Agrotechnologies: venture investment trends
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The purpose of the article is to analyze the main trends of venture investments in agro- technologies. It is shown that agriculture is one of the dynamically developing industries that attracts the attention of venture investors. The key technologies of the agrotechnical market segment as investment objects are presented. The prospects of agro-technologies related to both global factors and the peculiarities of the agricultural industry are being investigated. It is shown that innovative development is supported by practical methods reflecting new trends. The introduction of those is largely caused by macro factors and micro-factors. Macro-factors are formed in accordance with the goals of sustainable agricultural development, solving problems to minimize the negative impact on the environment. Micro-factors are formed in accordance with the tasks of optimizing the use of resources, automation of the management process by the manufacturer, reduction of labor costs, influence by consumer preferences and market conditions. It is shown that in Russia and in most countries of the world, realizing that the potential for extensive development in the agricultural sector has been exhausted, positive changes are taking place in the development of the innovative economy sector in agriculture as answers to the challenges of the time. The reasons for the correction of the agro- startup market and the decline in investment hype in recent years in this market segment are given. The consequences of the continued very low institutional support for agro-startups in the world are presented. The conclusion is reasoned about the key condition for maintaining the venture cycle necessary to finance new projects of agrotechnical startups.
