Abstract
Elevators purchase and store the commodity part of the gross grain harvest, prepare it for supplying processing industries, providing agriculture with seed grain improved by industrial methods, as well as exchange operations (grain for grain, feed for grain). The problems of economic interaction between grain farming and the elevator industry, determined by the level of production, post-harvest processing, storage and sales, are highlighted. A granary system consisting of three large units is presented. The prospect for the development of the elevator industry in the increasing role of the first and second links in close proximity to grain production in the country has been determined.
