The article deals with the analysis of the state of development of main branches of agriculture and AIC as a whole, provision of the population of the republic with basic food products, assessment of mechanism of public support for the industry, main factors restraining the increase in the volume of agro-industrial production of the Republic of Kazakhstan (concentration of production in households; unsatisfactory quality of raw materials; seasonality and uneven supply of processing enterprises; lack of interconnection between agricultural producers, processing industry and trade; insufficient influence of public support on profitability, production efficiency, etc.). Taking into account the current problems of the small-scale commodity nature of agricultural sector, the necessity of cooperation of small forms of farming, creation of wholesale distribution and trade and logistics centers in order to bring together the efforts of all agricultural producers in one commodity flow, the availability of marketing of agricultural products and provision of competitive products to consumers has been justified. Measures on development of priority areas of agro-industrial complex of the republic (provision of the population with food of its own production, improvement of public support measures and regulation of agricultural sectors, development of processing of agricultural products, effectiveness of the system of promoting products from producer to consumer, increasing export potential of agricultural enterprises, etc.) are presented. The strategic tasks of agricultural production growth have been substantiated, for the achievement of which the optimal use of available resources, transition to fundamentally new qualitative characteristics, provision of high rates of increase in crop yields and animal productivity, taking into account the location of production in the most favorable conditions (specialization), the use of innovative technologies, zoned progressive varieties and breeds, increase in technical equipment are needed.

The article is devoted to the discussion of issues related to the rational use of pasture lands, which form the basis of fodder base of animal husbandry. On the basis of statistical data on the presence of huge areas of pasture turnover and their feed capacity in the republic, the possibility of producing inexpensive ecologically clean livestock products on them is justified. Half of them (100 mln ha) are currently withdrawn from agricultural use and are classified as reserve lands. Their use in the near futureis a large reserve for improving food supply of the country's population with meat and meat products, and for increasing exports. The authors note that Kazakhstan has adopted a project to export 60 of thous. tons of beef. For production of such quantity of meat, it is necessary to keep livestock weighing 120 thous. tons, or about 300 thous. heads of cattle slaughtered annually for the sale of exported beef. It was revealed that 15% of the available pasture lands, or 26.5 mln ha, are degraded, a significant part of them are located in the territory belonging to rural settlements. This is the reason for the deterioration of the environment in rural areas. The article provides data from many years of research by scientists on seasonal pastures "spring-summer-autumn" suitable for grazing of cattle, their area is 68 mln ha, including in arid and desert regions - about 22.8 mln ha.

The purpose of the study is to study and substantiate the criteria and indicators for ensuring the country's food security - one of the multifaceted problems of international and national character, affecting many social groups of the population. Food security characterizes the state of agro-industrial complex, in which, regardless of external and internal conditions, decrease in the State food reserve, the needs of residents for products are satisfied in accordance with physiological norms, in volumes sufficient for active and healthy life. The article considers FAO's methodological approaches to assessing food supply based on the availability of grain reserves and its per capita production, which are necessary for economic security at the interstate level. The problems associated with macroeconomic situation, production efficiency and the level of profitability of the population of the republic are considered. Data on development of agricultural production, income and quality of food is provided. It is shown that Kazakhstan is moving to a new stage of ensuring food security and price control by creating a national distribution network - a complex of wholesale distribution centers (WDC). A similar system operates in France, Spain and other economically developed countries. This project will be implemented in three stages until 2022, it is planned to build 24 WDC, which will act as a warehouse and manage product flows at retail outlets, distributing it among them.

The priority task for Kazakhstan is to increase the competitiveness of the national economy. The formation of competitive advantages of industries and enterprises of agro-industrial complex is of particular importance in scientific aspects and in business practice. Scientifically based technologies of agricultural production envisage production and sale of agricultural products and food products in the required volumes, which are competitive on domestic and foreign markets. The authors note that one of the main problems in processing of raw materials is the low output of final goods from raw unit. In order to fill export niches and ensure import substitution, new export-oriented sectors of the agro-industrial complex have been studied. In particular, in processing industry, the transition to international quality standards for technical and technological re-equipment of production, as well as expanding the range of food products and creating equal conditions for competition with main trading partners in the Eurasian Economic Union remains relevant. The results of the study allowed us to conclude that it is necessary to make amendments in matters of technical regulation, trade, protection of competition, information, customs and border services, improve organizational and economic structure of agricultural sector in the following priority areas of management: development of integration in AIC, agro-industrial entities performing procurement functions, storage, transportation, processing and marketing, organization of agricultural markets, ensuring formation of effective material resources. Thus, it can be stated that increasing the competitiveness of agricultural products depends on many factors, the observance of which is an indispensable condition for the recovery of the industry's economy.

