The author of the paper focuses on the lack of trade of organic products between the countries of Central Asia and demonstrates it using the example of inter-State turnover of agricul-tural raw materials between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. He reasonably explains the reasons of the late transition to production of environmentally friendly products in comparison with western countries. Expresses his own opinion on double organic standard for domestic and foreign mar-kets. Voluntary adoption of organic production standards is associated with certain risks, there-fore the author convincingly justifies the need for government support to farmers by using finan-cial and non-financial support methods. The paper presents possible parameters of diversification of agriculture from traditional to organic and stimulating organic farmers.

The benefits of Kazakhstan's accession to the WTO depend on the effective State policy to support agribusiness and export-oriented industries. The assessment of the factors influencing on the development of the economy of agroindustrial complex and advantages of territorial and economic situation of Kazakhstan, exploring the potential for export opportunities development, justification of the policy of diversification of food exports and commodity product flows. The efficiency of functioning of sensitive industries of agroindustrial complex can be improved by im-proving the mechanism for implementing economic tools, taking into account the competitive ad-vantages of specific products. The article systemizes the directions of development of agri-food processes in the context of Kazakhstan's accession to the WTO, studies of sensitive agricultural products affecting the country's food security have been carried out.

The legal basis for functioning of national agricultural sector of economy is considered in the context of integration in terms of customs and tariff regulation, formation of a competitive environment, application of sanitary, phytosanitary, quarantine and veterinary-sanitary measures, technical regulation, protective measures for trade and internal market. In particular, in the frame of the WTO, the adopted documents in the field of AIC show that although the main risks for Ka-zakhstan producers are related to the reduction of customs and tariff protection of market, the increased trade openness, the world practice shows that currently the verified non-tariff tools for regulating import flows are more important. At the same time, the regulatory-legislative framework of EAEC equalizes the development levels of agri sectors of the integrating countries, creates equal competitive conditions for agribusiness. In addition, the removal of barriers in mutual trade between States significantly accelerates commodity circulation, expands opportunities for the creation of joint ventures (JVs).

The modern principles of the functioning of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union have been considered, the main features and tools for its implementation have been analyzed, and financing mechanism has been presented. Common agricultural policy is the most important direction of general policy of the European Union. This is confirmed by the fact that a significant part of the EU budget - more than 60% has been traditionally allocated. The common agricultural policy has been implemented since the end of the 50s of the XX century, as the agro-industrial complexes of the EU member States developed, it has been constantly improved, new mechanisms of its implementation were introduced. Analyzing the main stages of reforming the CAP of the EU, it can be concluded that the most significant reforms were carried out in 1992, when direct payments related to production were introduced, and in 2003, with reduction of dependence between subsidies and production volume. Reform of the 2014-2020 is aimed at increasing farmers' incomes, development of rural areas and addressing environmental problems.

The evaluation of the efficiency of the agro-food system of the West Kazakhstan re-gion in integration in the frame of the Eurasian Economic Union has been conducted. The border-line position of the region contributes to its active role in integration processes. The positive im-pact of integration activity on the indicators of the regional economic development in trade in food and agricultural raw materials is underlined. In the structure of mutual trade the intersectoral component prevails. The results of the regression model indicate a possible growth of the gross regional product due to the increased exports and foreign trade turnover of agri-food products of WKR. The forecast of the indicators of the regional gross product, the turnover of foreign trade in the frame of existing integration associations and growth of the integration effect are presented. Increasing integration causes the need for structural changes in regional agri-food system.

The dynamics of Kazakhstan's positions in the overall rating of the Global Innovation Index was studied on the basis of the annual reports "Global Innovation Index" published by Cor-nell University, the INSEAD business school (European Institute for Business Administration) and the World Intellectual Property Organization. The strengths and weaknesses of the country's in-novation system have been revealed. It has been determined that in recent years, indicators of resources and results of innovation activity have undergone significant changes. It is shown that positive dynamics of the global innovation index is observed in the republic. However, despite the presence of pronounced competitive advantages, the comparison with the leaders shows a lag in some dimensions of the rating. It was suggested that the international exhibition EXPO-2017 will have a favorable impact on the development of small and medium-sized businesses and the emergence of new opportunities to enhance the global innovation index of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The policy of promoting domestic agricultural products to the world market will ensure food security. In this regard, it is necessary to build the capacity of import substitution aimed at expanding domestic market by saturating with domestic food products using protection measures. The article shows the role of concentration of efforts on strategic positions of State regulation, operative monitoring of agri-food market. The tendencies in the development of world markets of agro products, increased production in the industry, simultaneous increase of the number of active market participants, main component of import substitution policy, and a set of measures on tariff regulation have been considered. The authors state that development of pro-cessing industry of the agri sector of the republic should be carried out on the basis of intensifi-cation of measures on import substitution, increase of investment activity, improving its produc-tion base and quality of products optimizing commodity flows in foreign trade turnover.

The main indicators of the development of agriculture in Almaty region for all categories of farms have been studied: volume of gross output in terms of areas and crop production over the past five years, structure of crop production, sown area for 2016, production of fruits and grapes in 2012-2016. The consumption of products per capita, the share of farm categories in production of main types of crop production in region have been presented. Particular importance is paid to the present state of peasant farms. The sizes of sown areas, the share of peasant farms in agricultural production of the region, the yield of agricultural crops, the ways of marketing of crop production, the volume of gross output of services and products for January 2017 have been presented.

