As a result of agricultural reforms carried out in Kazakhstan, the legal and organizational forms of farms have changed, and a diversified economy has been formed. The purpose of the study is to assess the state of the country's agro-industrial complex, to identify the main problems and prospects for the growth of agricultural production, to show the importance of diversification processes for the sustainable development of agricultural sector in the context of destabilization of the world economy. Methods – quantitative-qualitative and factor analysis, economic-statistical, abstract-logical conclusions. Results – the situation in AIC for 1990-2021 is analyzed in crop production and animal husbandry of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Dynamics of sown areas of main agricultural crops of enterprises, peasant (private) farms in recent years and 1990 shows that there have been changes in the structure of crops in the republic: expansion of the size of arable land for cultivation of wheat, vegetables, melons, root crops and reduction in forage grasses. A study of the livestock sector in Kazakhstan led to the conclusion that population nu mber of livestock and poultry did not reach the level of 1990. The data on redistribution of livestock by categories of farms are presented. The necessity of its increase for creation of large livestock complexes is substantiated. Conclusions – the authors note that at present, th e country's agricultural producers are facing a constant increase in costs. This leads to higher food prices. Diversification in market economy makes it possible to reduce the risks of unreasonably high costs and respond flexibly to imbalances between supp ly and demand, maintain production capacities, and ensure the growth of profits and profitability of agricultural producers. It is necessary to use i nnovative, resource-saving technologies, the integrated use of land resources, and solution of the problems of degraded pastures.

An inefficient information environment in agricultural sector causes an increase in production costs, which, in turn, reduces the level of financial affordability of food products and competitiveness of agricultural products compared to foreign counterparts. The goal is to determine the role of digitalization in functioning of AIC and realization of its potential. Methods – economic-statistical, systematic approach, comparative analysis. Results – the main trends of digital transformation in agro-industrial production are considered. The goals and objectives of the state programs "Digital Kazakhstan" and development of agro -industrial complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2017-2021 are shown. Prerequisites for the introduction of digital technologies in agriculture and their advantages are identified. An analysis of the use of information and comm unication systems in domestic enterprises is carried out. Relevant problems of modernizing agr icultural sector and factors hindering the formatio n of digital infrastructure of the industry, the i mportance of public-private partnerships in the development of projects based on digital processes are justified. Conclusions – the use of elements of digital economy by business entities contri butes to the preservation and enhancement of agribusiness, rational use of natural resources. The main directions of digitalization of AIC, focused on increasing the volume of produced and e xported products on the basis of improving the information array of data. The world experience of countries with a developed agricultural sector shows that distribution of IT platforms, using inn ovative software, contributes to the adoption of optimal decisions in the speedy overcoming of technological backwardness, reducing import dependence on a number of product positions, shortage of personnel with digital competencies, cost compensation and high profits.

The relevance of the topic is due to the need to ensure food security in Kazakhstan. The goal is to assess the dependence of the republic on food imports, as well as to justify government measures to stimulate import substitution in agricultural sector of economy: customs and tariff control, lending, direct budget support, procurement and commodity interventions, tax and price regulation. The following methods were used in the article: general logical, systematic approach, analysis of cause-and-effect relationships, comparison and grouping. Results – the authors analyzed in dynamics the growth rates of gross agricultural output and imported food products. In maintaining the population growth rate an average of 1.3% which was observed in 2016-2020, the forecast for production of basic food products by 2025 is calculated, taking into account rational consumption rates. The authors note that reduction of food import dependency at the expense of domestic products is a t ask of national importance. Conclusions – in order to achieve and maintain physical and economic availability of safe food products in volumes and assortment corr esponding to scientifically based physiological needs, it is necessary to pursue a policy of d iversification of economy, its restructuring, use preferential micro -lending. Ensuring the country's food independence can be achieved in two ways, the first is related to self -sufficiency in food, the second is to combine the use of potential of domestic food industry and import supplies. The sol ution of the problems of import substitution is possible by increasing the competitiveness of K azakhstani agricultural enterprises through the introduction of innovations and the use of r esource-saving technologies.

