Abstract. The purpose of this research study is to substantiate the need to develop a professional standard “Specialist in management in industries and at enterprises of the agro-industrial complex” to improve the provision of management personnel in the Russian agro-industrial complex. To achieve this goal, it is rational to apply analytical and statistical research methods: to analyze the provision of the Russian agro-industrial complex with specialists with economic and managerial competencies, to carry out a comparative analysis of the job responsibilities of managers and chief specialists of agricultural organizations performing the functions of personnel management and production processes, and the content and volume of economic-management training for the agro-industrial complex. Research results. The heads of agricultural organizations, their deputies and chief specialists do not always meet the requirements for educational level and possession of economic and management competencies. On average, in the system of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, only 66 % of heads of agricultural enterprises have higher education, among the main specialists – 71 %. In the agricultural sector, there is a clear shortage of managerial staff, a high proportion of them without professional education, a large proportion of employees of retirement age. Training of personnel for the agro-industrial complex is carried out in 54 universities subordinate to the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia. The number of graduates in the main agricultural areas and specialties trained internally at the expense of the federal budget is more than 19 000 people, but there are only about 6 000 graduates of the specialist and magistracy who have the right to occupy leadership positions. In addition, in the main professional educational programs of personnel for the agro-industrial complex, little study time is allocated for the study of economic and management disciplines, which does not allow the formation of the necessary competencies in graduates to perform the functions of organizing agricultural production. To provide agricultural organizations with personnel with modern economic and management competencies, it is proposed to recommend that agricultural universities, when teaching students in the main specialties of the agricultural profile, determine the list of relevant disciplines, their volume and content in the main professional educational programs in accordance with the labor functions, knowledge and skills specified in the draft professional standard “Specialist in management in industries and enterprises of the agro-industrial complex”. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the substantiation of the requirements for management specialists in the branches of the agro-industrial complex, taking into account the development of modern agriculture, equipment, technologies and promising methods of organizing production, on the basis of which a draft of the corresponding professional standard is proposed.
Keywords: staffing of the agro-industrial complex, specialists in the field of management, educational level of managers and chief specialists, the system of agricultural education, the formation of economic and managerial competencies of graduates of agricultural universities.
