A financial and economic model of the beef cattle breeding commodity farm in semi - desert zone has been developed, which reproduces real business processes in the form of mathematical dynamic relationships. Its best qualities, which make the model successful, informative and convenient are systematized. The rules of management of the studied models are presented. In terms of semi - desert zone in beef cattle breeding, net profit margins in the first three years are negative, in the eighth year it is 26%. The cost of cows and heifers older than 1 year is low, because they are not intended for sale, but are sold as a result of culling at a price which is lower than purchase price. In the eighth year of the farm operation, the return on sales of bulls is 31%, bulls older than 1 year - 65%. Net cash flow takes a positive value in the fourth year, and the payback of the project occurs in the eighth year of the farm. Net present value (NPV) - 56 342 thousand tenge. The generated financial and economic model is the basis for the development of a business calculator in commodity farms which grow beef cattle. By multivariate calculations it has been determined that the existing rate of long - term lease of agricultural land for foreigners lasting 10 years allows to pay back the invested funds in terms of the subjects of the considered specialization before its expiration.

The purpose of the publication is to review the state of organic agriculture in the world and assess the possibility of its development in Kazakhstan. Organic production is becoming one of the leading characteristics of agricultural sector of the developed countries in the world, and represents a steadily expanding segment of rural economy. The article discusses the trends of organic diversification of agriculture in the world and economically developed countries, shows the growing share of organic land in the total area of arable land. The development of the institutional system of environmental agriculture in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union is noted. A brief analysis of the state of organic agricultural production in the Republic of Kazakhstan is given and the need for its ecological diversification is justified. On the example of the Almaty region, the potential opportunities for the rehabilitation of previously used lands for the production of food products and agricultural raw materials are revealed. Based on the study of the ecology of natural agricultural systems and soil reclamation state in view of their suitability for organic production, a forecast of a possible increase in cultivated land and the volume of bioproducts produced until 2070 is done. Dynamic diversification will allow by this period to bring the regional share of organic crops in total sown area according to the pragmatic scenario to 44%, optimal - to 28, real - to 23%; organic production in comparable grain units, up to 79, 40 and 30%, respectively.

An important condition for the effective development of each region of the country is the solution of the tasks of the State programs in agri - food sector. The article shows the regional differences in natural, economic conditions, taking into account the characteristics of each region. Underestimated territorial factor in the context of the regions is manifested in the imperfect production relations with other regional entities. The implementation of the goals is carried out under the influence of macroeconomic policies in relation to agricultural sector of the republic’s economy, focused on taking advantage of the territorial labor division, interregional integration, combination of multidirectional economic interests of regional structures, implementation of socio - economic measures, eliminating existing territorial disparities and regional development with rational use of available resources. Each territory should develop and implement its own agro - industrial complex strategy, the need for which is caused by its main goal - increasing the efficiency of agricultural production. In the absence of a strategy, the regional agro - industrial complex will develop in conditions of uncertainty, which will negatively affect its functioning, stable supply of food to the population, and industry - agricultural raw materials. The most favorable prerequisites for the development of innovation process in agro - industrial production of the region is the support by regional bodies of not individual enterprises, but their structures for the development and implementation of new technologies in the agricultural and processing industries.

The priorities of agricultural policy of Kazakhstan are shown. The issues of sustainable development of its agricultural sector and the ways of their solution in the framework of the implementation of the State programs aimed to support agricultural sector of the republic are explored. The methods and forms of State regulation of agricultural sector are analyzed, its main directions are indicated. Particular attention is paid to subsidizing and lending to agribusiness entities. Aspects of employment in the country's agriculture were examined, and support measures were studied. The main directions of the development of agricultural labor market, the potential of labor resources are presented, in particular, within the frame of the implementation of the State program on the development of productive employment and mass entrepreneurship for 2017-2021. The authors state that regulation of agricultural production must be considered comprehensively, taking into account the optimal combination of public administration and market levers. An effective agricultural policy is needed, which combines macro and microeconomic processes in agricultural sector and related sectors of economy. The geography of export of Kazakhstan agricultural products is shown. The role of the long - term sectoral programs in the implementation of the main directions of development of agricultural sector and processing industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2027 is justified according to seven priorities.

