ABSTRACT

The article examines the advantages of cluster approaches in the fruit and vegetable sector. Foreign experiences

related to the development and financing of fruit and vegetable clusters have been analyzed. Additional financial

resources are needed for the development of high-tech industries and innovative projects related to the cultivation,

harvesting, storage, processing, delivery and sale of fruit and vegetable products. Traditional and modern sources of

financing investment projects in the field of fruit and vegetable growing are considered in this article. The purpose of

the study is to evaluate the possibilities of alternative means of venture financing based on crowdfunding. In order to

form and develop the innovative sector in Uzbekistan, conclusions are given on supporting small businesses in

agribusiness. As a result of the observations, crowdfunding is considered one of the most common sources of

alternative financing in developed countries due to the possibility of attracting resources to new promising projects

based on high risk. The development of the crowdfunding system and directions aimed at supporting advanced

investment projects were analyzed. A comparison with Jakhan's experience was described, legal aspects of the

problem were considered. According to the results of the research, the problems hindering the introduction of new

models of venture financing into the activities of fruit and vegetable clusters were studied, and the prospects for the

development of the industry were considered.

INTRODUCTION

At the time when the world's population is rapidly

increasing under the conditions of globalization and

their needs for food and agricultural products are

increasing, the main sector that provides them, that is,

deepening agrarian reforms in agriculture, providing

food, and measures aimed at social protection of the

population. requires the creation of an effective

system. And this puts responsible tasks in front of all

economic entities supplying products to the food

products market.

The presence of food problems in our country's

agriculture and internal and external trends in

agriculture, as well as the increase in the strategic

importance of agricultural development, further

expansion of the activities of clusters in the field of fruit

and vegetables and financial stability, using the

positive experiences gathered in this sector and the

achievements of the latest scientific and technical

progress achieved in the world economy. provision is

necessary.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Organization and financing of innovative activities in

the field of fruit and vegetable production,

improvement of innovative management methods are

studied by economists of our country, the

Commonwealth of Independent States and foreign

countries from a theoretical and scientific point of

view.

First,

we

will

touch

on

some

theoretical,

methodological and practical approaches to the

development and efficiency of agriculture based on

the innovative-cluster approach. One of the most

important issues in the development of the modern

economy is the problem of creating clusters. The

development of clusters occurs in Western Europe, the

United States and England in the middle of the 20th

century. The cluster approach became the basis of the

economies of countries such as Finland, South Korea

and Brazil in the 1990s. In economic sciences, the term

"cluster" is also used together with the expression

"clustering". Clustering (cluster analysis) means

dividing a set of objects into groups called clusters.

Here, it is assumed that there are "similar" objects

within each group, and that the objects of different

groups are as different as possible.

"A cluster is a group of geographically related

companies and related organizations operating in a

certain field, it is characterized by common activities

and mutually complementary features”. Accor

ding to

the classification of the economist A.S. Khukhrin [4], a

cluster is a geographically concentrated network - a

system of various networks of market entities that

have unique competitive advantages due to their

location, apply scientific achievements, innovative

technologies, and complement each other. E.N.

Skvortsov in his scientific work on the concept of agro-

industrial cluster distinguishes three main criteria [1].

Some aspects of improving the scientific-theoretical

and methodological foundations of the innovative

development of the national economy are highlighted

in the scientific works of these economists. However,

there is currently no comprehensive research on

improving the financial support of innovative activities,

which is the main factor for increasing the volume of

innovative

products.

All

this

requires

the

implementation of in-depth studies on researching

ways of development of the national economy based

on innovative factors and improving the scientific-

theoretical and methodological foundations of their

financial support, applying these to the practice of our

country, and accelerating the processes of forming an

innovative economy.

Also, in connection with the modernization of the

country's economy, there is a need for additional

financial resources for the development of high-tech

industries and innovative projects. This article

examines traditional and contemporary sources of

venture capital investment and assesses the potential

for developing alternative means of venture financing.

