Abstract
The sphere of milk production and processing is the most important component of the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan. Milk and its processed products are of particular importance in the human diet. However, the volume of its consumption per capita in our country is less than 2/3 of the recommended norm. As a result of agrarian reforms without sufficiently developed and scientifically based state support, inter-economic ties between the links and individual enterprises of the dairy subcomplex collapsed, which led to extremely negative consequences. Agricultural producers, not having had time to adapt to the conditions of the market economy, became dependent on dairy processing plants that monopolistically set purchase prices for dairy raw materials. This led to a reduction in the number of dairy cattle and a decrease in milk production. More than half of the dairy herd of cows turned out to be in the private subsidiary farms of the population, as a result of which the volume of milk supplies for processing was sharply reduced. In order to increase the efficiency of the dairy subcomplex and eliminate the contradictions that have arisen, it is necessary to establish mutually beneficial relations between the subjects of various industries connected by a single production cycle. A decisive role in this case belongs to the development of vertical forms of cooperation in the form of long-term contracting and through the creation of agricultural consumer cooperatives. In these conditions, an in-depth study and improvement of the management system of the agro-industrial complex and dairy subcomplex aimed at the formation of these relations is especially relevant. At the same time, in our opinion, in the process of research, it is necessary to consider state regulation and economic management in the relationship. The purpose of the scientific article is to reveal the modern methodological and practical provisions that determine the management mechanisms of the dairy subcomplex in an innovative environment. The subject of the study is the system of organizational and economic mechanisms of interaction between producers of raw milk and organizations providing its processing and marketing of finished products, management of these processes. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the substantiation of theoretical approaches and the development of recommendations for cooperation and integration of dairy subcomplexes in the innovative development environment.