Social and economic development of the country depends on the effective management of the system - wide issues of agro-industrial complex development of Kazakhstan. Among them: backwardness of agricultural technologies, physical and moral deterioration of fixed assets; significant losses of irrigation water, inefficient use of natural resources; small commodity businesses; lack of high - quality raw materials for industrial processing and a low share of domestic deep - processed products on domestic food market; insignificant degree of attraction of investments in agricultural sector; insufficient development of rural cooperation. The specific features of agricultural industry are due to the production of food for the population and raw materials for other sectors of economy, and labor reproduction. It is shown that a high level of agricultural production ensures food security of the State. The main indicators of the financial and economic activities of agricultural enterprises are analyzed: the volume of manufactured products, sales income, its cost, as well as the services provided, the profitability (unprofitability) of production. A selective study of agricultural organizations of the republic of various organizational and legal forms was carried out. The factors limiting production activity and entrepreneurial activity are investigated. It was revealed that for a deeper understanding of the problems in agricultural sector, it is necessary to determine the reasons for that, and if they are neglected, they will negatively affect the food independence of the country.

The issues of ensuring food security of the country - the main task of implementing agricultural policy, issues of State regulation of agricultural sector are analyzed. Its criteria and the most important principles are considered. The economic and statistical information on food supply of the main types of products, data on its monitoring are presented. The analysis of prices for socially significant food products. Methods and measures aimed at the effective development of agricultural production to ensure food independence of the republic are studied. The issue of food supply is considered by the authors in the context of the State reforms in agricultural sector. The guidelines for food security in the frame of the implementation of the State program on development of the agro - industrial complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2017-2021 are indicated. The priorities of industrial functioning are shown. The vector of increasing the competitiveness of domestic agricultural products aimed to achieve food independence of the State is justified. The directions of foreign economic public policy in solving the food issue are indicated. Ensuring food security is regarded as one of the main ways of sustainable development of agricultural sector and processing industry. Food security should be considered in a threefold set of tasks: optimal amount of produced food raw materials, a high level of its quality, that is, security; energy and nutritional value of each product and rational structure of consumption.

Aspects of feasibility of using correlation and regression analysis to assess the economic efficiency of agricultural resources of Almaty region are reflected. The purpose of the work is the theoretical understanding of the possibilities of expanding the scope of the correlation and regression analysis in combination with modeling by constructing production functions (CRA and MPF) to solve the problems of preparing quality information in order to form realistic guidelines and implement effective production management. The interconnections and interdependencies between economic phenomena are revealed. Correlation and regression analyzes are widely used in statistics aimed to solve such problems, selected factors that have reliable statistical data for their implementation. The theoretical and practical principles of a system analysis of assessing the effective management of production potential of the region are revealed. For more complete use of methodological capabilities of correlation and regression analysis, studies have been carried out by constructing various types of production functions. Nonstandard cases of parameter interpretation are analyzed. Methods of adapting models of production functions, practicality criterion, based on the needs of theory and practice in improving methods for assessing the effectiveness of the use of production factors, resources and measures, are justified. The article was prepared based on the results of a study in the framework of grant project No. AP05130910 of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the topic: “Information technologies and mathematical methods in the effective management of resource potential of agricultural enterprises of the Republic of Kazakhstan”.

World experience in the field of public - private partnerships (PPP), incl. agricultural sector, indicates that this tool has proved its advantage in solving many problems of a socio - economic nature. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the development of PPP in Kazakhstan, an assessment of its current state is presented. The practice of attracting private investment in the implementation of infrastructure projects, including the agricultural sector, on the principles of public - private partnership is noted. The Kazakhstani and foreign experience of interaction between the State and business through the PPP mechanism, as well as existing models and mechanisms for the implementation of its projects, are analyzed. Issues of ensuring their effective and timely use, caused, first of all, by the insufficient level of application of project management tools were identified. The ways of resolving these issues by clearly structured project scenarios within the framework of the requirements of the national standard for their management are recommended. The regulatory - legal framework of the republic regarding the planning and implementation of public - private partnership projects has been studied. Weaknesses were identified and measures to improve them were developed. The main factors contributing to the successful and productive implementation are identified. Directions to attract the accumulated managerial experience of entrepreneurship, innovation, and resources into the public sector are proposed. Recommendations on planning and implementation of a PPP action plan from the perspective of the project approach were developed.