The State policy of regulation of agricultural sector is focused on the implementation of food security programs, increasing the availability of financing for agribusiness entities, optimal regimes of their taxation, subsidies, lending, support for innovative projects in seed production, breeding, reducing the cost of water, mineral fertilizers, seed disinfectants and herbicides, fuels and lubricants, equipment and machinery leasing. The mechanism for allocation of loans funds corresponds to the principles of repayment, urgency, payment, aimed at achieving specific goals. The article gives an assessment of modern operating systems of lending to rural producers: grain purchase; through the system of rural lending partnerships; provision of agricultural machinery and equipment on lease basis; production and purchase of livestock products; organization of spring field and harvesting works. The need to optimize government regulation based on agricultural protectionism is noted. The State should become the subject of regulation of competition on domestic market, which will increase the competitiveness of national agricultural production. It was revealed that direct budgetary support for prices for agricultural products is able to ensure the profitability of agricultural sector. The authors believe that one of the most successful mechanisms in the world practice is market of financial institutions aimed to provide the AIC with long-term and inexpensive loan resources. It is emphasized that the systems of stimulation of production, sale of seeds, certification and other organizational and economic measures of public support for selection and individual links of seed production of grain crops are of great importance.

The system of measures of public support for production of export-oriented agricultural products in Kazakhstan and the EAEU member States is considered, directions for its improvement are determined. Indicators of production of gross domestic product, gross agricultural output, the share of crop production industry in it on average for 2015-2019 are presented. The prospects for export of domestic food have been studied; for this purpose, it is necessary to strengthen agricultural specialization of each industry. The authors note that phytosanitary measures are currently not regulated, there is no unified method for calculating the level of support, unified requirements for obtaining breeding products, a unified procedure for animal identification, unified rules for laboratory research and veterinary control. It is required to systematize and harmonize the existing tools and mechanisms for the development of the branches of agro-industrial complex of the republic in order to form a single market for the States of the Eurasian Economic Union, as well as develop sectoral programs. The article substantiates the need for systematic public support for the development of agro-industrial complex, aimed at meeting the needs of the domestic market and the implementation of centralized policy to promote exports. It is shown that environmental friendliness is one of the main competitive advantages of food products in the republic, contributing to the strengthening of Kazakhstan's positions on external sales market. The structure of exports of Kazakhstani agricultural products should be focused on reducing the share of raw materials in favor of agricultural products with high added value. In industries with high export potential, large specialized commodity zones and optimal flows of goods will be formed in order to ensure the country's food security.

The article analyzes the issues of development of grain market in Kazakhstan. The purpose of the study is to summarize the developments on the competitiveness of economic entities in grain industry, aimed at increasing the sustainability of their functioning in modern conditions of market competition. The authors set the following tasks: to analyze theoretical foundations of the essence and specifics of competitive advantages of grain complex, to identify and systematize the factors affecting its sustainable development, to show the main methods and tools for increasing competitiveness, to assess the current state of development of grain-producing enterprises in the republic. On the basis of the conducted studies, a comprehensive methodology for determining the profitability of grain economic structures was proposed, which consists in analyzing the indicators of their production and technological, organizational and managerial, financial and economic potential by creating effective relationships with suppliers, competitors, contact audience, organizing coordinating relations, marketing activities, allowing to identify promising directions for increasing the competitiveness of grain production in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The implementation of the formulated proposals will strengthen the position of Kazakhstani agricultural producers, will contribute to increasing the volume of high quality products, which will allow the republic to win the competition on the world grain market.

The theoretical and practical directions of development of ecological agriculture in the country are justified, based on the idea of closed cycle, which corresponds to ecological and economic principles. The works of domestic and foreign scientists on this issue were studied. The main economic indicators of agricultural production on the example of Pavlodar region were analyzed: dynamics of gross output of agricultural sector; the number of operating agricultural enterprises and peasant (private) farms; distribution of the land fund by land categories. Information on violation of environmental legislation in the field of land resources protection and on the volume of waste in the industry is provided. The problems that hinder the implementation of the main provisions of greening of production activities in agro-industrial complex are identified. Summarizing the arguments of domestic and foreign scientists, the need to develop and implement the mechanism of functioning of agricultural entities is shown, which is based on the use of secondary resources, implementation of which in the future will allow, using comprehensive analysis of the used technologies, to modernize the production capacities of processing enterprises, implementing the principle of minimizing waste, ensuring expansion of the market for environmenttally friendly products. Models of rational production are shown: outsourcing and in sourcing. Measures of public support for the use of environmental innovations, environmental insurance, public-private partnership instruments, strengthening control over compliance with the principles of rational environmental management, economic incentives for agricultural producers are proposed.