METHODOLOGY

As a result of the conducted scientific research,

proposals and recommendations were made regarding

the issues of fruit and vegetable cluster development

and increasing their efficiency. Systematic approach,

abstract-logical thinking, comparison, factor analysis

and comparative analysis methods were used in the

research process.

RESULTS

There are many definitions of "venture financing".

Without dwelling on these definitions, we limit

ourselves to explaining that the feature of venture

financing is to offer money to the company instead of

its share in the charter capital. This, in turn, helps the

development of a business that is considered high risk

at the initial stage of its development.

The birthplace of venture business is the Silicon Valley

in the United States, where in 1957, the method of

raising money was used for the first time in the stage

of organization or formation and for the risk

investment of small and medium-sized firms aimed at

creating new promising technologies. Thanks to the

mechanism of venture financing, famous firms such as

Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Wuers, Sequoia, MayField,

GreyLock appeared in Silicon Valley .

To date, the venture capital market in the United

States is the largest in terms of size. Also, thanks to

venture investments, companies such as Microsoft,

Intel, Apple Computers, Compaq were created in the

early stages and became world leaders in the computer

industry .

In Western Europe, venture capital appeared in the

1970s, but began to develop actively only in the

following decades. Prior to the advent of venture

capital, private entrepreneurs in Western Europe were

deprived of a simple source of equity capital financing.

Since the mid-1980s, Western European investors have

been investing less and less in their traditional fixed-

income assets and increasingly using equity

investment opportunities. The leader in venture capital

investment in Western Europe is Great Britain, the

oldest and most powerful financial center in the world

.

The rapid development of venture capital in the last 20-

30 years around the world has led to the rapid growth

of venture capital markets .

Venture business is almost the only source of finance

for small innovative enterprises in the early stages due

to the high risk of investment.

It is known that small companies to themselves

necessary funds under favorable conditions difficult to

get, because investors prefer to work with large

companies that have found their place in the market.

Private investors are also reluctant to finance young

high-tech companies because of the high risk involved.

The

government

can

help

eliminate

these

"bottlenecks" of the private investment market

through direct and indirect intervention measures.

To encourage venture capital investment of the state

tools used its various forms can be divided into three

main groups: 1) direct investment to venture funds or

small enterprises (investment is given to venture funds

or small companies in the form of direct investments or

low-interest loans); 2) financial incentives for investing

in venture funds or small enterprises (state guarantees

for loans to venture funds or small companies; tax

credits or tax exemptions reach); 3) funds to venture

funds rules defining the range of investors allowed to

invest (e.g.certain amount to pension funds and to

insurance companies) (Table 1).

In connection with the modernization of the

production processes of fruit and vegetable products

in our country, there is a need for additional financial

resources for the development of innovative projects

and areas of activity based on high technologies. In this

article, the traditional and modern sources of risk-

based investments were considered, and the

possibilities of developing alternative means of

venture financing based on crowdfunding in the

agricultural market of our country were evaluated.

It is known that, in order to develop the activities of

agroclusters in our country, work is being carried out

on several programs to support the activities of small

businesses and private enterprises. One of them is

crowdfunding-based investment activities.

Crowdfunding is an opportunity to attract the funds of

a large number of investors to new promising projects

based on high risk, which is based on one of the most

common alternative forms of financing in developed

countries. Research is being conducted on the

development of the crowdfunding system and its

orientation to support advanced investment projects.

In his reports and decrees, the President of our country

sets before us the task of modernizing the national

economy and moving it to the path of new reform and

innovative development. Today, in Uzbekistan, as in

the whole world, the problems of transitioning to a

new model of economic development, which will help

our country to get rid of dependence on raw material

exports and overcome accumulated technological

backwardness, remain urgent. Among the promising

directions for the formation of a national financial and

investment system capable of ensuring the attraction

of investments to the development of new

productions are production technological complexes

of a new technological order, as well as their crowd

funding (visual - funds from the majority) collection of

very small amounts of money from many people (legal

entities). through (usually via the Internet) the practice

of project or enterprise financing (Editor) is

distinguished by the creation of areas of consumption

of products and the formation of institutions for

financing development projects.