The investment policy of each country is aimed to increase investment in potential areas of economy. Tourism in the world market, including in agricultural sector, has become an attractive industry for investors who are planning long-term income. The goal is to analyze how effective it is to attract foreign direct investment in agro-tourism complex of Kazakhstan. To achieve this goal, methods of organizing interviews with specialists and a survey of existing representatives of tourism business were used. The results were obtained by integrating qualitative and quantitative analysis in the course of survey with targeted audience selection. Results – the positive impact of investments of foreign countries in agritourism was revealed, since developing countries are most interested and need to invest in tourism activities. The initiative is justified by the fact that targeted bank deposits have both direct and indirect impact on other market segments, creating new jobs, developing services, and improving infrastructure. Conclusions – the estimated position of entrepreneurs in rural tourism revealed the low potential of the republic for external sources of financing, since there are a number of factors that reduce investment opportunities. Taking into account the negatively affecting inhibitors, recommendations have been developed to increase investment activity based on the analysis of secondary data with the study of foreign experience and primary materials obtained during the collection of information and interviews. For comparison, the example of Uzbekistan was used, with similar economic, cultural and historical characteristics. In addition, business tourism of this destination positions the tourist product, having resources similar to those of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the world stage.

The purpose is an analytical study of the issues related to the changing of the course of agricultural policy of the European Union on the example of the Federal Republic of Germany. Methods – monographic, comparative analysis, abstract-logical. The dynamics of the structure of the EU budget for 1993-2027 is considered. Since 1993 to 2006 the share of agriculture on average accounted for about 40% of budget funds, in 2006-2020 – about 30%, and for 2021-2027 – 23.6% is provided. Results – the authors note that in the European Union there are two components of state support for agricultural sector of economy. The first one implies direct payments to commodity producers, which are provided for one hectare of agricultural land if farmers meet the relevant conditions. This also includes general market mechanisms applied to certain types of agricultural products. For example, reimbursement of export costs and storage costs. The second component is used as an additional tool for solving AIC problems. Since 1999 it includes targeted programs for financing sustainable and environmentally friendly production and development of rural areas. Conclusions – in recent years, the bulk of government subsidies (up to 70%) directed to support the income of agricultural producers accounted for direct payments. In the earlier period, the structure was radically opposite. For example, in the early 1990, market expansion measures were 91%, direct contributions were 9%, and there was no cash allocation for improving rural infrastructure. The reverse side of this process is that agro-industrial complex is largely dependent on direct payments.

The goal is to present the materials obtained during the implementation of the scientific and technical program, to carry out scientific research on the topic: “Risk-oriented organizational and economic mechanisms for ensuring safe work in the conditions of modern Kazakhstan” (IRHOR11865833-OT-21) within the framework of program-targeted financing of the developments of the Republican Research Institute for Labor Protection of the MLSPP RK. Methods – overview of legislative and regulatory regulation is presented and analysis of scientific sources is carried out on composition, classification of enterprise costs, including in agro-industrial complex, means of collective protection of workers from harmful and dangerous production factors. Results – the author notes that in the Republic of Kazakhstan these aspects are practically not regulated in the safety system at production facilities, including agricultural sector, there are only general references in the current version of the Labor Law without further detail at the level of regulatory legal acts. This fact and the lack of unified approaches allow businesses to save on purchase of expensive equipment, which leads to increase in occupational injuries. An enlarged grouping of 20 classes of collective protection equipment has been carried out. Possible alternatives to the use of analytically calculated and normative methods for justification of the necessary costs are analyzed. Methodology, including basic coefficients, penalty and bonus indices, depending on the facts of injury has been developed. Conclusions – the proposed methodological provisions, after experimental testing at agro-industrial enterprises, can be submitted for legislative approval, which will ensure the effectiveness of state control of minimum labor costs for the design, implementation, operation and maintenance of relevant means of collective protection in agriculture.