The perspective directions of intersectoral economic cooperation in agricultural sector of Kazakhstan are shown. In modern conditions, economic relations between countries are characterized by accelerated development of production factors, increased openness of national economies for the movement of agricultural raw materials, products and food in order to ensure food security. The economic interconnection of states leads to a rapprochement in economic development through the use of innovations for effective functioning in a significant territorial space. It is noted that intersectoral cooperation, based on cooperation and integration of production, allows individual countries to maximize the benefits of the international division of labor, improve production specialization, apply advanced experience and innovative technologies in agricultural sector. The agricultural sector of the states of the Eurasian Economic Union, which is important in the formation of the national gross domestic product, is analyzed. The state of grain industry, the basis for the functioning of domestic agribusiness, is considered, which is systemically important for other sectors of economy and serves as an indicator of economic well-being of the republic. The development of grain sector is possible if a single agricultural policy of the countries is created with creation of conditions for expanded production and deep processing of grain, mutual trade and export, while strengthening the competitiveness of the grain-producing industry.

The role of agricultural sector in the economy of the republic and taxation system of entrepreneurs holding patents on the basis of a special tax regime, primarily, without the use of employees, as well as in the form of individual entrepreneurship, are examined. The features of taxation due to the increase in minimum wage in accordance with applicable law are shown. The analysis of three simplified taxation mechanisms was conducted: for small and medium-sized businesses, legal entities - producers of agricultural products and production cooperatives. The procedure for using the single land tax for farmers in a special system of calculating and paying taxes and fees has been determined. For legal entities engaged in agricultural activities, tax procedures in agricultural production, processing, sales of crop and livestock products are analyzed, and regarding agricultural cooperatives - in the processing and further use of farm products. In the frame of the Digital Kazakhstan program, which foresees the creation of conditions for the entrepreneurship development with strong ties between business, the scientific sphere and the State, introduction of innovations in production, specifics of applying applied projects to determine the tax burden in financing leasing of agricultural producers are reflected. As a result of the study, tax regulation methods and tax incentives differentiated by certain types of agricultural products in conditions of competitiveness of agribusiness entities of the Republic of Kazakhstan are proposed.

The issues of lending mechanism to agricultural production of the republic are studied, and the pace of the country's economic development depends on its effective functioning. It is determined that the solution of issues of its financial support contributes to the implementation of tasks in the field of agricultural policy, and is also one of the directions of public support for the agricultural sector development. The features of agricultural lending are investigated. Its dynamics, volume of loans in the regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan are analyzed. It was revealed that lending system for agricultural production does not always take into account the objective features of this sector of economy: the need for borrowed resources, the dependence of agricultural producer on natural conditions and other factors. The authors state that global trends in provision of credit resources in agricultural sector include diversification of forms of financial intermediation (with the priority role of commercial banks); the orientation of second-tier banks on large-scale agricultural production as the most reliable customer; indirect transition from direct participation of the state in lending to agricultural production. The problems of issuing borrowed funds for agriculture are shown, among which financial institutions are not interested in a credit line to this sector of the economy, due to its inherent high risks; agribusiness financing reduction higher transaction (transaction) costs in rural areas. Recommended ways to address these issues with the support of the state.

The agricultural sector has a pronounced specificity of activity, occupying a special place in the country's economy. Taking into account the characteristics of entrepreneurial activity in this industry, the definition of its concept is provided. The article considers the economic and social orientation of small and medium-sized businesses in rural areas at the present stage of its development. The indicators of agricultural production of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are analyzed: peasant (private) farms, individual entrepreneurs, personal subsidiary farms of the population. The role of entrepreneurial initiative in agricultural sector is shown. A comparative analysis and a systematic approach to the study of agricultural business in the republic were used. The entrepreneurial activity in agricultural sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan is characterized by a stable increase in the efficiency of agricultural production, the development of food market, material and technical, financial services in the countryside, and improvement in the quality of life of the rural population. As a result of the study, the author summarizes the problems of the small and medium agribusiness development, defines support measures for SMEs taking into account the functions performed in the value chain of the final agricultural product. State regulation of small and mediumsized enterprises in many respects depends on the characteristics of agro-industrial production of the republic and its economy as a whole. The main goal set by the author is to analyze various approaches to the development of small and medium business structures in agricultural sector.

