The main contribution of this research project is to provide statistical evidence on some of the external factors that are perceived to have significant impact on the performance of Fablabs. The success of any Fablab requires sound understanding of the external factors that affect its performance. By surveying the sample of 140 Fablabs around the world we could identify four categories of external factors considered to be relevant for the performance of Fablabs, namely – customers/beneficiaries, access to finance, competitive business environment, and volunteers/workers. The original contribution of this research work comes from the lack of detailed knowledge on Fablabs’ performance and previous contradictory findings concerning Fablabs’ functioning in developed and developing market economies around the world.

External factors influencing Fablabs’ performance

he article is devoted to identifying factors and solving problems related to the fact that the Russian consumer market of meat and processed products remains one of the most vulnerable sectors of the economy. The research uses general scientific methods: complex, systematic and situational, as well as graphical methods, comparative analysis, index methods, forecasting methods, factor analysis, correlation analysis. It is shown that the high rate of concentration of the agricultural sector of the Russian economy leads to a reduction in the total number of active agricultural organizations, the absorption or squeezing out of this industry of small enterprises and the self-employed population. This leads to the emergence of a small number of agricultural giants and a decrease in the efficiency of using acreage and other agricultural land. It is proved that the growth in the size of agricultural organizations and an increase in the share of agricultural land controlled by them leads to a decrease in the share of agricultural areas for forage crops, a reduction in the number of cattle and a drop in beef production. The expediency of applying an ecosystem approach in the agricultural sector is proved. This approach makes it possible to use natural and human resources more efficiently based on the principles of the distributed use economy — the sharing economy. The conclusions drawn from the results of the study are important for theorists and practitioners, as they complement the existing knowledge necessary to solve problems related to ensuring sustainable development of the agricultural sector of the economy and meeting consumer demand.
