The purpose-on the basis of the analysis of the current state and location of enterprises in the dairy industry of the republic and Almaty region, in particular, to identify the main factors that hinder its development, to develop recommendations for solving the existing problems.

Methods - monographic, computational-constructive, analytical, economic-statistical, logical generalization.

Results - research confirms the underdevelopment of the infrastructure for effective promotion of dairy products from producer to consumer along the production-processing-sale technological chain, especially primary milk processing; often there is a discrepancy between the required proportions between the existing production capacities of milk processing enterprises and the level of development of their raw material zones. Based on production potential of each district of a specific region and calculation of the population's demand for dairy products, a forecast for creation of agricultural cooperatives (APC) of dairy direction for purification of milk from mechanical impurities, cooling, storage and transportation in the context of districtsis presented. It is necessary to create 77 APC for the period 2021-2022, incl. 64 cooperatives for primary milk processing.

Conclusions - it is recommended to merge small farms into agricultural cooperatives. The economic efficiency of organizing a cooperative milk collection point at the district level has been justified. Based on the study of the existing schemes for location of milk processing enterprises, proposals have been developed for the localization of new cooperative milk collection points in the territorial units of the region. Dairy industry enterprises need investments to renew their fixed assets. The authors note that the possibilities and advantages of cooperative principles and the potential reserve of agricultural cooperation are not yet fully realized.

The aim is to study the problems of ensuring food security of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the conditions of the Eurasian Economic Union.

Methods - monographic, economic-statistical, abstract-logical.

Results - it is shown that each of the EAEU member States has identified priority areas and mechanisms for sustainable development. The main economic indicators of agroindustrial complex, indicating a significant increase in the volume of agricultural production in comparison with the previous time periodare considered. The level of per capita consumption of basic food products of the Union member States has been justified, which characterizes the economic and physical availability of food and confirms a favorable situation in this area. The regions producing the largest volumes of food products in monetary terms have been identified; sectors that provide more than half of all production in the countryare identified. Despite the positive trends, problems that have a significant impact on the growth of production potential of Kazakhstanare identified. An insufficient level of consumption of certain types of products in the republic is noted.

Conclusions - in order to ensure the collective food security of the EAEU member States, measures aimed to develop cooperation and integration in the AIC, to create a favorable environment for increasing the competitiveness of the industry, marketing of agricultural products and foodhave been proposed. In agricultural policy, it is important to take into account the main risks and threats to sustainable economic development: exceeding the threshold value of imports; price imbalances in goods market; shortage of qualified personnel; underdevelopment of the system of monitoring and forecasting indicators of agri-food market.

The relevance of the topic of the article - the issues of innovative development of agroindustrial complex of Kazakhstan, which provides large-scale production, require detailed study.

The goal - is to consider the positive aspects of the best practices of foreign countries regarding this problem and develop practical recommendations.

Methods - generalization, quantitative and qualitative analysis, abstract logical. Results - in order to apply high technologies in agricultural sector, economically developed countries use subsidy systems, price support (USA), government assistance in obtaining income per hectare and payments for livestock (EU countries), income support through payments (Canada) and concessional lending (Brazil). In addition to financial assistance, agricultural producers in the USA, Canada and other countries are provided with information, legal, innovation, marketing, insurance and other types of support.

Conclusions - innovative processes, expansion of the competitive environment in the AIC presuppose the effective use of scientific and technical potential, integration of science, education and production, technological modernization of the economy based on progressive methods. Innovation is reflected in the implementation of the strategic objectives of ensuring food security and effective regulation of the domestic food market in order to stimulate labor productivity in agriculture, increase export potential of agricultural sector. It is necessary to combine innovative activity in domestic agro-industrial production with international practice, which will increase production capacity of agrarian sector of the republic. The development trends of the world market convincingly show that there can be no other way in Kazakhstan than the formation of a new type of economy, widespread innovation.