Based on the study of commercialization of the results of scientific research in agricultural sector, the article discusses the issues of using scientific discoveries in Kazakhstan and shows ways to solve them to improve the efficiency of the country's agro-industrial complex, create competitive environment, accelerate effective application of innovations. The main barriers to the commercialization of scientific achievements in the field of agricultural production are identified. The authors note that incentives are needed only for the targeted selection of projects on competitive basis with emphasis on promising areas of innovative development of agro-industrial complex, and also draw attention to the fact that for the growth of indicators of commercialization of agricultural enterprises and other economic entities, they aim to get benefits from introduction of innovations into production, prove their production viability in all parameters that determine their innovative activity. Internal costs for research and development work are analyzed depending on the types of work. As a result, it was found that funding for scientific research in the country remains at a low level, the level of funds invested in R&D is significantly inferior to economically developed countries. The information on the innovative infrastructure contributing to the successful commercialization of scientific results is presented. Thus, the most important task of the scientific and innovative process, which ensures the relevance and practical feasibility of innovative projects, is the commercialization of technologies.

The author examines the problems that have arisen in food market: rising food prices, restrictions on the supply of agricultural raw materials due to the coronavirus pandemic around the world. It is shown that in Kazakhstan the size of GDP for 8 months of 2020 decreased in relation to the same period in 2019 by 3%. The statistical data on changes in the level of development of sectors of the national economy for August 2020, the amount of gross output of agriculture, forestry and fishery in the republic are presented. State measures to support farmers in the current situation have been substantiated. Literary sources are summarized with emphasis on the importance and role of attracting foreign capital to agricultural sector. The analysis of investment projects for production, processing and storage of agricultural products is carried out on the example of Almaty region. Foreign investors who, together with the participation of government agencies, allocate material resources for modernization, reconstruction, construction of new factories and agricultural complexes are presented. At the same time, great attention is paid to increasing the efficiency of production facilities and innovative agricultural technologies. Subsectors of agriculture have been identified, where investments in this region are involved as a priority. The barriers and problems of limiting foreign investment in agro-industrial complex during the period of "COVID 19" are identified: uncertainty of continuation of the pandemic, the volatility of world oil prices, trade wars and sanctions, dollarization of the economy, etc. Recommendations and prospects for improving the implementation of investment projects are presented.

The article examines the issues of public support and its impact on the development of agricultural production in the context of integration of national economies. The agro-industrial complex is one of the most important strategic sectors of the member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. Despite functioning in the conditions of turbulence of the world commodity markets, in agricultural sphere of the EAEU there are currently positive trends. The role of the lending system in AIC complex, contributing to the solution of the problems of financial support of agricultural producers, is considered. The objective need for lending support for agriculture is due to a number of reasons, the main of which are the peculiarities of agricultural production, inequality in the exchange of goods with industry, the need to overcome negative trends in development of the industry. The assessment of the lending policy in agricultural sector, which is focused on a narrow circle of borrowers, does not contain effective mechanisms for lending to economic entities, is limited in the choice of methods for determining the level of creditworthiness of agricultural enterprises and ways to assist in obtaining loans to farms in different economic situations. Based on the analysis of lending to agro-industrial production of the EAEU countries, the existing problems of recent years are shown. In the final part, the authors formulate the prospects for strengthening integration ties within the Eurasian Economic Union. Recommendations on improving lending system, contributing to the effective development of agro-industrial complex of each country, improving economic relations in domestic and foreign markets are presented.