The state of agro-industrial complex largely depends on the well-thought-out agricultural policy of the state, the key element of which is price regulators. The goal is to consider the issues of improving protectionism by stabilizing the rise in prices for domestic and imported agricultural products, as well as theoretical aspects of the price rate of its producers, labeling goods aimed at complying with the law that protects consumer rights. Methods – economic-statistical, abstract-logistical, systematic approach, observation and collection of facts, determination of absolute and relative indicators. Results – the main problems of regulating pricing of agricultural products, government programs and measures taken to solve the tasks are shown. It was revealed that from December 2021 cost of food has increased significantly. The low level of deve lopment of small and medium-sized businesses in agro-industrial complex is one of the factors hindering the increase in the competitiveness of goods and the entry of domestic producers into international markets. Conclusions – the authors state that in Kazakhstan there is a significant potential for obtaining organic and environmentally friendly products that are in demand in the republic and abroad. It is necessary to move away from the raw material orientation of agricultural exports, which has reached 70%, while processing enterprises are only 40% loaded, to attract fo reign investors to agriculture. The article focuses on the need to optimize the state st rategy of agricultural protectionism. The public-private partnership must follow the set goals and consolida ted actions to ensure food security.

Issues of government support for agricultural sector, types of subsidies and procedure for their distribution are considered, as well as the role of subsidies in the development of agroindustrial complex of Kazakhstan. The goal is to develop theoretical and practical provisions for improving organizational and economic mechanism for financing agriculture in the Zhambyl region by the State. Methods – comparative, logical, statistical, analysis of structure and dyna-mics, tabular and graphical interpretation of information. Results – based on the analysis of the state of the main branches of agro-industrial complex, assessment of State assistance measures, factors hindering the growth in the volume of products produced by agricultural producers of the repu blic (concentration of production in households; unsatisfactory quality of raw materials; seasonal ity, low level of investment incentives; insufficient scientific and technical support). Conclusions – taking into account the existing problems of the small-scale nature of agro-industrial production, the need for cooperation of small forms of management is substantiated in order to bring together the efforts of all economic entities in one commodity flow, the availability of marketing agricultural products, providing consumers with quality goods, while large and small producers will have equal conditions for increasing their own, joint and State income. The article identifies such priority areas as the possibility of creating retail outlets in the markets and in trading houses for domestic food products, organization of scientific and industrial schools in order to improve the competence of individual entrepreneurs in agribusiness. The authors note that State regulation and support of agricultural economy is one of the strategic goals of the policy of effective protectionism and ensuring free competition in the agri-food market.

An important element in managing the economic results of economic entities is the search for reserves to increase labor productivity. The goal is to improve the methodology for calculating the impact of adaptive farming technologies on intensification of labor activity in grain production. Methods – statistical: data on technical solutions, machine systems, types of fertilizers, hydrothermal conditions, yields and areas of wheat crops, the number of workers employed in grain subcomplex-steppe zone of Northern Kazakhstan for 1961-2020. To assess the impact of specific components on the level of working productivity, the methods of regression and index analysis were used. The impact of production factors, including technological innovations, on the change in the criterion of beneficial effect in agricultural sector is quite accurately calculated by the proposed methods and procedures. Results – it has been determined that adaptive opportunities for obtaining agricultural products have a positive effect on increasing profitability and profi tability in agroindustrial complex. The expansion of the range of indicators and the tasks set makes it possible to make calculations with even greater reliability and accuracy. However, it should be borne in mind that the system of statistical accounting in countries with transit economies is at the stage of improvement. Conclusions – since the sixties, labor productivity in grain industry has undergone significant changes. Its growth rates differed in different time periods. Until the end of the last century, the indicator changed relatively slowly. A jump-like growth of more than two times was observed in the 2000s, due to a number of reasons, primarily the use of resource-saving mechanisms adapted to real external conditions and high-performance machines.