Financial analysis - an essential element of financial management of organization and audit. The author notes that almost all users of financial statements of enterprises use financial analysis methods to make decisions aimed to optimize their interests - the study of the main indicators of economic condition and financial results of production structure in order to make managerial, investment and other intentions. Terms of a broader aspect: analysis of financial and economic activities of the enterprise and economic evaluation. In practice, systematization of financial documentation is carried out using MS Excel tables or special programs. Quantitative calculations of various indicators, ratios, coefficients, a qualitative assessment and description, comparison with similar data of other objects are carried out. Consideration of financial instruments includes an analysis of the assets and liabilities of the enterprise, its solvency, liquidity, financial performance and stability, asset turnover (business activity). It is shown that financial analysis reveals such an important aspect as the possible probability of bankruptcy. It is an integral part of the activities of auditors, appraisers. The banks actively use the study the financial indicators of the organization, in takin decisions on the issue of loans; accountants - during the preparation of the explanatory note for the annual reporting and other specialists. Economic analysis allows to track the dynamics of structural changes in the financial condition of the enterprise.

In the implementation of one of the main directions of AIC development program, the priority is given to increasing the competitiveness of grain, which is the only large-scale export product of agricultural production, the source of income for agricultural producers, the basis for the livestock development, which plays an important role in ensuring the country's food security. The article notes that in the Republic with a significant variety of natural and economic conditions for conducting grain production, its effectiveness is largely determined by the territorial-sectoral labor division and interregional exchange. However, the instability of domestic and foreign grain markets, high railway tariffs for grain transportation make it difficult to form a rational structure in grain-producing industry depending on the region and increase its efficiency. The reasons for the insufficient use of grain storage capacities (about 50%) are identified, which increases production cost. Storage of marketable grain by agricultural producers often in unsuitable storages worsens its quality indicators, increases weight loss, and therefore reduces the competitiveness of Kazakhstan grain. At the same time, in the country there is a concentration of elevators which are owned by individual domestic and foreign enterprises, while foreign companies purchase the most modern and efficiently operating companies, located in key grain production regions of the country.

The methodological aspects of formulation of statistical models of economic processes, in particular, the movement of milk market price, taking into account seasonal factors, are considered. It is noted that when modeling the main results of measurement process in the past, the overestimated optimistic or pessimistic forecasts are observed. Model parameters are too sensitive to changes in economic environment. It was revealed that in the dynamics of milk prices sold by agricultural entrepreneurs of the Kostanay region, relatively low prices are observed during the period of “big milk” from April to August-September. In turn, this season follows with a lag of 2-3 months after the period of mass calving (winter - first half of spring) on farms, especially in house-holds. The dominant position of private farms and small commercial enterprises in the total milk supplies volume to the market has a decisive influence on the seasonality of production and these product costs. It is shown that only with the development of intensive animal husbandry, one should expect equalization of sales volumes of this food product. The methodology of forecasting prices based on chain indices is free of many shortages inherent in methods on using own prices for dairy raw materials, and is characterized by a high degree of accuracy. In addition, it allows to quickly adjust the forecast for milk prices, based on the latest data on their level.

In recent years, Kazakhstan and Russia have adopted a number of government programs aimed at developing beef cattle breeding. This issue is relevant at present, since the republic has a unique set of resource potential for the development of this industry and potential sales markets. The aim of the study is to find optimal solutions for creating beef cattle herds associated with various lending options for these projects and maintaining the high genetic status of farmed animals. The article discusses the current status of the implementation of existing programs on development of beef cattle breeding. Planned indicators of the formation of beef cattle herd with expanded reproduction are presented. A schedule of repaying credit debt has been calculated, taking into account the possible sales volumes of breeding and commodity livestock. It has been determined that in the existing terms for loan funds repayment, enterprises are forced to send most of the received young stock to the market. The authors believe that it is necessary to control not only investment and economic, but also breeding and technological parameters. For the effective development of beef cattle breeding, the necessity of forming a loan portfolio with a long repayment period is justified. This will reduce the need for loan provision and generate an incentive for business entities to expand the reproduction of meat livestock herds.

The main trends in the development of milk and dairy products market in the republic are shown. The cattle population in various forms of management is analyzed. The growth dynamics of the dairy stock and the average milk yield per 1 cow was calculated. The emphasis is placed on increasing its productivity, justified by the increase of the areas under fodder crops in recent years. An analysis of production of milk and processed products was conducted. It was revealed that at dairy processing plants there is a shortage of raw materials, low quality of milk, work with small suppliers, and low quality roads. The inefficiency of small business entities in production of environmentally friendly milk and processed products was noted. Currently, the need for the development of milk and environmentally friendly dairy products market is justified by the increased demand of the population for healthy nutrition. The authors believe that for the development of dairy industry in the republic the following is needed: first of all, its technological reequipment, creation of cluster structures for production, processing and product sales, the increase in its final output in monetary terms per unit of agricultural raw materials, development of agro-industrial integration of various forms of management, public support of domestic manufacturers. Kazakhstani producers should pay attention to improving the quality of raw materials aimed to increase the competitiveness of the industry.