The goal-is to focus on the importance of developing a "green" economy for the agroindustrial complex, modern approaches to its impact on economic stability in Kazakhstan and improving the environment.

Methods - comparative analysis, assessment and synthesis, systematic approach.

Results - the problems and prospects of environmental safety in the republic, the advantages of a resource-saving model of sustainable growth, a program for the development of a "green" economy in the countryare shown. A significant degree of lagging in the use of innovative technologies for an early transition to eco-innovation has been revealed. The measures necessary for their inclusion in the national environmental policy as a key factor are proposed. The relevance of the study is determined by the positive impact of organic agriculture on improving the level and quality of life of rural residents. It is noted that in recent years, the annual production of environmentally friendly products has increased by an average of 20-30%. Ecosystems consider animals, feed and fertilizers as a single target system. The Republic of Kazakhstan has large areas of natural pastures for raising livestock and obtaining high-quality livestock products. The practical results of the expediency of large-scale application of the principles of biodiversity conservation and alternative energy sources to increase the efficiency of agro-industrial production, completeness of meeting the needs of the population of remote regions for high-quality food products, and improving the environment are generalized.

Conclusions - at present, indicators of environmental sustainability all over the world are decreasing. For maintaining sustainable natural potential and biological resourcesit is needed to use targeted strategy and investment decisions at all levels, from local to global, and effective- innovative financing mechanisms are required to stimulate the required scale of investment.

Purpose - the authors consider the relevant aspects of the current state, the prospects for the development of agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan and economy as a whole, as well as the world experience of transport and logistics systems. The high relevance of solving problems aimed at expanding the scale of transport logistics, which determined the importance of choosing this research topic.

Methods - economic assessment on the basis of which, the basic principles and measures for the implementation of the State program "Digital Kazakhstan" are presented; the feasibility and significance of the project for the functioning of transport enterprisesis shown; analytical – in monitoring the current situation in transport industry; a systematic approach that allows to identify the effectiveness of management processes when using innovative mechanisms that contribute to the growth of the competitiveness of domestic agro-industrial production.

The authors state that the trend towards digitalization of transport and logistics services sets new standards for all market participants. The main directions of traffic management are summarized, and the integrated digital platform is characterized by a high degree of transparency and traceability of the food supply chain.

Conclusions - the assessment of the effectiveness of the functioning of transport and logistics systems based on the widespread use of digital information and communication technologies for planning, monitoring and control of all procedures delivery of goods from manufacturers to end consumers is done. Improving logistics functions in agricultural sector is a key catalyst for the growth of the logistics sector in most countries.

The goal- at present there is no clear concept for the long-term development of infrastructure of agro-industrial complex in the republic, and the degree of support for agricultural sector is inferior to the level of advanced countries, which may lead to a restriction of the population's access to quality food.

Methods - abstract-logical, monographic, sociological survey, economic-statistical, analytical.

Results - the best world practice of rural entrepreneurship was reviewed. The experience of farmers of the Russian Federation, economically developed countries of the EU, Eastern Europe, advanced Asian States, including Japan and South Korea, is presented. It is indicated that the main condition for preservation and multiplication of the achievements of the AIC of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the socio-economic growth of rural settlements. The authors focus on the issue of ensuring food security - one of the main tasks of the economy of each country, the key areas of implementation of which are public support for agricultural sector, improving the quality of life of rural residents. The activity of agricultural producersis analyzed, problems of development of agribusiness in these countries and Kazakhstan are reflected, recommendations for their solution are presented.

Conclusions - the following basic factors contributing to the formation and expansion of entrepreneurship in agro-industrial production are highlighted: improvement of the regulatory and investment base; business management, which implies transformation of the structure and advanced training of specialists of enterprises of agro-industrial complex, as well as the heads of peasant (private) farms. Access to markets is a serious problem for small and medium-sized enterprises in agricultural sector, which has a significant impact on the sphere of agricultural production and processing of agricultural products. The research results can be used in the development of measures to support SMEs in agricultural sector at the regional level.

