Leasing impact on transformation processes in the Russian agricultural sector under sanctions pressure by A. A. Kiritsa, Yu. V. Chutcheva

“…With consideration to  the current situation in   the domestic market, decreased prices for agricultural products and rapid growth of   prices for agricultural machinery, the most promising areas for the use of  leasing mechanisms have been proposed to   help accelerate technical re-equipment in   the agricultural sector: application of   leasing solutions in   the agricultural industry that have already been tested and proven successful in   other market segments (for example, subscription, agrocarsharing, etc.); combination of   leasing mechanisms with trade-in programmes which make it  possible to  comprehensively solve issues not only of   updating machinery and tractor fleet, but also of  recycling worn-out agricultural equipment; use of   leasing mechanisms for the development of  machine and technological complexes as a   modern form of  joint use of   machinery in  agriculture which allows accelerating technical equipment of   the industry. …”
