The Impact of Government Support on the Productivity of the
Grain Sector in Azerbaijan
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to assess how government support measures affect the productivity level of the grain sector in Azerbaijan. In recent years, the country's agricultural policy has provided significant subsidies, benefits and incentive mechanisms to increase yields and production sustainability. However, the practical effectiveness of these measures has not been fully studied.
The paper uses methods of comparative and statistical analysis based on official data on yields and production volumes of grain crops in recent years. Additionally, a review of regulatory documents and support programs was conducted, as well as a comparison with the experience of other countries where similar tools are used. The results of the study show that government assistance in the form of subsidies for seeds, fertilizers and fuels and lubricants generally has a positive effect on productivity, but the effect strongly depends on the level of technology adaptation, soil conditions and climatic conditions in specific regions. At the same time, there are risks of reduced efficiency due to the uneven distribution of resources and limited access of small farms to support. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the findings can be used to adjust agricultural policy, in particular, to develop more targeted incentive tools and introduce innovative methods of production management in the grain sector.