The relevance of the topic is determined by the importance in modern conditions of formation of mechanism for effective risk management in agriculture - one of the priority tasks of the development of agro-industrial complex. The authors analyze the problems of using the insurance mechanism in agricultural sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Its importance in increasing the efficiency of production in the branches of agro-industrial complex is shown. Variants of using the insurance system such as risk management tool are considered, foreign experience in this area is studied. The features that characterize the insurance activity in crop production are revealed. For agricultural crops, this is government participation aimed at protecting farms from losses caused by emergencies; financial assistance in the implementation of insurance is manifested in the form of compensation for damage caused by insured events. It has been established that the existing insurance sector does not solve the main problem of protecting the property interests of policyholder related to compensation for losses if insurance payments are required. It was revealed that this mechanism has not received widespread use due to the extremely short term for concluding insurance policy. The aggregated nature of the indices makes it possible to obtain quantitative estimates of the probability of insured event occurring, to a certain extent, possessing the property of universality, regardless of the indicators used and methodology of their calculation. The experience of applying the mechanism of this type of insurance services on the materials of the East Kazakhstan region has been studied.

The materials are related to the research of issues of public support for the development of small forms of business (SFB) in Kazakhstan. The most important link in agro-industrial complex is agriculture, which provides the country with food products and industry with raw materials. The article examines the domestic and international experience of public support of commodity producers, which makes it possible to draw a conclusion about the need to improve government regulation measures, taking into account regional characteristics, and implementation of State and sectoral programs. The authors note that the availability of budget funds has a significant impact on the effective activity of small businesses. The analysis showed the limited possibilities of attracting loans and other financial sources by small businesses. The solution to these problems should be carried out on the basis of the purchase of a guaranteed volume of manufactured products, provision of loans at the expense of budgetary allocations, concessional lending and taxation, subsidies. The necessary measures of government assistance for the development of the industry as a whole have been determined, in particular, animal husbandry, intensive gardening, and sugar beet processing. Based on the results of the developments, it was concluded that with financial and property support of agricultural producers, including small categories of agribusiness, the tasks set for agricultural sector - increase in market share of domestic products, decrease in import dependence will be implemented. Small farms play an important role in the production of agricultural products, food supply, social stability in the countryside.

An efficient market economy presupposes functioning of highly developed infrastructure for agricultural production. One of the negative factors restraining the modernization of agricultural sector of Kazakhstan, its material and technical base and the development of rural areas is the regression of production mechanism. The formation of competitive model of interconnected structures serving agriculture contributes to the creation of integration ties and improvement of State regulation, the expansion of domestic production and the increase in the competitiveness of the products of this industry. The article shows the problems of structural imbalances in the provision of enterprises with all types of material and technical resources of agro-industrial complex, lag in the level of the internal infrastructure of agricultural enterprises and agro-industrial complex as a whole, which leads to the ineffective use of elements of production potential and is an obstacle to the introduction of modern equipment and technologies, as well as new forms of organization of production. The agricultural sector as raw material support for light industry is a key one in the country's economy. As modern experience of industry associations of developed countries shows, functioning of production services market is viewed as trend based on the principles and characteristics of the development of various industries. The authors present an improved Kazakhstani model for the development of agricultural production infrastructure, taking into account the best world practice of consistency in planning and evaluating results, the complexity of measures, individual approach, guarantees of fulfillment of obligations.

Recommendations for solving the problems of sustainable development of milk and dairy products market in the region are based on the study of its current state and promising directions. The dynamics of production of milk and its processing products, export and import, livestock and productivity of cows is analyzed. The contribution of various categories of farms to the receipt of raw milk has been studied, while the lag in milk yield in farms and households from agricultural enterprises has been revealed. The analysis of expenses in agricultural enterprises is presented, as well as the structure of material costs. The main problems of effective development of the industry of dairy cattle breeding include tendency to reduce the area under fodder crops; a weak feed base and increase in feed prices, which leads to the increase in the cost of milk; reduction in the number of dairy cows; small commodity farms, that is, the concentration of main volumes of milk production in households where the introduction of intensive innovative technologies is difficult; seasonality of the process; non-observance of veterinary and sanitary standards. The regional features of location of dairy processing enterprises have been investigated, confirming the close relationship between the development of the dairy industry and the raw material base. Those of them have been identified, which account for the largest share in production of the range of dairy products. The organizational structure of the milk processing enterprise "Gormolzavod" LLP was studied, the calculation of butter was made using its own raw materials. The competitive advantages of the processing enterprises of the region are revealed.