The purpose of the article -is to develop entrepreneurial activity in agricultural sector and to consider the institutional factors which are influencing on it.

Methods - comparative analysis in assessing the indicators of entrepreneurial activity; analytical, on the basis of which the features of entrepreneurship in the field of agriculture are revealed; abstract-logical - to identify problems affecting the improvement of the competence of representatives of agribusiness. The author uses a resource point of view and focuses on the analysis of resources and opportunities of small and medium-sized businesses in agro-industrial production.

Results - the study was conducted using the national reports of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) for Kazakhstan and reflects the study of entrepreneurial skills of farmers and their entrepreneurial orientation. It is indicated that entrepreneurs, due to their mobility and flexibility, are quickly and in a timely manner rebuilding in market conditions, and contribute to the stability of the regional economy.

Conclusions - the degree of development of small and medium-sized forms of management affects the saturation of market with goods, the growth of competition, employment, social development of the village. The main hypothesis is aimed at expanding entrepreneurship in agro-industrial complex, the necessary public support, organization of logistics centers, training of specialists for agricultural sector and creation of infrastructure in rural areas. The growth of entrepreneurial initiative is closely related to the potential for agricultural products to enter the external market. It is necessary to create clusters of processing enterprises, which will give a great impetus to increase entrepreneurial activity in the republic.

Despite the significant need to streamline and improve the efficiency of systemic project management, its basic concepts and methods remain little known in many sectors of economy, especially in agricultural sector of the republic.

The goal-is to study the possibilities for the development of project management in the field of the agro-industrial complex.

Methods – observation and collection of facts, comparative analysis to assess the rate of development of agriculture in Kazakhstan, logical, as well as analogies.

Results - the advantages of technology of the project approach are determined and the possibility of its use in the field of agricultural production is being considered. The assessment of the rates of development of the AIC of the republic is presented. The authors state that high qualifications, special knowledge and skills are required from the manager and project participants. The reasons for the low level of efficiency of some design solutions are explained by imperfect management activities. In the context of increased competition in product markets, increased requirements of buyers for the quality of products and services, changes in organizational structure of enterprises in agricultural sector, the role of risk management and contracts increases significantly. It shows the importance of applying modern project management methods in information systems when developing programs for personnel development.

Conclusions - the elements of project management contribute to achieving the goals of increasing production efficiency and reducing risks in agro-industrial complex, i.e. the opportunity not only to use the available internal resources of agricultural enterprise, to increase its profitability, but also to actively attract additional investments. The authors note that the most important condition for successful planning in agribusiness is a quick payback of the project, which can happen if several rules are observed: increase in the volume of production; reduction of material and labor costs per unit of the product received. There is a need for effective government support for agricultural projects, as well as formation of project thinking among the heads of enterprises and training of relevant personnel.

Purpose - some aspects of financial stability of agro-industrial enterprise when making managerial decisionsis considered. It is proposed to present this information in two directions, such as a comprehensive economic analysis and unformalized assessment.

Methods - a systematic approach, statistical and economic, abstract-logical, economic and mathematical modeling.

Results - a generalized scheme of the logical connection between final indicators of a detailed comprehensive study was compiled. Indicators of the state of financial resources, in which the organizational structure, freely maneuvering with money, ensuring an uninterrupted process of production and sale of products, services on test questions is recommended to be ranked in a certain order according to the proportion of positive answers received. The main stages of rating of financial strategy of an enterprise are summarized, taking into account its industry characteristics and agricultural sector as a whole. Potential risks in agricultural activities and their consequences have been identified.

Conclusions - the most significant signs of the financial stability of an enterprise have been identified: its ability to counteract the negative impact of external and internal factors on financial and economic processes of functioning; stability, that is, the ability to maintain the continuity of production, sales and financing; solvency and investment potential. The actual task of enterprise finance management is a strategic approach to maintaining financial balance. The authors pay attention to such issues as identifying the effectiveness of financial management. Irrational management of an enterprise can lead to a shortage of financial resources, excessive financial stability - to increased costs.

