-consuming and much more significant in comparison with investments in the production of agricultural raw materials. But oil prices, as you know, do not linger for a long time ...

One way or another, but the actual volumes of deliveries of agricultural raw materials and prepared food from non-CIS countries to the Russian Federation over the past four years, according to estimates by analysts from the Timiryazev Academy, have generally decreased by no more than 15%. Moreover, large volumes of re-export to the country (through other EAEU countries) of food and agricultural raw materials from countries included in the Russian countersanctions are preserved.

Since no harsh measures against such re-export are still being undertaken to this day, it is reasonable to assume that the real situation with import substitution for agricultural raw materials and finished food products is not as harmonious as it was officially presented until recently by the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Meanwhile, problems with the material and technical base persist in the fruit and vegetable sub-sector. Therefore, in the Fruit and Vegetable Union of the Russian Federation, it is considered possible to consider temporary zeroing of duties not on finished products of the industry, but on the material and technical resources used in the cultivation and processing of vegetables and fruits. “This is a challenge for the future,” says Mikhail Glushkov, head of the union. “This approach is more important than temporarily zeroing the import duty, for example, of potatoes.”

The Ministry of Agriculture also seems to be offering duty-free imports of beef, pork, and offal. For against the abolition of duties on these goods is the National Meat Association. According to estimates of which, the capacities in the meat sector of the Russian agro-industrial complex are able to provide the predominant part of domestic demand.

The All-Russian Association of Fisheries Enterprises, Entrepreneurs and Exporters (WARPE) has the same position on the possible abolition of duties on fish products. According to the head of WARPE German Zverev, this decision “taking into account the situation with the ruble will not lead to lower retail prices for products, but will create additional benefits for foreign suppliers.”

Nothing temporary, just business


Despite the embargo and all counter-sanctions, the share of imports from non-CIS countries in the technological support of the Russian agro-industrial complex, including the food industry, remains at the level of 65-70%. Such an assessment is made by almost all profile structures, up to Rosstat. But, of course, they are not obliged to provide data from the US Department of Agriculture, which estimates this level as at least 75%, which makes the Russian market so attractive for technological imports.

It is clear that such imports also will not fall in price, even because of the coronavirus. Therefore, G. Zverev is absolutely right in his doubts about the "cheapening" of imported products. Again, due to the higher cost of imports due to the current rate of Russian money. The ruble is weakening, which means that the cost of imports of agricultural equipment and other technological components for the agricultural sector is growing.

Therefore, the list of the proposed duty-free imports may well include the goods of the resource-technological segment of the agro-industrial complex. A number of industrial unions are now advocating for this. But this, of course, will last a long time, if not forever, delay import substitution in the material and technical base of the agro-industrial complex of the entire EAEU.

According to Forbes magazine (December 6, 2019), the real situation with import substitution in Russia, including in the agricultural sector, is due to the fact that

“The domestic market of the Russian Federation does not provide sufficient demand due to a drop in the purchasing power of consumers. Therefore, it is easier and cheaper to buy abroad in the right amount than to produce in a warehouse. ”


Even in translation, the design of Forbes analysts is not easy to read, but the point is clear. In order to ensure the required volumes of Russian production of analogues of equipment and components imported from far abroad, time and large investments are needed, but they are not. We also need a long-term revival of domestic demand. But this is not even expected in modern conditions. Moreover, these conditions, as it turns out, alas, are far from short-lived.

Instead of postscript. To quote Andrei Slepnev, Minister of the Eurasian Economic Commission for Trade:

“In the shortest possible time, we will work out the entire final list of goods for which, on a temporary basis, tariff protection will also be reset, duties will be reduced.”

The Yankees achieved 100% food independence by supporting their own farmers. What if they threaten sanctions against suppliers of equipment, raw materials, and food products. After the pandemic, is there also a famine?

              Once again I am convinced that you are a narrow-minded person. The message of my post is not at all in speculation, but in the fact that the current regime already has a lot out of nothing, FROM THE AIR, from EVERY trade operation, as well as other states, and at the same time does not give anything from there in return to citizens. Even now, when a fat fur-bearing animal has come, it seems like it's time to share the bins, which actually other states are doing, which are not as idiotic as this regime and do not send other states in three funny letters, in a "pathetic" frenzy, at every opportunity) ))) The beautiful story with the pagan Saudis showed it perfectly))) It showed how wretched the current regime is, for which many narrow-minded people pray.