One such measure is the venture business and the

financing model through it. However, the state as a

general manager plays a key role in creating the

attractiveness of venture financing, especially in the

field of innovation.

Due to the high risk of investment, venture business is

almost the only source of finance for small innovation

enterprises in the early stages.

The following are the traditional sources of financing

of risky investments: private investors (business

angels), investment institutions (corporate investors),

pension funds (pension funds), insurance companies

(insurance companies), various government agencies

and international organizations. In the 70s and 80s of

the 20th century, funds for direct investment in the

share capital (private equity fund) aimed at buying a

package of shares of such companies; repurchase

funds, which carry out the purchase (financing) of a

package of shares by gaining full control over the use

of the company's assets; mezzanine funds specializing

in investment financing of companies before they go

directly to the stock markets. Currently, the total

capital of direct investment funds in the United States

exceeds the capital of venture funds by 4-5 times. As a

result, a two-stage venture investment scheme works:

venture capital is used in the initial stages of the

project's market entry, and then direct investment

funds are attracted. In the development of venture

business, the situation of small and medium

enterprises is important due to the achievement of the

highest results and initiative. A small business spends a

large proportion of its funds on improving its products

and technologies. In most countries with modern

market

economies,

small

and

medium-sized

enterprises generate between half and three-quarters

of national income and are the most important engine

of economic growth.

The effectiveness of modern business, like the

effectiveness of the country's economy, depends

primarily on innovation. Until now, there were only

two ways to finance innovation. First: companies

invest funds (private or borrowed) in ongoing research

and development (R&D). Second: investments in R&D

are made not by the companies themselves, but by

venture investors; they would invest their venture

(risk) capital in venture projects of companies, and in

return they would have a corresponding share in the

capital of these companies.

Agrocluster is one of the intersectoral and regional

integrated structures that are of particular importance

in ensuring the stability of the agricultural sector in

world practice. Our country has all the opportunities

for further development and formation of this sector.

Today, the development of clusters is one of the

important tools that contribute to sustainable

innovative development and the competitiveness of

agriculture in the region and the development of the

agro-industrial complex as a whole. For the rapid and

innovative development of fruit and vegetable

growing in our country, the formation of fruit and

vegetable clusters is introduced in two directions: the

first direction is the organization of the production of

fruit and vegetable products within the framework of

a single or interrelated group of enterprises that

independently carry out the specified process from the

production of fruit and vegetable products to their

sale. cluster; the second direction is "seed-seedling" on

the basis of guaranteed contracts between agricultural

producers,

processing

enterprises,

processors,

exporters who provide planting material, advance

payments to agricultural producers for the

organization of agricultural work, and purchase the

products produced from them at agreed prices. cluster

of organization of production of fruit and vegetable

products forming a continuous chain according to the

principle of "growing - preparation - storage -

processing - transportation - delivery to the market".

Targeted non-repayable sources are distinguished by

the fact that funds are given indiscriminately, for

specific purposes and without the condition of

repayment. They include state budget funds,

international and local grants, customers, sponsors,

and the company's own funds. Sources based on debt

relationships are based on the principles of maturity,

repayment, repayment. Equity investment is involved

in cases where the previous two sources cannot be

used, and the innovative project is implemented in

cooperation with its creators and external investors

(venture funds, shareholders, foreign investors, etc.).

In the venture financing system, two groups of

investors are distinguished: corporate (collective) and

individual venture investors.

One of the newest means of financing in the field of

personal venture investment is crowdfunding, which

comes from the English words crowd-public and

funding-funding and means public financing. In other

words, it is a collective interaction of people who

voluntarily pool their money and other resources,

usually over the Internet, to support the initiatives of

other people and organizations. It is emphasized that

these projects have a broad purpose: donations (aid to

victims of natural disasters, support from enthusiasts),

political campaigns, financing of start-up companies

and small businesses, support of IT technologies and

free software, etc.