As a result of the study of the state and problems in the dairy industry of the East Kazakhstan region - the leading region for production of dairy products in the country, development of dairy cattle breeding in the Republic of Kazakhstan and East Kazakhstan region from 2010-2019 was analyzed, using indicators of gross milk yield, average annual cow population, milk yield per cow, structure of milk production in the region by categories of farms. The dynamics of production of dairy products in the region is considered based on the analysis of the volumes of milk production and main types of dairy products; assessment of the level of the average annual production capacity of enterprises, population's demand for dairy products and its actual consumption is presented. Along with this, the main problems of the development of dairy industry in the region are identified: low level of utilization of production capacities, shortage and low quality of used raw materials that do not meet the requirements of sanitary standards, an outdated material and technical base, and ways of solving them are proposed. The formation of specialized dairy farms of large and medium size, the development of agricultural cooperation will contribute to the provision of raw materials for dairy factories in the region. State support and stimulation of the activities of these forms of management will increase production of raw materials for the dairy industry in the region, improve its quality, as a result of compliance with sanitary and hygienic requirements, carrying out veterinary and breeding work at the required level, as well as integrated approach to ensuring employment of rural population and food security of the country.

To identify problems in land management and find ways to solve them, the modern structure of organization of rational land use is considered. The analysis of the digitalization of economy in advanced foreign countries is carried out. It has been determined that in order to implement effective land policy, it is necessary to use modern geoinformation technologies, in particular, introduction of digitalization in the field of land relations regulation. It was revealed that in recent years digital technologies have been actively used in agriculture of the republic on the basis of space monitoring, which makes it possible to determine the areas of agricultural crops, species yield, and weediness of fields. The efficiency of land management based on the creation of information system - a unified state cadastre of real estate for the implementation of the State program "Digital Kazakhstan" is shown. In matters of improving land use, it foresees the creation and implementation of a State cadastre of real estate and national spatial data infrastructure. Currently, a pilot project is being carried out to combine two information systems in order to obtain a unified information system for the real estate cadastre. It was concluded that provision of all types of services in accordance with land legislation must be converted into a digital format, thanks to which the public can get free access to information, the necessary services at a distance (without the obligatory attendance at public service centers), as well as in operational mode of obtaining them. For the efficient and rational use of land and work with real estate, a new structure should be created - the Real Estate Management Agency.

The authors of the article consider the institutional framework for regulating the use of rangelands in rural areas for the effective maintenance of livestock on household farms. On the basis of a detailed analysis, the issues of pastures allocated for livestock grazing to personal subsidiary farms have been identified. An assessment of the pasture lands of rural settlements and standards of the maximum permissible load of grazing of agricultural animals on the area of pasture turnover for the natural-agricultural zones of the republic and types of livestock are presented. The regions with a shortage of pasture lands and high concentration of the rural population, located in the foothill-desert-steppe, foothill-desert and mountain zones, incompliance of livestock kept in households and the level of pasture provision are identified. Areas with a low load of livestock on pasture land are identified. In the desert and semi-desert zones, there is an insufficient number of livestock for effective near-village pasture rotation. The ratio of the standards of need and provision in pasture fodder in different natural and agricultural zones by species composition of livestock is shown. The degree of use of pasture lands in various forms of economy of the republic is indicated, pastures assigned to peasant (private) farms are used with full load. Non-state agricultural enterprises within the boundaries of land use have a reserve potential of unused pastures with an area of 10.4 mln ha. A formula for determining the productivity and capacity of pasture lands for organizing cattle grazing is presented. Recommendations and schemes of pasture rotation are presented to preserve the productivity of natural forage lands of near-aul territories of zonal types of pastures, to radically improve the natural-economic zoning of Kazakhstan.

The purpose of the study is to determine the possibilities of using mechanisms for supporting agribusiness in foreign countries and to develop recommendations for their adaptation in domestic agriculture. The current socio-demographic situation in rural areas of Germany, Kazakhstan and other states, measures of public support are considered. In the EU and Germany, agricultural policy is aimed at intensive development of the industry: increasing the level of innovation in agricultural sector and food industry; maintaining high standards of environmental and animal protection; introduction of advanced scientific developments in the branches of agro-industrial production; supporting the activities of research institutes; increasing contribution to diversifying rural economic development. It was revealed that the aggregated budget of funding sources allows you to control its implementation at all levels from planning to final use. Public administration guarantees a stable income to farmers; an appropriate standard of living comparable to the wealth of other social groups in society; the prospects for the professional activity of entrepreneurs in the countryside; conditions and directions of training of agricultural personnel. Modern challenges, among which the aging of the population employed in agriculture in Europe and Germany, is currently the most important problem, therefore, starting in 2015, a new financial instrument to help young farmers under 40 was included into the main program of assistance to the EU agricultural sector. Analysis of employment indicators in rural areas of Kazakhstan and the experience of public support in Germany made it possible to formulate measures to support agricultural producers, which will change the approach to agricultural labor, its prestige.

