Peasant (Farm) Households of Kalmykia in the 2000–2010s: the Social and Economic Aspect
Abstract
The article analyses the problems of development of peasant (farm) households (enterprises) in Kalmykia. The dynamics of changes of this business pattern with evidence from materials of the State Statistics Service and the republican media has been considered. Peasant (farm) households form the leading sector of the agricultural economy of the republic. Those account for 40,1 % and 39,6 % of the total cattle and sheep (goat) population respectively. The farmers play a significant role in the solution of crucial problems in the rural community. They perform a number of social functions, e.g., repairs and maintenance of schools, funding of cultural events, financial support of young sportsmen and talented pupils’ participation initiatives in corresponding tournaments and contests held both in Elista and outside the republic.