The operating model of all services is approximately

the same. The authors of the project publish their

initiative for free, indicate the amount of money

needed to be collected and the deadline. Donors

(sponsors)

contribute

any

funds

for

the

implementation of the project and may not receive any

benefit at all, except for the fact that for the future

contribution, a product sample, a sample of a model

that is not available for sale to everyone, an

appropriate percentage of profits, profit in the form of

shares, or the name of the sponsor will be remembered

as a participant in the project. If the appropriate funds

are not collected within the specified period, the funds

will be returned to their owners and the project will be

closed. Currently, the amount of funds collected

through crowdfunding has increased significantly. In

2012, the video games Double Fine Adventure and

Wasteland 2 raised $3.3 million and $3.1 million

respectively through the Kickstarter crowdfunding

site. More than 87 thousand people contributed to this

project. In 2011, nearly $1.2 billion was raised worldwide

through crowdfunding, and in 2012, this figure was

predicted to double. Funds raised have been used to

support more than one million projects. Almost half of

the investments (49%) were used for non-profit

projects, while only 11% were for borrowing and

projects whose investors received shares or a share of

the profits. Only 27% of crowdfunding sites use a

donation scheme, the majority of the rest use a

"rewards" model (47%)1.

At first, crowdfunding was used for non-profit projects

as a means of collecting funds from a small number of

netizens trying to raise money for treatment or

education. Currently, crowdfunding has shown itself as

a full-fledged financial weapon - a source of venture

investments and a method of microcredit. For the first

time, the crowdfunding model of venture financing

was used by software developers. The most successful

projects of the crowdfunding model of venture

financing include the popular Mozilla Firefox browser

and the AbiWord word processor. Such a model is

justified and successful at the very initial stage of

financial support of a new idea, and then, when the

project reaches a high profit indicator, when the risk is

much less, large companies join the financing. In

particular, the main investments made by major

investors in the above-mentioned Mozilla Firefox

project in ten years amounted to 317 million dollars,

while only 0.01% of this amount was invested by private

individuals (just at the stage of implementing the idea

into life). The most successful crowdfunding project in

the West is the Cambrian House project, which raised

nearly $8 million. Its participants will present their ideas

to the public, and those who wish will be able to

directly become a participant or bet on it.

There are various crowdfunding projects in the world:

Crowdrise (collecting funds for donations), Kickstarter,

IndieGoGo (supporting creative projects), OpenIDEO

next round of financing for the coatings being created

for solar cell roofs. The investment of $300,000 needed

for the company was collected in one day - people

bought "shares" of the company (the cost of one share

is $25). The exact name of crowdfunding is Equity

Crowdfunding. Its main features are as follows: the

form of introduction of financial funds - investment;

form of return of funds (not all crowdfunding

companies provide for return)

full return of

investments in case of success of the company's

business (additional benefits - financial and non-

financial); motivation for giving money (motivational

reason) is a combination of personal motivation (likes

the company), social motivation (the company's

business is necessary and useful for society) and

financial motivation.

The first crowdfunding projects in Russia from CIS

countries began to appear in 2008, but developed very

slowly and with difficulty. The most successful and

interesting among them are the shareholder.ru and

capitaller.ru websites, which founded the WebMoney

payment system. If the first resource can collect the

necessary funds for the project, the second site can

spend the funds collected under the control of

investors and on the basis of strict reporting. The main

reason for the success of the platform for this activity

is that investors can practically and effectively control

the spending of funds, which attracts additional

investors (shareholder.ru collects hundreds of

thousands of dollars from each investor from 5-10

dollars). Besides, it will not be technically possible to

build a financial pyramid based on such a service.