                A valve body with a mechatronics made in Germany costs 500 euros in Germany - in Russia it costs 2300 euros at the exchange rate - pure speculative price growth and so on everywhere and for everything. "A beautiful story with the nasty Saudis" - what do you mean from this story. Personally, from this story, I made excellent earnings for three weeks of playing on the stock exchange with bets on falling oil.

          Ilya-spb, help to our agriculture was decided to be canceled in the interests of foreign sellers who are on the list of system-forming economic organizations of the Russian Federation, starting from number 510 to number 579. And also in the interests of those who are not listed in that shameful list, , and this is a huge list of networks. They have money for them, for their own agriculture - no. This approach of the president to the affairs of the country immediately became clear after he uttered a message to the Federal Assembly of January 15. Prior to this, foreign traders calculated losses for 2019, wept down (the population became impoverished!) And set out to close, leave. And this is a blow to the image of Russia as an attractive investment country. And then Putin throws money into the population (increase in capital, breakfast, various benefits, etc.) - to dramatically increase our purchasing power, so that only merchants do not leave. And you thought, out of paternal care for us? Moreover, import duties on foreign agricultural products are further reduced. As much as you want and what you want, bring so much. But much is being produced with us. Traders, having studied the psychology of the president, are completely insolent. The day before yesterday they threatened to raise prices by 20%, and yesterday - already by 50%. Our agricultural production will be quietly ditched. Because the president’s image is everything, his own agriculture is nothing. Like their own population.

The advertised successful farms of the agricultural sector often target a specific, narrowly targeted segment (elite varieties of goat cheese, grape snails).

                  Colleagues, let's be clear about something. In the USSR, there were 25 collective and state farms. Until 900, agriculture was unprofitable (1983 collective farms). This was due to extremely low purchase prices. But the country, being immensely proud of itself, contained the "progressive" regimes of Asia, Latin America and the cannibalistic regimes of Africa, as well as the "fraternal" socialist camp with its inordinate appetite for gratis. It was a pity for its own to pay a good price for a product, and to waste money on other people's freeloaders is a matter of state prestige, or, as they say now, PR, which made it possible to compete with the capital camp in terms of the degree of influence in the world.
                  Until finally it became clear that this could not be further, otherwise the country would receive another Novocherkassk. And then, following the example of the cap. Camps, they increased purchase prices. Collective farms responded with a sharp increase in production, its profitability increased to 19%. Unprofitable remained 3400 households. Obviously, people in them disbelieved in the possibility of making good money, lost their incentive and skills of intensive, responsible work, could not break themselves.
                  Thus, there were products in the country! There were more than enough of them. Hunger in the late 80s and early 90s is artificial! I have read that even on uncooked smoked sausage, extremely short expiration dates were set, in fact, on everything, and, for example, lines of trucks stretched from Moscow to dumps near Moscow. Who from the nearest settlements knew this - they went and bought goods in full with first-class products. There, even crooks settled down with their own warehouses, they were selling goods to anyone with any assortment in any quantity for a small fee. Meanwhile, "sausage" electric trains stretched to the rapidly emptying stores in Moscow. As in Leningrad and other large Russian cities. Through hunger, the population had to be made docile in order to change the political system without resistance. Now someone can use the coronavirus as a pretext for self-isolation of citizens. The consequence is absenteeism, lack of money, hunger. Who benefits from?

                      A colleague, I think that the misfortune that befell our country, and the coronavirus - misfortune, the president could skillfully take advantage of - quickly clean the ranks of the fraudulent fraternity surrounding him. Based on the results of work in an epidemic and based on preliminary circumstances that led to these results. And they would have nothing to cover.
                      Here, for example, Sobyanin-tiler-border operator. There sins - a full cart and a cart to catch up. Since 2014, he has "optimized" a huge number of hospitals and, most importantly, maternity hospitals in Moscow. Despite the fact that Moscow is the only region of the Russian plain that showed natural population growth over the past year, that is, due to the birth rate. Reduced infectious diseases! Massively! And now Moscow hospitals are already overcrowded with coronavirus and pneumonia. The remaining hospitals for more than 10 million Moscow are absolutely insufficient. Catastrophically insufficient. I just found a video at RBC - a traffic jam from ambulances stretched for more than a kilometer. Resuscitation systems with flashing lights, in violation of road rules, squeeze along the sides. The number of patients is growing rapidly, but this is not yet the peak, it will be in two weeks. There will be a peak, but there are no hospitals - Sobyanin optimization! But there are more than enough power ambitions. Yes there is a lot. And people like Sobyanin are surrounded by a crowd of Putin. Not abruptly, not with the whole crowd, albeit gradually, one by one, I would have removed them all equally within a few months. Based on the results of activities. Some are under investigation, some are sent to the provinces, but everyone is desirable under investigation. If the president does so, I personally will support. The country would have applauded him. But there is little hope. Even Article 20 of the UN Convention against Corruption and Illicit Enrichment has not been ratified by Russia since 2006.