The line of the outstanding stallion Gazhayyp 57-06 was laid in Karatomar LLP of the North Kazakhstan region. Horses are characterized by a general harmonious build, an elongated body, a long straight muscular neck, and a dense constitution. The genetic potential for live weight of stallions reaches 600 kg, and mares – 520 kg. Their important quality is a higher live weight, correct addition and massiveness. The color of the horses is red (70%), dark red (30%). According to the results of research in 2019-2021 it was found that growing and sale of such stallions is economically feasible. The goal is to breed a stallion of a new pedigree in order to preserve the outstanding productive qualities of the proband in the descendants. Methods – factory methods of linear selection are used for the first time when laying a line in herd horse keeping. Results – it is shown that classic factory methods, with the methods modified by the authors, are applicable when providing herd conditions. The stallions obtained from breeding in the breeding farms of the North Kazakhstan and Akmola regions are highly evaluated. Their sons and grandchildren are sold in farms at a high price. Conclusions – breeding of linear horses Gazhayyp 57-06 in various regions of Kazakhstan is highly profitable, has a significant impact on the growth of horse meat production in year-round grazing conditions and has great potential for obtaining e nvironmentally friendly products. To provide the population with dietary meat, to expand the range of meat products, a significant increase in livestock is necessary.

The largest area of Kazakh agribusiness is grain subcomplex with its own commodity market, which is the basis of the domestic AIC. The goal is an economic analysis of functioning of agricultural sector of economy, identifying the causes of fluctuations in production and grain yields. In the work such scientific methods are used – logical, statistical, bibliometric, factorial. The results of the study – it is shown that the Covid pandemic, global inflation and anti-russian sanctions had a negative impact on the activities of agricultural entities; it is substantiated that the country has significant sown areas and key territorial advantages in grain production specialization, as well as flour production; grain export restrictions were identified due to the distance from sea routes; analytical review of the bibliography of foreign scientific achievements of grain economy is presented; the dynamics and problems in grain industry are considered, taking into account the decrease in the inflow of foreign capital and disruption of value added organization chains; the role of investments in agro-industrial production is determined; economic assessment of the main statistical indicators of AIC is given; the reasons that affect the level of productivity, depending on the climatic and technical conditions of large agricultural producers and small peasant (private) farms in various regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as factors affecting its decline are indicated. Conclusions – the main ways to quickly resolve the current situation from the standpoint of state measures of financial support to increase the supply of ma rketable grain in the republic are summarized. Efficient organization and development of grain products market to ensure food security is a key area of economy of Kazakhstan. Important issue is the optimization of the country's transport and logistics infrastructure network.

The goal is to investigate the state and problems in the sugar industry in Kazakhstan. Methods – analysis of industry information from publicly available open sources, scientific literature, official materials of territorial administration, the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan, industry experts and business entities. Results – the baseline is a conceptual model of a closed project for the northern and/or eastern regions of the country, which are characterized by significant acreage, cold autumn and winter periods, which contribute to a longer storage of sugar beets (with proper stacking of piles using forced ventilation systems). The necessity of a cluster approach to ensure sustainable d evelopment of sugar industry in the formation of a financial model is justified. Conclusions – the article presents material on world sugar production in 2019/2020, an overview of sugar product sub-complex in the republic, main beet-growing zones and their climatic conditions. Considering the problems of ensuring food security in Kazakhstan, it is noted that sugar market in Kazakhstan does not provide the industry and the population of the country with the necessary volumes. The proposed concept of the project for the northern and northeastern regions is visualized in the form of a block diagram. The authors note that there is experience in growing this crop in the North Kazakhstan and Pavlodar regions with more severe climatic conditions, in comparison with usual southern regions (Almaty and Zhambyl regions), which cannot be an obstacle to obtai ning products following the example of the Canadian company LanticRogers (Taber, Canada, Alberta).

