Subject Heading: Agrarian and industrial complex development

JEL Classification: 

Given the instability of "soil tillage" resulting in the instability of earnings of rural population, the latter has long been engaged in various kinds of by-work allowing the poorer farmers to earn their living. The paper in question analyses the current standing of subsidiary businesses and crafts, with the focus on their development in Kostroma district. The conclusion made is that the support of agricultural production should be accompanied by the expansion of non-agricultural employment related to the development of subsidiary trades as a form of small business in the countryside.