The goal is to show the importance of innovative technologies used in breeding, keeping and feeding pigs, helping to reduce the negative impact on the environment and ensuring high quality pig products. The methodological basis of the research includes the following methods - structural and functional analysis, economic and mathematical modeling, statistical.

Results – the problems of development of pig breeding in the republic were revealed. The relationship between animal feeding rations and the quality of products of pig-breeding subcomplex has been determined. The authors state that one of the factors of low productivity of pigs is their unbalanced feeding. Such quantitative and qualitative indicators as presence of protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals characterize the usefulness of compound feed and their optimum for each sex and age group of animals. The article presents the results of studying the efficiency of production, preparation and distribution of feed for various types of feeding (per 100 kg gain). It is indicated that the problem of the use of dry or liquid (wet) type of feeding remains a problem, which for a number of years has been the subject of research by leading scientific centers of pig breeding in many countries of the world. It is indicated that the choice of a certain type of feeding is influenced by the direction of the pig-breeding farm, available feed base, sources of concentrated feed, conditions and possibilities of their storage. The sizes of feeders and feeding area for various production groups of pigs are given; the technical characteristics of the installation for the preparation and distribution of mushy feeds are given.

Conclusions - an effective measure aimed at reducing production cost is the system of automatic feeding of animals, which ensures accurate and continuous accounting of feed. Digitalization of the domestic agro-industrial complex, including pig-breeding industry, will contribute to ensuring the country's food security, as well as entering the international food market.

The goal-is to analyze the state of development of poultry farming in Kazakhstan, identify the range of main problems and propose mechanisms for their solution.

Methods - economic and mathematical modeling, economic and statistical, dialectical. Results - the advantages of turkey meat production over other types of poultry industry were revealed. The indicators of the poultry sector, as well as the production of feed in the leading regions of the republic in dynamics from 2019 to 2021 are given. An important advantage in obtaining turkey meat is a large meat yield from one carcass compared to other poultry, this indicates a high economic efficiency. The authors note that in the poultry subcomplex, meat direction has an advantage over the egg one, since poultry meat can be sold from all its varieties. The necessity of rational use of the fodder base in the production of turkey meat has been determined. Methods of using feed, namely wet, dry and combined processing, are considered, their structure is shown. So, for example, mixes are subjected to wet processing, that is, ground cereals, grains, concentrated supplements with protein content by adding water, whey, milk, juicy feed, broth and vitamins. Dry feed consists of complete feed in granules or ground form, enriched with essential minerals and vitamins. It has been determined that the use of innovative technologies for obtaining turkey meat, such as a floor system of growing and heating of a gas type, can reduce heating tariffs compared to a conventional system, reduce energy costs by more than 20%.

Conclusions. Development of the poultry sector is socially beneficial and the most promising direction in ensuring food security of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Recommendations have been developed for improving the feed base, reimbursing part (30%) of financial costs associated with purchase of machinery and special equipment, the construction of modular production structures for meat and egg farms, preferential subsidies for investment activities of poultry enterprises, as well as the formation of stabilization funds for feed grain.

The aim -is to study the current state of the development of livestock production in the Urdzhar region of the East Kazakhstan region, to identify the reasons that restrain the increase in the potential of meat and dairy industry.

Methods - monographic, analysis and synthesis, statistical and economic, computational and constructive, balance.

Results - the results of the activity of livestock production sector for 2016-2020 were analyzed; the dynamics of such indicators as the amount of livestock products; the population number of livestock and poultry, their productivity; structure of production by category of agri businesses, as well as their share and personal subsidiary plots in the total volume of agricultural products and the population number of livestock are presented. The paper presents the potential for growth in the output of livestock subcomplex, provision of its own resources, a steady growth in agricultural production, a leading position in milk production in the region, the creation of modernized dairy farms, organization of purchasing milk from the population and selling own dairy products to other areas of the region. On the basis of the study, the main problems in the development of animal husbandry in the region were identified, including small-scale commodity; concentration of most of the livestock products received in the household sector of the population, an insignificant share of breeding animals, a low level of livestock productivity, technical and technological equipment of the machine and tractor facilities and operating processing enterprises; lack of a developed infrastructure for the procurement and processing of leather and fur raw materials. The authors note that despite the sufficient supply of raw materials and the availability of infrastructure, the network of processing facilities (meat, milk) is poorly developed, there is a shortage of collateral, and there are no typical cattle burial grounds.