The analysis of milk production in households - business entities was conducted. Particular attention is paid to this product, useful for daily nutrition and human health. The dynamics of milk production in all categories of farms in the regions of the republic based on statistical data for 2011-2018 is presented. For the same period, a table in which an analysis of the indicators of this dairy product produced in households is presented, the share of which is 80%. Among rural residents of the Turkestan region, a survey was conducted on production of cow's milk in households. As a result, average family sizes, livestock population, and feed losses were identified. The obtained information on costs of maintaining one cow, diet and feed types was studied. Problems with milk sales on personal subsidiary farms are shown, for example, in it analysis a discrepancy with microbiological standards was found. The milking by direct contact is observed, with the presence of bacteria, low-grade dairy raw materials sold at a low price. Households cooperation is recommended, as well as cooperation with large agricultural enterprises, improve the quality of the dairy product and improve its collection and processing. Only cooperation opens up real opportunities for increasing the competitiveness and sustainable functioning of households as market entities.

According to the long-term forecasts, as a result of population growth in the world, the rate of food consumption will increase by average of 1.2% per year. Also, food products trade will increase. Consequently, agriculture has large reserves for development and high potential. The article reveals the relevance, dynamics and prospects of expanding niche products global market. The authors emphasized crops such as rape, flax, and lentils. The status, trends and forecasts of their global market are presented. There is currently no consensus on which crops to consider niche crops. Some experts suggest to refer to them agricultural plants that require further deep processing and are used in related industries, while others include cereals and oilseeds as niche crops. Their increased assortment is a development trend in the global agricultural market. The situation in grain production is so that, farmers are reducing their acreage for wheat to a greater extent, giving priority to cost-effective niche crops, the cultivation of which has promising directions for diversifying production, processing and export for both small and medium-sized enterprises and large agricultural enterprises. It is noted that food security in the world market is ensured by the potential of niche crops, which are environmentally friendly and highly profitable.

The current state of the oilseed market of the East Kazakhstan region, the main supplier of seeds in the country, as well as raw materials for oil processing enterprises, have been investigated. The analysis of the development of oil and fat industry of East Kazakhstan region for 2014-2018, was conducted in the following economic components: gross yield, productivity, sown area, level of utilization of average annual production capacities, production and consumption, export and import volumes. The volumes of vegetable oil production by types of oilseeds, which are important resources and sources of raw materials for production and processing, are presented. The main problems of the oil and fat industry of the region, the activity of which are significantly influenced by environmental factors, as well as its quantitative and qualitative indicators, are identified and ways to solve them are proposed. The prospects for the development of internal and external sales markets are shown. It is noted that it is necessary to obtain high-quality raw materials (oilseeds) in order to increase the efficiency of the oil and fat industry in the region and the republic, to solve important problems related to ensuring the food security of the country, in particular, the formation of the production cycle: selection - cultivation - storage, processing of oilseeds. The emphasis is made on the appropriateness of providing public support to provide farmers with quality seeds and modern equipment (subsidies, loans); increasing control over the export of high quality oilseeds, stimulate the export of final products (vegetable oil).

The article is devoted to the problems of financial support of agricultural cooperatives of Kazakhstan. Their role in supporting households is examined. The relevance of the implementation of government programs, including measures of financial assistance to joint, is substantiated. The necessity of additional attraction of internal and external sources of financing is revealed. The leaders in the formation of new cooperative structures, which are mainly the southern and eastern regions of the republic, are identified. The number of registered production cooperatives in Kazakhstan, as well as the number of applications which were approved for receiving financial resources from the Fund for Financial Support of Agriculture (hereinafter referred to as the Fund) are analyzed. The directions of the State program on development of the AIC of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2017-2021 are shown, which foresee financial support for cooperatives in the agricultural sector: preferential right to lease and receive investment subsidies for the purchase of agricultural machinery and equipment; State assistance for the creation of associations of auditors of agricultural cooperatives, as well as soft loans with simplified lending criteria from subsidiaries of KazAgro NMH JSC. The programs of soft loans for joint enterprises by the Fund are considered. The ways of solving the problems of the development of agricultural cooperation are proposed, which contribute to increasing the labor productivity of members of the cooperative, increasing revenue from the sale of products and provision of services, and increasing the volume of investments in fixed assets.