Why did Stalin get into all the details and at all stages of fateful decisions. And this one is rubbing about the Pechenegs from the Polovtsy, and he’ll say we’ll win together. We are together? I don’t see that we are together. He allocated a billion for the prevention and treatment of coronovirus of his official idiots, and for the whole country 10 billion dal.

                    Sausage trains appeared long before the attempt to change the system: in the 70s, back in the Brezhnev times. My brother and I went to Leningrad to buy food for the whole family, being schoolchildren: there were 50% discounts on travel for schoolchildren and students. Nearby, in the regional center, a small meat processing plant worked, but its products were completely exported either to Moscow or to St. Petersburg and only occasionally "threw away" smoked pork ribs. I don’t think the deficit was an artificial phenomenon, it’s an organic flaw in the planned economy.

From Moscow, the mother brought sausage (cooked), sausages, marshmallows, condensed milk. From 85 to 90 he studied at the Tamboska VVAIU. There, in a megazine, he was quietly buying ham sausage.

Maybe in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Donetsk that was, but the rest of the country is in eternal queues and deficits. Everything went according to the goodness - furniture, appliances, cars ... A mass distortion of people's consciousness began, in order to live normally it was necessary to spin, bustle, give bribes, negotiate, and humiliate ourselves. Dad says that since 1988. many bosses already knew that the Union was living out its last years, consciously led the matter to collapse ...

          There is actually a difference. Khodor successfully snatched a piece with "well fluid", which was trying to shake off amers, and got burned on it. Subsequently, the former head of the CIA called the nationalization of Yukos the biggest expropriation of Jewish property since the Holocaust. How this property became Jewish he modestly kept silent lol ... This is indeed a robbery of the country in its most unclouded form. In the case of Deripaska, things are not so simple. Chel created TNK and its enterprises were engaged in production, paid salaries and taxes. What was he doing there with his dividends is his problem. Burned out on funding Trump's election and Anglo-Saxon "gratitude." Without the American market, the lumindia of his TNC fell like a house of cards and was squeezed out by force. In fact, nothing has changed from these shifting of shares in different pockets. Enterprises work, wages and taxes are paid.

And if Deripaska really has something to present, then they would have presented for a long time. Too tasty piece was in his hands. Charges of selling and destroying the homeland will not work in court. They like names and numbers.

Zeroing the rates of import customs duties is advisable for those positions where Russia remains dependent on imports. For positions that are sensitive to the exchange rate and not are made in Russia, it would be right to zero customs duties in order to restrain price increases. For example, these are baby food, veterinary products, breeding material, equipment, packaging, spare parts for imported equipment, etc. .. And here are our meat producers, fish and oh There are doubts about the appropriateness of the measures proposed by the Ministry of Agriculture. The introduction of a temporary zero customs duty rate will not support consumer demand and will not lead to lower consumer prices for fish and fish products, but will create preferences for importers who already have them, the National Meat Association ( we fully provide ourselves with poultry and pork meat) stands for the abolition of tariff preferences when importing meat to Russia, for example, beef, which Latin American countries import at a reduced rate am.Zdes necessary to measure seven times before decisions are made ...

                  Apparently tatra is at a loss with an answer, let me then wedge in with the answer to your questions. Although, perhaps my understanding of Soviet power, she will not like it. 1. Soviet power, this democracy without property and party qualifications, carried out through the Councils of citizens (this is not democracy!). Where, all citizens are equal (if possible to participate in management, whoever wants to) and are equal owners of the state. Profit and nishtyaki from the state receive conditionally the same as at a meeting of equal shareholders. 2. Based on paragraph 1, corruption, estate, theft to a minimum, the stability of management, justice to a maximum. 3. The power of the Communists (CPSU, EdRo) is an enemy of the power of the Soviets. De facto this is the establishment of a second, upper class of privileged owners of the state, although de jure there was one class - Soviet people. Now this class is even clearer, and the state is all step-by-step. 4. And full sedition :). Soviet power does not mean the abolition of private property, and socialism! Here it is up to everyone, not commies, edro, guber, and so on. At least in each province in its own way. The main thing, IMHO, is the abolition of parasitism on money. How, under Stalin, you want to exchange for gold, you want to put it in the bedside table, where they will go up in price with the growth of production forces and cheaper products. PS Maybe somewhere messy, out loud formulate for the first time.