Aim – the article reveals the problems of import dependence of sugar products in Kazakhstan, shows state programs for cultivation of sugar beets. Sugar factorie s are characterized by an annual decrease in the share of processing of domestic raw materials with a predominant predominance of sugar cane imported from abroad (Brazil, Cuba and Malaysia). Methods – statistical, cartographic, systemic and comparative analysis. Results – the authors note that according to official statistics, the share of sugar in domestic market is 58%, of which only 3% is locally produced. The main economic indicators of sugar beet subcomplex were determined: the level of productivity, gross harvest, production volumes of white refined sugar, production capacities of sugar industry, which have a high degree of depreciation, requiring modernization of technological equipment, which, in turn, requires large investments. The main reasons hindering the development of this industry were identified: reduction of sown areas in the southern regions of the republic, insufficient degree of use of Kazakh elite seeds and, accordingly, dependence on imported ones, high costs, low profitability at a low purchase price, problems with moisture supply, technical equipment for farmers. There is a positive experience of beet sowing in the northern r egions of the country (North Kazakhstan, Pavlodar, Akmo la regions) in order to reduce import d ependence on raw material base, which is due to the fact that natural and geographical potential of the country allows the effective development of sugar beet production in these regions. Conclusions – analyzing natural and climatic conditions, the authors state that the black soil zone in the north of Kazakhstan is favorable for cultivation of this crop, which is of particular importance during the period of acute shortage of granulated sugar and refined sugar. The de mand for it as the most important social product in the republic is increasing.

One of the strategic goals of economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the formation of export-oriented policy. The supply of agricultural raw materials and food to world markets form the basis for sustainable development of agricultural sector and allow us to assess the real possibilities of the industry. Currently, the country's rice growing is in conditions that do not ensure the growth of export potential. The mechanism of state regulation of agribusiness in the Kyzylorda region has not yet reached a level that meets modern requirements. The criterion for allocating subsidies to farms should not be the area of crops, but the yield of agricultural crops, which reflects economic interests of commodity producers. The goal is to analyze the current situation in rice-growing complex of the Kazakh Aral Sea region, to reveal the problems of production and sales of products, to analyze the effectiveness of state programs in this area. The authors note that production of environmentally friendly products will reduce their cost, improve quality without increasing material and labor costs. Methods – quantitative-qualitative and factor analysis, economic-statistical, abstract-logical conclusions. Results – it should be taken into account that rice cultivation areas should be concentrated only in specialized agricultural entities that have an equipped material and technical base, the possibility of introducing innovations and increasing export potential, complete processing of foo d products, mastering rice-alfalfa crop rotations. Conclusions – in order to effectively transfer the latest technologies, it is necessary to expand rice tracts, effectively conduct agro-industrial production, determine the region's resources for export, concentrate rice fields in specialized peasant (private) farms, and effective system of innovative activity based on the balance of its tools and levers. Priority should be given to compr ehensive reconstruction and technical re-equipment of existing irrigation systems with simultaneous consideration of differentiated tariffs for irrigation water.

The growth in flaxseed oil consumption is due to the popularity of a healthy lifestyle, the ease of its use in nutrition, and the increased demand of food manufacturers. Flax has gained great popularity as an ingredient for various flour products, jelly, cereals, etc. The purpose of the study is to study the flax oil market in Kazakhstan, the problems and prospects for its development. Methods – industry information from open and closed professional databases, reporting of enterprises, information about their foreign economic activity, publications in scientific literature and the media, consumer and expert surveys, monitoring of wholesale and retail prices, aggregated into a single information array was analyzed. Results – a detailed systematic analysis of market offers of oil of this agricultural crop in the republic in 2017-2021 was carried out, growth rates of its main indicators, trade balance in physical and value terms, production of this type of food in the regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan are presented. External factors affecting consumption and distribution channels are considered. The impact of quarantine restrictions due to the coronovirus pandemic, which disrupted established economic ties along the entire chain from growing oilseeds to their processing, was noted. The main directions for the sale of raw materials and commercial products were identified. Conclusions – the Kazakhstani linen sub-complex in a short period entered the top three world leaders. In the medium term, domestic exporters have the opportunity to strengthen their positions by market structuring and branding their products. It is necessary to carry out indu stry research, including development of the latest formulations of oil and fat products with the involvement of processing facilities; increasing the area under flax cultivation, applying the best farming practices that ensure preservation and increase in the fertility of farmland.

