State regulation of innovative development of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan

The purpose is to substantiate the role of state regulation in the innovative development of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) of the Republic of Kazakhstan, ensuring the implementation of strategic objectives: economic diversification, achievement of technical and technological sovereignty, food security, and competitiveness of industries in an open market environment. Within the framework of theoretical and practical provisions, the following methods were used: abstract-logical, induction and deduction, comparative analysis of time series, indices, and synthesis. The application of a general scientific approach made it possible to study issues of public policy, identify macroeconomic goals for the modernization of the agrarian sector based on new competencies and innovations. Results – the experience of countries with advanced economic systems of institutional governance in optimizing the agro-industrial complex on an innovative basis is summarized. An assessment is given of the current state of realization of the resource potential of agro-industrial production, the effectiveness of the republic’s accession to the EAEU and the WTO, the growth of the potential for food imports, the structure of gross domestic product and the dynamics of its change. The investment strategy aimed at large-scale renewal of the agrarian sphere is considered, and the role of the transformation of administrative management in achieving it is revealed. Financial and economic mechanisms of state coordination of activities in agriculture, such as investment, subsidization, insurance, and lending, are analyzed. The necessity of expanding the scale of high-tech and export-oriented domestic agricultural machinery manufacturing in Kazakhstan is shown. Conclusions – by studying the main models of state participation, optimal options for promoting entrepreneurial activity in the AIC, stabilizing the monetary and credit mechanism, and maintaining market equilibrium have been identified. It is established that without state intervention in the agrarian sector, parity equilibrium of supply and demand is impossible. It is important for the state to invest in education and research to ensure a high level of knowledge, including the creation of specialized educational programs and the transfer of advanced technologies to farmers.