The achieved living standard of the rural population is analyzed, the development of these processes in the country is evaluated. Physical conditions (demography, education, health, housing, employment and income) are considered as the most important indicators of human potential. The analysis showed that according to some criteria included in the life quality index, the republic has not yet approached average values compared with countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The main indicators of socio-economic statistics indicate that each of the components of the living standard reflects a quantitative or qualitative characteristic of one of the aspects of material well-being of rural residents, and the level of economic development of the regions is a determining factor. The relevance of solving the problem of improving the well-being of the rural population based on a competitive economy is shown. The importance of implementing the mechanism of sustainable development of rural territories, in view of their high proportion, socio-economic uneven incomes of the population, and the reduction of “unpromising” villages, is determined. It was revealed that in spite of the wide study of the problem of assessing the quality of life, there is no single scientifically sound methodology that takes into account the characteristics of the villagers and their territories. Recommendations are given on improving the living conditions in the countryside, creating decent living conditions for the rural population, improving the culture of rural life and improving the way of life.

The issues of export potential of agricultural sector of Kazakhstan were studied, macroeconomic indicators and the state of agricultural sector regarding production and export of agricultural products were analyzed. The weaknesses and strengths of the domestic agricultural sector are revealed. The main export goods are the advantage - wheat, barley, corn and oilseeds and export markets of Russia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. At the same time, the weak point is high share of agricultural imports in the country's foreign trade, which is associated with a low level of domestic production, which results in import dependence on some types of food products. It was determined that the average annual food growth rate does not correspond to the growth of consumption and financial incomes of the population. The market shortage is covered by imports, and its share in domestic consumption is quite high. The analysis showed that the main reasons are related to the raw material orientation of agricultural production, under-loading of production capacities, low level of implementation of innovative technologies and poor technical equipment. Suggestions on the further development of the processing industry, investment in rural infrastructure and increasing access to finance for small and medium-sized agribusiness entities through the development of public-private partnerships are proposed.

The features of State regulation, support for small and medium-sized enterprises (hereinafter referred to as SMEs) in countries with developed market economies are considered, in which special State organizations have been created that protect the interests of entrepreneurs and monitor the implementation of government programs. It is noted that public support to SMEs is based on legislative, legal and financial bases, organizational and economic measures and scientific research. Two most common forms of support are shown: the legislative long-term programs for the development of small and medium-sized businesses and the inclusion of it as a component into State economic and social priorities. It is indicated that agribusiness in the United States is organized and integrated into public structures through special committees of the Congress, Administration for Small Business, a system of regional associations, incubators of agricultural entrepreneurship. In Japan, where medium and small businesses operate efficiently in all areas and are the most active and stable market element in the development of competition, the main role of the State in relation to small and medium enterprises in facilitating their modernization and business management is fixed by law. The experience of the United Kingdom is presented, where the program for expanding agricultural business is adopted. The importance of successfully implemented State programs in Kazakhstan “Development of productive employment and mass entrepreneurship for 2017-2021”, “Business roadmap 2020” is highlighted.

The development of regions ensures economic growth, improving the level and life quality of the country's population. In conditions of increased competition, the regional subject becomes independent, entering into competitive relations in the inter-regional exchange and on the world market. It is noted that management of regional development needs improvement related to the need to move from a resource-based model of regulation to the innovative one in order to ensure self-sufficiency. It is shown that as a result of globalization of economy, the regions closely interact with each other. The study of foreign experience in the formation and implementation of innovative policies revealed a peculiarity - regional programs of socio-economic development in developed industrial countries were developed and implemented earlier than national programs. These States have developed agriculture, the welfare of the country depends on the level of their agricultural production. One of the most important areas is the digitalization of the agro-industrial complex, in the framework of which the main emphasis is placed on the introduction of elements of precision farming and “smart farms” that provide the greatest effect. Digitalization of the republic’s industry will increase the reliability of state statistical accounting, stimulate the introduction of high technologies that increase agricultural production and its competitiveness, create systems that are characterized by high productivity, predictability and the ability to adapt to changes, including those that are taking place due to climate variations. This, in turn, contributes to increased food security, profitability and sustainability.