Beef cattle breeding is the most important branch of agro -industrial complex of Kazakhstan, since providing the population with beef of the required quantity and quality is the most important component of the country's food security strategy. Aim – based on the analysis, to calculate the optimal parameters for production of cattle meat in the West Kazakhstan region, necessary to improve its efficiency. Methods – the study used a systematic approach, tools for contextual data and cause-and-effect relationships, correlation-regression and linear optimization. Results – studies confirm the importance of increasing this valuable product in the near future. To the greatest extent, this subcomplex is deve loped in Akzhaik, Baiterek, Kaztalovsky, Zhangalinsky districts, which are characterized by a favorable combination of natural and economic factors. The article analyzes the dynamics of the rate of meat production in live weight for all categories of farms. The regression dependence of the influence of livestock on the level of profitability and sales of livestock products is determined. The proposed justified concept makes it possible to develop methodological techniques for identifying the highest production indicators in beef cattle breeding and modeling their impact on efficiency. Conclusions – an increase in productivity of beef cattle is possible with a change in the conditions of keeping animals, structure of the herd, and use of market mechanisms. An increase in the number of livestock population should be ensured by expanding the material and technical base, the availability of premises for cattle and feed. Based on the study of the existing territorial organization of agriculture in the region, recommendations were developed for changing the territorial structure of this sector of agroindustrial complex. To maintain a competitive position in regional market of meat and meat products, agricultural producers and processors need to actively attract investment resources in modernization and reconstruction of production facilities. The results of the study can be used to form a clear idea of regional priorities for the development of beef cattle breeding.

The goal is to study topical issues of development of water resources in agriculture in Kazakhstan. Methods – general scientific: logical, systematic approach, analysis and synthesis, detailing and generalization, comparison, as well as quantitative and qualitative - to assess the effectiveness of the use of water bodies. Results – the causes of water shortage in the republic are determined. Its shortage is influenced by factors such as soil and climatic conditions (on a verage, out of 5 years, 2-3 years are dry), increase of the population (in 2021, compared to 2016, the growth was about 7.0%), uneven distribution of irrigation water by region, reduction of irrigated land under agricultural crops, deterioration of irrigation facilities, lack of reliable collector and drainage networks, pollution of rivers and lakes due to anthropogenic loads. It is proved that the water security of the country depends on the neighboring states – Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan. The results of scientific research of water scientists of the Kazakh National Agrarian Research University on rational management of water sources and transboundary water allocations, consumption of drinking water, expansion of sown areas on artificial irrigation, introduction of water-saving technologies and provision of agricultural land with sprinkling, restor ation of degraded and saline soils, watering of pastures, using the latest digitalization models are presented. Conclusions – according to the authors, it is necessary to develop effective mech anisms for public support of water sectors in Kazakhstan. To solve the above problems, it is necessary to strengthen training of highly qualified personnel capable of searching for and transferring new knowledge, the best innovative projects in the field of the water management complex with their adaptation to local conditions.

The goal is to analyze domestic and foreign experience in formation of the value of agricultural land and develop a new approach to their assessment. Methods – monographic, analytical, statistical, abstract-logical. Results – the author's research states that in Kazakhstan prices for land plots began to form since 1995, after transition to market relations. It is shown that in order to involve it in market turnover, it was necessary to adopt a number of legislative documents. In particular, it was classified as real estate and was subject to state registration. It is determined that initially payment for land was formed in primary market, where the price was set by the state. Since that moment, 27 years have passed (on the lands of settlements) and 19 years (on agricultural lands). It was revealed that the base rates for agricultural land did not change, for the land of RS - from 2008 to 2019. However, for example, in Nur-Sultan – last time they were approved in 2012, in Almaty – in 2015. In Shymkent, despite the acquisition of the status of a republican appointment, the standard remained at the level of 2012. An analysis of distribution of privately owned land in the Republic of Kazakhstan, land tax receipts for 2015 -2021 is given. Conclusions – over the past 7 years there have been significant changes (devaluation, pandemic, political situation, etc.), cost has increased dramatically, but on agricultural land it has remained unchanged. All this, in turn, requires the improvement of methods for determining tariffs for agricultural land. Since the republic has switched to a digital format for maintaining a land cadastre, it is necessary to create a map of market prices for land plots by regions and conduct their constant monitoring.