Conclusions - it is necessary to master innovative technologies for production of low-cost, ecological, competitive products of the industry, which will reduce the negative impact on the environment, material costs, and effectively use land and water resources. Proposals on theoretical and practical results have been developed.

The agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan has the objectives on increasing the volume of production of competitive, export-oriented agricultural products and increasing labor productivity by 2.5 times by 2022. Thus, the country's agricultural policy is aimed at ensuring food security.

The goal -is to analyze the current state of providing the population of the republic with food at the expense of own production and to identify further ways of its development.

Methods – comparative analysis, statistical and economical for market research; systematic approach.

Results - The Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 9, 2016, No.503, approved scientifically grounded physiological norms of food consumption. In connection with the pandemic, the State has set the priority anti-crisis tasks to achieve the stability of the socio-economic development of Kazakhstan, including regulation of prices for agricultural products. The conducted comparative analysis showed that the population in the country is mainly provided with domestic food products within the established standards, with the exception of poultry meat, cheese, cottage cheese, fruits, berries, vegetables, sugar and fish. The undertaken measures show that in the near future they will allow increasing the scale of production of these food products, which is quite justified. It has been determined that the republic has potential opportunities, in particular, natural and labor resources for import substitution.

Conclusions - meeting the needs of the republic's residents for all types of their own products requires deep research. State regulation of agricultural market is aimed at improving the living standards of the population in the regions by creating favorable conditions for the development of crop production, animal husbandry, food industry, social infrastructure, and technical equipment.

Purpose - the article is devoted to identifying the needs of the economy of Kazakhstan in infrastructure facilities for storing agricultural products and the prospects for its further development.

Methods - statistical, factorial and k-mean cluster analysis.

Results - the influence of an efficiently functioning network of storage facilities for agricultural products on the stability of providing the population with food, reducing the volatility of prices and supplies in the off-season is justified. The authors revealed that modern premises for warehousing and preserving the quality of agricultural products in foreign countries combine the functions of storage and marketing by creating logistics wholesale distribution centers (WDC), which allow the use of modern information technologies and computer systems aimed to form consumer applications for formulating commodity groups and delivery of the required product volumes to the consumer with minimal costs. Based on the analysis of indicators of harvesting and use of the main types of agricultural products in the republic (stocks at the beginning of the year, gross harvest, imports, industrial use and domestic consumption, losses, exports, personal consumption by the population, reserves at the end of the year, availability of storage facilities, shortage), the need in the storage infrastructure has been determined. The clustering of warehouse buildings was carried out according to the main features: the volume of one-time preservation, level of losses, availability of climatic warehouses and transport mechanism, on the basis of which five clusters have been identified.

Conclusions - cluster analysis of storages showed their uneven and irrigation distribution across the regions of the country. It is necessary to modernize and build new such facilities of various capacities on the basis of the WDC - large hubs concentrated in various regions of Kazakhstan, depending on their needs.

The goal is to assess the current state of the market for grain and its processed products, to determine the features of its functioning and prospects for further development.

Methods - economic, statistical and analytical, which made it possible to identify main trends taking place in grain products subcomplex of the country, draw up a balance of resources, as well as the use of grain and grain products.

