Non-PRO (1): The Misha
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: No, this doesn't work. They are talking about replacing or making up for a shortfall from one source with supplies from another. Nothing to improve here, regardless of who "they" are.

: Только перефразировать немного:They have to compensate for the shortfall (Миша в своем комментарии выше дал отличную наводку) that stems from individual farms experiencing production declines, the closing down of old farms..etc

: "To compensate" requires the preposition "for" after it. It would be easier to translate this sentence, if the asker were to tell us what "они" are.

Of course "to compensate for"!!! Thanks Rachel!

substitute
They should substitute declining production in private farms, on the closing old farms, some imported products, to meet the demand, which, according to our estimates, will grow, and also to ensure a more active presence of Russian products on the foreign market.
Import substitution refers to the use of domestic products to replace imported goods, or, by limiting the import of industrial manufactured goods to promote domestic industrialization.

: Not "substitute declining production," but "substitute for declining production..." Same construction as with "compensate."
