The role of state support in the stabilization of sheepbreeding and its further development is considered. Over the years of economictransformations, the number of sheep in the Stavropol Territory has declined bymore than 7.1 times since 1990, and in agricultural organizations it has amountedto 11.8 times. Wool and mutton volumes of output have decreased by 10.5 and 6.7times, respectively. The number of sheep for this period was reduced in 3 times asa whole across Russia. If in 1990 the sown area of cereal crops in the StavropolTerritory was 1792.2 thousand hectares, then in 2010 it was 2138.9 thousandhectares. The area of fodder crops for this time has decreased in 6 times and hasmade in 2010 only 216.5 thousand hectares. In addition to reducing the number ofsheep, the ownership structure has changed and profit is the main driver of thedevelopment of this business.
