Analysis of the needs in electrothermal equipment among agricultural producers in the Republic of Buryatia

The creation of favourable conditions for work and residence of rural people, including their provision with electrical equipment, is a priority task for any state. The developmental trends of crop growing and livestock farming in a particular area should be determined based on relevant statistical data about the living conditions and income level of rural residents. This information should be used to assess the needs of the population in specialised electrical equipment. In order to meet the future demand in agricultural products, new technologies – more efficient and inexpensive in installation and operation – are required. The article presents a research study into the development of the Republic of Buryatia. In accordance with the geographical location and national traditions, corporate and peasant farms, as well as individual entrepreneurs in the Republic develop mainly in the field of crop growing, while household farms prevail in the field of livestock farming. In addition, in the field of milk and dairy production, household farms are indisputable leaders. On the basis of the performed analysis, a conclusion is made that the needs of the Republic’s population in industrial equipment used for thermal treatment of cereal crops, including grain drying and storage, will definitely increase. Since it is house-hold farms that make the largest contribution to the level of agricultural production in the Republic of Buryatia, industrial and semi-industrial direct-flow water heaters will be in greater demand. Therefore, R&D works should be carried out to develop new models of electrothermal equipment designed for the application in rural areas.