The materials of the study consider the importance of using electronic platforms (e- platforms) by farmers of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the essence of this process. The main goal of the State program "Digital Kazakhstan" is to improve the quality of life of the country's population, within the framework of which digital technologies are aimed at increasing production volumes and profitability of peasant (private) farms. More than ten thousand rural entrepreneurs answered the questionnaires in electronic format, which made it possible to assess the level of application of communication technologies in agricultural production of the republic. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the use of Fisher's oneway analysis of variance and Leavin's statistics to determine the difference in the degree of use of digitalization for the agricultural sector development. Differences and similarities in the use of software systems in order to obtain information for optimal farm management, depending on the age categories of farmers, are revealed. 64 variables of the collected data with the subsequent generalization of empirical results served as the basis for the analysis of variance of the use of electronic platforms by agricultural producers. It is concluded that the latest information technologies in agriculture will reduce risks, eliminate the human factor, reduce costs and increase crop yields. Digital schematics will become an integral part of crop planning, digital crop simulation, and animal feed calculation.

Grain farming is a historically basic and strategic sector of the agricultural sector of the economy of Kazakhstan - the main producer of food products and the main source of livelihood of the population, on the dynamic sustainable development of which the food security of the country depends. The article analyzes grain sub-complex of Kazakhstan, investigates the problems of production and consumption of grain products as a backbone segment of the agro-industrial complex and the basis for solving food problem. The dynamics of the gross harvest of wheat in the country as a whole is analyzed, including in Akmola region - the leader in the ranking of grain yields. The tendencies of changes in the volumes of commercial grain production in the region are revealed. Method of comparative assessment of the main economic indicators of grain industry before and after the introduction of innovative technologies is proposed, recommendations on the expediency of their implementation are given. Summarizing the above, we can come to the following conclusion: the innovative development of grain industry can be the most effective in systemic complex of directions, priorities and tasks. The innovation process in the country's grain production has a number of positive aspects: carrying out work on reproduction of soil fertility, preventing their degradation; the use of various cultivation techniques, incl. energy and resource saving technologies for production, storage and processing of grain; elaboration and development of State innovation policy at the level of the entire AIC and grain cluster.

The article is devoted to the development of innovative processes in the livestock industry of meat sector. The main forms and methods of classification of innovations are studied. The features of innovative activity of enterprises of agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan are analyzed. Indicators of innovative activity of agricultural entities of the republic in comparison with European countries are presented. The author pays main attention to the formation and development of innovative processes at enterprises for production of meat and products of its processing, which is of considerable interest, since innovative activity in this industry has its own specific features. In agricultural sector, economic and financial state of production directly depends on introduction of innovations, the use of modern innovative technologies that save resources, increase the profitability and efficiency of production system. The assessment of potential resources for the development of beef cattle breeding has been carried out, the tendencies of the growth of livestock, meat production, its import and export in recent years have been studied. The main problems of animal husbandry industry, in particular raising of beef cattle, are highlighted, conclusions about the possibility of increasing the potential of meat products are drawn. On the basis of performed analysis of the level of innovation activity, the identified problems in agricultural production, recommendations were developed for the future development of innovations in the country's beef cattle breeding, since in the new economic conditions, an important role is played by innovative developments and their application in this industry.

As the purpose of the study, the author reveals the problems of improving the quality accounting of agricultural land. The article examines the state of farmland, problems of land management, in particular in the field of agriculture. The omissions in the land legislation in relation to the classification of agricultural lands and their characteristics are revealed. The advantages of space monitoring of land areas are shown. The lack of economic criteria leads to ineffective planning, and in the future - irrational use of land areas. It has been determined that agricultural land that has been withdrawn from circulation is not effective in market economy, therefore, measures are required to involve them in circulation. The dependence of most industries on land quality determines the importance of choosing a methodology for assessing the quality of land. For the effective use of farmland, conscientious agricultural producers should be encouraged, which, in turn, will contribute to the increase in arable land, hayfields, pastures, and perennial plantings. The methods of correlating agricultural land to a specific type of agricultural land in foreign countries are generalized and examples of their improvement are given taking into account regional characteristics. Recommendations on improving the quality accounting of agricultural land using the example of GIS technologies were developed.
