摘要：Low- and middle-income countries involved in agro-industrial production
and exporting agricultural products are facing a considerable
number of barriers when trying to implement the development
and growth strategies for this sector. Food security issues are strategic
both in national and global context, which determines the
relevance of this research. The study is aimed to analyze and compare
the agricultural diversification strategies in low- and middleincome
countries of Central Africa and America, Asia and Eastern
Europe. Particular attention was paid to a number of East European
countries involved in agro-industrial business and characterized by
high soil fertility. These countries are actively implementing reforms
to diversify the agro-industrial sector. Quantitative and qualitative
methods were used to analyze world and national agricultural markets.
Countries’ food security was assessed through the Global
Food Security Index. A direct relationship between food and energy
security of the countries under consideration was identified. The
potential for the production of innovative types of alternative energy
through the example of Russia were estimated. The research analyzes
the competition between international agricultural holdings
and private farming in low- and middle-income countries and builds
a typical agro-industrial supply chain model. The results of the study
can be applied for further researches in the field of food security in
low- and middle-income countries and provide the analytical basis
for the development of governmental decisions related to food
security strategy and tactics.