Results - in the process of studying this problem, it was indicated that as a result of reduction in the own products volume, the resource part of the balance of grain and its use for the analyzed period decreased. It was determined that grain market in Kazakhstan is exportoriented. The analysis indicates a high level of self-sufficiency in grain crops and products of their processing in the republic. It has been determined that grain industry fully meets the needs of the domestic market, thereby contributing to the increase in the level of food security of the country. The negative tendency of reducing production volume and export of flour has been clarified. The presence and relevant use of grain processing facilities are analyzed. The authors note a significant excess of the potential possible processing volume over the actual indicators. Information on the export of flour in the context of exporting countries is presented. The assessment of the export potential of grain market has been carried out. The emphasis is made on the fact that Kazakhstan has a significant reserve of grain and flour exports.

Conclusions - measures of State regulation of problems in logistics system, transportation of raw materials and flour, as well as directions of effective support for the development of milling industry, market infrastructure are proposed, including based on the principles of public-private partnership.

The aim is to analyze the state and development prospects of the regional agri-food market.

Methods - economic and statistical, systematic approach, comparative analysis.

Results - consumption expenditures of the population of the region and their structure, situation on livestock market are determined. A distinctive feature of livestock farms is their diversified nature. It was revealed that tendencies of food market functioning are influenced by the remoteness of rural areas from the places of sale of raw materials and agricultural products, agricultural machinery; underdevelopment of production and social infrastructure. The emphasis is made on the fact that in order to increase the volume of food and saturate regional market with food products, it is necessary to improve management of production and sale of food products. It is shown that one of the components of regional policy should be the development of a model of marketing management in food market, which defines it as a system of economic ties between subjects regarding the distribution of resources and meeting the needs of the region's population in food products. The further development of trade in food products in the context of growth in effective demand of the population, trends in the world economy and strengthening of the position of foreign trade due to cross-border cooperation has been justified. It is noted that there is a potential for growth in added value based on positive changes in production structure.

Conclusions - the local role of the consumer market for products of the processing industry is determined by the nature of economic relations in the region, and its further development is possible only by optimizing the use of resources, increasing the information security of agricultural producers and applying marketing methods in management process.

The aim is to consider the current problems of ensuring food security, including the selfsufficiency of the region with food products with the effective functioning of the regional food market on the example of the Aktobe region.

Methods - statistical and economic, comparative analysis, monographic, computational-constructive, abstract-logical.

Results - the factors influencing on the formation of the level of food supply in the region and allowing the most reliable display of the structure of the diet of food products of the main population groups are systematized. The parameters that can be used to reflect the effectiveness of the action of specific types of food markets (meat, milk, bread, sugar, etc.) and effectiveness of government programs are highlighted. The features of the agro-industrial complex of the Aktobe region and the issues of ensuring its food security are determined. The effectiveness of agricultural policy measures to solve the problem of economic security of the region by regulating prices on market of consumer products has been proved. The results of the study of the main indicators characterizing the degree of socio-economic development of the region are presented. The analysis of the rate of expansion of food products market is presented.

Conclusions - the authors focus on the need to develop measures aimed at achieving an optimal level of food self-sufficiency in the region, taking into account the factors that determine the development of food market and the food industry. The influence of digital and the latest communication technologies on increasing the information security of the subjects of the food market is justified, taking into account the level of consumer prices and effective demand of the population. Practical recommendations to improve food security and develop food market in the Aktobe region have been developed.

The study was carried out within the framework of targeted funding of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Development of the concept and mechanisms of balanced territorial development of the economy and society of Kazakhstan."

Methods - abstract-logical, monographic, graphical, comparative and cluster analysis.

Results - in order to compare the living standards of rural areas of the country's regions, grouping of regions was carried out with justification of such indicators as growth rate of the number of rural residents; the share of the employed and self-employed in the total rural population; villagers' income; proportion of residents whose material well-being is below the subsistence level; share of expenses for food products and paid services. The results of the conducted cluster analysis are presented and groups of regions with similar living conditions, social security and characteristic problems are identified, which makes it possible to determine the main directions of regional policy for improving living standards in the countryside for each of them.