A relatively new project in Russia is the "Venture

Factory" created by the interactive creative system E-

generator.ru under the control of the investment

holding "FINAM". "Venture factory" is a Russian

service for the implementation of IT projects with

venture investment, which provides a high level of

income. In this case, crowdfunding has a public IPO

format. A model of collective investment in the project

was created as part of the service, in which several

people can contribute their money (the minimum

amount invested by one investor is 300-500 rubles).

After collecting the necessary investment funds, the

implementation of the project will begin.

The project implementation algorithm includes five

stages:

- the author offers "Venture Factory" an idea and a

business plan for its implementation;

- the proposed idea is evaluated by experts of E-

- the approved project is placed on the website of

"Venture Factory" to attract investments;

- after the project amount is collected, its

implementation begins;

- after the completion of the project, the participants

will receive their share either in the form of stock or in

the form of profit from the sale of the project.

During the study, the following trends and factors of

the development of crowdfunding, including as a

means of venture financing, were highlighted:

technological advances in mass media and social

media. The modern level of technology development

allows Internet users to join online groups of their

interests to exchange ideas and solve current

problems;

waiver of mediation. Direct connection of buyers with

sellers, creators with investors and projects with

groups (communities) is ensured. Traditional business

models are very complex, require a lot of time and

large financial costs;

small business has difficulties in attracting initial

capital (up to one million dollars);

entrepreneurs begin to master the method of

crowdfunding and with its help not only collect the

required initial investment, but also get additional

advertising through social networks and learn valuable

opinions of consumers. Many investors realize that

they can control projects from the beginning to the

end, monitor the development of the project and help

as much as possible.

The development of the crowdfunding model of

venture financing in Uzbekistan is largely hindered by

the macroeconomic and organizational problems of

investment entrepreneurship:

- low quality of existing infrastructure for the

development of small and medium-sized innovative

organizations in the innovative field as possible objects

of venture financing;

- underdevelopment of the infrastructure that can

ensure the effective cooperation of venture industry

entities and small innovative organizations, the

emergence of new small and medium-sized innovative

enterprises and the development of existing ones;

- very little participation of local investment in venture

business, while mainly foreign investments are used;

- low liquidity of venture investments, which is largely

determined by the underdevelopment of the stock

market, which is a very important means of free exit of

venture funds from invested enterprises;

- lack of economic prospects that provide acceptable

risk to venture investors to attract direct investments

in high-tech sector enterprises;

- insufficient information support in the venture

- lack of incentives for the establishment of venture

funds: there is almost no regulatory and legal

documents that ensure venture financing of small

innovative businesses;

- lack of economic incentives for venture business and

a convenient and appropriate taxation system for

attracting investments in the organization of the high-

tech sector with an acceptable level of risk for venture

investors. The corporate and tax legislation of

Uzbekistan does not have specific incentives for the

participation of banking, pension, insurance or

corporate investments, but there are direct

prohibitions or obstacles.

CONCLUSIONS

Currently, one of the main problems of growing

innovative products in fruit and vegetable clusters is

the modern financing of the system, therefore it is

important to introduce a mechanism of subsidization

in the system of financing the processes of production,

storage, processing and delivery of fruit and vegetable

products in clusters operating in the network;

In our opinion, forming centers (laboratories) of

"Innovative developments and introduction of new

business ideas" within the clusters being formed in our

republic, attaching leading universities and research

institutes based on cluster specialization to them,

establishing strong cooperation with scientific and

innovative centers, venture funds and companies it is

appropriate to put. Fruit and vegetable cluster and

cluster members are invited to use alternative sources

of financing ("crowdfinancing") to finance their

operational and investment activities.

In order to increase the effectiveness of the financing

mechanism for innovations and technological

development in fruit and vegetable clusters in

Uzbekistan, it is recommended to develop an effective

mechanism for financing innovative structures - the

venture capital market, taking into account regional

and local sources.

Thus, the prospective task of developing the economy

of Uzbekistan is to create a venture infrastructure to

attract investment and activate venture business in

order to ensure the development of small businesses

and the innovative development of the local economy

in general.