                      I am confused by the very term "demo-cration". Especially in such phrases as "The authorities of the democratic republic of the Russian Federation, calls on the people to come to plebes-cit". Demos and plebos are different classes with different rights. The plebs (individual) has the right to life, but not property (and hence a share from the state. "The state owes you nothing!" ©). The vote of the entire plebs is equal to the vote of 1 citizen. In fact, we are now observing this in Russia: the people are shish (maximum a handout for your own taxes), everything to friends. And the Soviets, as it were, assume one class - the Soviet man. (Although a rare lawyer knows the difference between a person and a citizen. But this is so, by the way).

                        We, ordinary people, can and invest the same meaning in different terms. But Yurists put different, often opposite, meaning. And on this they breed us like rams and rob us. A good example, when we are told "a subject of the federation", the majority represents a territory or region. But a vegetable garden, house, territory, region are OBJECTS! Don't you believe?, Then see the dictionaries. And the subject is a person, the governor, or a legal entity (not a state structure!) "Government of the N province" with a director-governor. I advise you to think about the terms, so as not to be deceived by all crooks.

    Import substitution in a crisis: cancel and reset?

    On a scientific treatise - "does not pull." In terms of information - few numbers and comparisons.
    For a long time, smart and competent people with access to the media and the right to broadcast to the whole country have said that Russia's import substitution policy should be as follows:
    All that a country cannot receive a priori must have the right to import. But what the country simply refused to access to foreign currency funds, it is necessary to restore, develop, and provide financial support to people working in these sectors.
    I remember the times when domestic goods of good quality competed with foreign ones in terms of price. And my radio:

    Served honestly for 8 years.
    But today even the once-famous brands in the country cannot be compared in quality with the most primitive foreign counterparts. And all this crap about import substitution is easily digested under:

    In general, capitalism has once again proved its monstrous inefficiency, loss-making for the country and people. Not only does the huge money go into the bottomless pockets of capitalists that under socialism they spent on developing, maintaining the country, on the great social benefits of the people, but in order for capitalism to work at least a little, the State should also help the capitalists, subsidize them, and give orders.
    Therefore, those who imposed capitalism on Russia are so fond of discussing the results of socialism in the USSR, and so they do not like to discuss the results of capitalism in post-Soviet Russia, they cowardly dump the responsibility for them on the Soviet Communists, on each other, on the West.

      How can one not recall the words of the Great Lenin:
      For old capitalism, with complete domination of free competition, the export of goods was typical. For modern capitalism, with the dominance of monopolies, the export of capital has become typical.

      Capitalism from progressive has become reactionary, it has developed production forces so much that humanity either has to switch to socialism, or for years or even decades to survive the armed struggle of the "great" powers for the artificial preservation of capitalism through colonies, monopolies, privileges and national oppressions of all kinds.

    "... The Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation came up with a proposal to temporarily (until the end of September) zero duties on the import of agricultural products, raw materials and finished food into Russia. ..." - this phrase shows Russia's vulnerability in providing food to its own population. Uninterrupted food supply to the population is the most important component of the country's economic security. "... In macroeconomics, economic security is such a state, or the level of development of the means of production in a country, in which the process of sustainable economic development and socio-economic stability of society is ensured, practically, regardless of the presence and action of external factors ...." the phrase: "zero duties on the import of agricultural products, raw materials and finished food" - there are big problems that have not been solved for years: the lack of a base for the production of means of production for agriculture, the lack of organizations engaged in breeding in various agricultural sectors - all these problems did not arise today.
    There is an interesting interview with Vasily Melnichenko (I recommend watching or reading): "... - As the saying goes, our prime minister (meaning Mishustin - AA17) neither to the village nor to the city. What can he have to do with agriculture, if never anything Didn't understand and did not know about the village? However, like the entire current Ministry of Agriculture, where there is not a single specialized specialist, starting with Minister Patrushev himself. There is nothing that would speak of a turn of the agrarian-industrial policy towards development. There is not even a declaration action ...

    P.S. From all this information, we can conclude: the Russian government for more than 20 years did not cope with its direct responsibilities - did not fully ensure "... the economic security of Russia as protection of the vital interests of all residents of the country, Russian society as a whole and the state in the economic sphere from internal and external threats ...

    It is unlikely that they will be brought from Kazakhstan or even a special quota from the government, and the export of socially significant goods is prohibited.