Conclusions - the authors have developed recommendations for the implementation of measures aimed at increasing the level of livelihoods in rural areas that are of interest to regional and local government agencies, labor and social protection authorities in Kazakhstan, preparation of policy documents to improve the socioeconomic situation of rural residents.

А

The aim is to show the main directions of strategic reforms that contribute to improving the well-being of the rural population, modernizing public administration and balanced territorial development.

Methods - economic and statistical, assessment, comparative analysis.

Results - it was revealed that despite the respondents' satisfaction with the quality of life in the countryside, the existing problems in rural areas are associated with insufficient use of production and intellectual potential, competitive advantages of the agricultural sector of the republic. The article discusses the need to improve the methods of State regulation and self-government based on the involvement of rural residents in these processes. This will make it possible to form a national model of positive socio-economic dynamics, taking into account historical experience, traditions and foreign practice. In the context of this, the arguments for increasing the responsibility of the institution of State self-government in making decisions on the effective development of the territory seem relevant. The authors note the need for the participation of the rural population in formation of the budget, lobbying for social and other projects which are necessary for specific administrative-territorial units. The necessity of active use of digital technologies in business and social movement in the conditions of quarantine and postcovid regimes has been justified.

Conclusions - improving the efficiency of self-government bodies is a complex, complex task that requires the concentration of efforts of many structures. It is necessary to introduce digital technologies to create infrastructure in rural areas in order to ensure social security and improve quality of life of the population.

The goal -is to explore ways of using Earth remote sensing data for efficient land use.

Methods - detailed information on current location of certain types of agricultural crops in the study areas has been summarized, which opens up opportunities for the effective use of cultivated areas. It was revealed that the basis of the principle of the method under consideration is the relationship between the state and structure of vegetation types with its reflective ability. It has been determined that information on the spectral reflective property of the vegetation cover in the future can help replace more laborious methods of laboratory analysis. For classification of farmland, satellite images of medium spatial resolution with a combination of channels in natural colors were selected.

Results - a method for identifying agricultural plants by classification according to the maximum likelihood algorithm was considered. The commonly used complexes of geoinformation software products with modules for special image processing allow displaying indicators in the form of raster images. It is shown that the use of Earth remote sensing data is the most relevant solution in the field of crop recognition and makes it possible to simplify the implementation of such types of work as the analysis of the intensity of land use, the assessment of the degree of pollution with weeds and determination of crop productivity.

Conclusions - the research results given in the article indicate that timely information on the current location of certain types of agricultural crops in the studied territories significantly simplifies the implementation of the tasks and increases the resource potential of agricultural lands. In turn, the timing of the survey and the state of environment affect the spectral reflectivity of vegetation.

The goal is to determine the possibilities for development of transport component of the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan.

Methods - monitoring of indicators for assessing the infrastructure potential of the transport network of the agrarian sector of the republic, economic and statistical, comparative analysis, computational and constructive, allowing to assess the state and dynamics of its infrastructure.

Results - the criteria for expanding the scale of transport and logistics system of the agro-industrial complex were considered. The geographical position of the Republic of Kazakhstan allows it to become a transport hub in trade between the States of Europe and Asia, including in terms of the movement of agricultural products, while the determining factor is the development of a modern base for increasing traffic volumes. The role of this component for agroindustrial production, an important sphere of the country's economy, which occupies a special place in a single economic mechanism, significantly influencing the efficiency and competitiveness of agricultural sectors, has been determined.

Conclusions - in geographic conditions of Kazakhstan: a large territory, location in the center of Eurasia, the presence of various connections between economic regions, allowing a balanced distribution of agricultural products within the republic and exporting it, development of transport communications, namely roads and various types of structures that contribute to the effective movement of food goods. Thus, it is possible to outline a number of indicators for assessing the development potential of transport infrastructure of the AIC, among which the most important are the creation of a road network and provision of facilities necessary for the full functioning of the country's transport logistics. For this, it is advisable to increase the number of labor and material- technical resources aimed at creating economic transport entities.