The goal is to determine the areas of application of land remote sensing data for the purpose of index agricultural insurance. Methods – monographic, cartographic, comparative analysis, abstract-logical. Results – the authors note that agricultural production is quite a risky activity, directly dependent on climatic features of the region. In this regard, agricultural insu rance is the most effective way of financial protection of agricultural producers of the republic. The stage at which this process is currently located does not allow us to speak about the use of this tool as a systemic institution for the development of agricultural sector with the range of opport unities that are widely used in practice o f economically developed countries. The situation in the field of agricultural insurance in Kazakhstan is characterized by a small share of insured areas of crops and animals, despite the support of this type of insurance by the State. The introduction of modern technologies in the form of information on remote land survey will simplify the mech anism of agricultural risk insurance and increase the volume of insurance operations, ensuring r eduction in adverse outcomes in the effective management of agro-industrial complex. The foreign experience of using various variations of index agricultural insurance based on information on the observation of land surface by aviation and space means has been studied. Conclusions – the analysis of the current state of insurance coverage in agro-industrial production, including insurance products, made it possible to calculate the probability of insured case in crop insurance u sing the index methodology and obtain more accurate and representative solutions through the use of a large array of initial statistical data. Proposals have been developed to improve the exis ting mechanisms of insurance procedures to increase competitiveness of products, raw materials and food.

The problem of preserving and increasing soil fertility is becoming increasingly important due to the sharp deterioration of their condition, increasing degradation. The further development of agriculture in the republic is determined by the improvement of its structure, the wider use of innovative resource-saving technologies and integrated reclamation systems. Purpose – the article deals with the use of agricultural land, taking into account irrigation systems in the Turkestan region. Methods – statistical processing to obtain quantitative and effective indicators, as well as comparative analysis and synthesis, a systematic approach. Results – obtaining the main indicators made it possible to carry out calculations to determine technical and economic indicators that identify the strengths and weaknesses of the development of agroindustrial complex, which will make it possible in the future to develop a forecast for creation of investment projects in the sectors of agriculture of Kazakhstan. The distribution of the land fund of the region by land categories is shown, the analysis of composition of agricultural lands by types, their division into reclamation groups is given. The authors note that the potential for intensifying the branches of domestic agro-industrial complex may be the restoration of irrigated areas with reconstruction of reclamation facilities. With the rational use of land and correct implementation of work aimed at improving their quality, taking into account regional characteristics, technical level and efficiency of irrigation devices, productivity of agricultural land will increase. Conclusions – the features of land reclamation and unsettled areas imply a purposeful social production activity, which objective is to provide a variety of natural resources and a favorable environment. Land reclamation is an important factor in intensification of agricultural production, opening up wide reserves for in creasing productivity and creating a solid fodder base for livestock breeding. A digital platform for reclamation water management system should be developed. As a result, there will be a signi ficant increase in the effectiveness of field crop production.

The goal is to show the importance of social and engineering infrastructure for the development of rural areas, how it affects the demographic situation, income level of the villagers; to substantiate effective ways to solve problems. In the course of the study, following methods were used – economic-statistical, abstract-logical, monographic, comparative analysis, systematization, logistic. Results – despite public support measures and programs, national projects which were developed for sustainable development of the Kazakhstani village, a number of reasons have been identified in rural areas that complicate the situation, main of which are demographic processes, migration of able-bodied residents, low purchasing power, lack of water, insufficient access to road surfaces, transport, the Internet, social service facilities, imperfect regulatory and legal framework for their regulation and maintenance. An analysis of urbanization, decrease in the number of rural citizens and rural settlements due to obsolescence and inconsistency with modern social and engineering and technical requirements was carried out. As a result, in 1991 compared to 2021 the number of RS decreased by 20%, 2022 - by 6.4% compared to 2008. Conclusions – integrated approach to the development of rural areas is needed. To this end, more attention should be paid to social and engineering services. This requires the development of measures that would simultaneously contribute to the expansion of production, increase profitability, ensure the material well-being of agricultural producers, as well as the development of rural areas, creation of favorable conditions for their population. As part of the implementation of state programs, the solution of these issues should be aimed at construction and reconstruction, major and current repairs, modernization of water and heat supply, housing and communal services.