The issues of financial regulation of AIC complex of Kazakhstan in recent years are shown. It is noted that strategic importance and specific features of agriculture require the devel-opment of new approaches to the management of this industry, its investment at regional level. The main task of State regulation of the economic development of the sector is the investment development of agricultural production, as investment growth is one of the main factors contrib-uting to the rise of agro-industrial production, solution of the problems of updating regional technical and technological base, deterioration of fixed assets in agriculture, and ensuring sustainable development of agricultural sector of economy. The analysis of financing of agricultural sector in conditions of market economy is carried out, attention is paid to budgetary and credit levers of influence on development of entities of agricultural production. Proposals on further improvement of the State financial regulation of the republic's AIC are presented.

Theoretical justification of the concept of financial resources is presented, specifics and main issues of financing of agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan are shown. This aspect is ana-lyzed in the activity of JSC "NUKH "KazAgro" in dynamics. The foreign experience is presented, the possibilities of using various financial instruments for the development of the entities of agri production of the republic and main directions for improving the system of public support in the AIC of the Republic of Kazakhstan are considered. In conclusion, it was noted that instable financing for agribusinesses is complicated by the im-pact of modern globalization processes, and their financing is directly dependent on specifics of agricultural production, which affect the organization of this process, structure of sources, uses, volumes and stability of financing.

Topical issues related to the specifics of pricing on grain market and processed prod-ucts market have been considered. The algorithm of pricing on grain market has been developed, including successive stages; research of the company's external environment, determination of the objectives of price policy, evaluation of demand and costs of grain production and sales. Us-ing the system analysis method, the main pricing models were studied: expenditure, market de-mand, competitiveness. Methodological approaches to grain pricing based on information on ex-penditures have been improved. In price formation the agricultural commodity producer plans the expenses related to production and sales. The price formation factor includes production costs and expected revenue. Significant items of expenses include the purchase of mineral fertilizers and petroleum products.

The ways of distribution of overhead costs in the organization of pond farms, which in-volve reducing non-production costs, are considered. The order of distribution of overhead costs contributes to the accounting of the value of fish production. In order to control overhead costs, it is necessary to create monitoring centers for pond farms. The methodology of allocating over-head costs should be reflected in the accounting policy of fish products. The direct and overhead costs shown in this article are the basis for assessing the activities of production units in fisher-ies industries, closely related to accounting, analysis and management of economic operations. The results of the study contribute to improvement of financial performance of pond farms, reduc-tion of production costs, identification of reserves of improvement of efficiency of this industry.

The fodder base has a great influence on the development of animal husbandry. Unprof-itable livestock production is explained by high costs of animals feed. In this regard, at present, the optimization of feeding rations of farm animals is becoming important, which makes it possi-ble to reduce their cost and leads to the reduction of cost of meat production. The article provides the calculation of the optimization of daily ration of fodder on growing and fattening based on the example of the enterprise in Akmola region for further perspective. Optimization of rations of farm animals is traditionally carried out on the basis of linear economic-mathematical model, the objec-tive function of which is the minimum cost of ration, and requirements for the quality of the diet are presented in the form of strict restrictions on composition of food components in the diet and a number of correlations.

The problems that restrict the development of horticulture industry in the republic have been revealed, the role of various forms of management in total volume of horticulture production has been presented. Factors that reduce the effectiveness of fruit growing, reserves of efficient production of fruits and berries have been considered. It is noted that the development of large horticulture agricultural companies is necessary for industrial horticulture production. The em-phasis was placed on the importance of cooperation and integration processes in the system of economic entities. The author notes that for effective structural reforms it is necessary to under-take a number of economic, legal and organizational measures aimed at creating large plantations of industrial type that meet modern requirements of science and practice.

To integrate into the world agricultural economy, it is necessary to produce competitive agricultural products, which should be cheaper, and quality and labor productivity higher. These indicators can be achieved through organization of agricultural cooperatives. Forms and types of agricultural cooperatives, methodological bases of their classification have been considered. Methods of organization of work, principles of operation have been presented. Foreign experience of economically developed countries has been presented, opinions of leading scientists of the world on this problem have been stated. Author's interpretation of the essence of this issue has been presented. The authors state that the correct definition of the economic nature of agricultur-al cooperatives, their clear division by the forms and types of cooperatives is of great importance for the development of agricultural cooperation in AIC of countries, including Azerbaijan.

The current state of agricultural cooperatives is considered according to their number, specialization, production volumes based on statistical accounting data for the first quarter of this year. The activities of dairy cooperatives are presented in more detail, since the low utilization of milk processing capacities has prompted the creation of cooperatives in this area. Data on pro-duction of milk in the whole country in terms of regions, including agricultural cooperatives, in-formation on their ranking, State support measures that meet the requirements for the provision of quality products, contains data on subsidies. Specialization, composition and structure of members of cooperatives, volumes of milk production in the context of agricultural cooperatives and regions have been presented.

The experience of foreign countries in the formation of land use on the basis of regula-tion of land relations has been considered. Current restrictions on the size of land which is leased and in provided for private property to one individual and legal entity have been presented. The minimum and maximum size of land use granted to one person in the countries of the world have been analyzed. Direct payments to farmers in EU and EAEC countries have been studied. The analysis of the current legislation on land turnover in foreign countries has been presented. The results of the work of the Land Commission of the RK and the costs revealed in the process of land reform have been presented. Measures taken by the Government of the RK on their elimina-tion by introducing a 5 years moratorium for the sale of land to private ownership and main direc-tions for improving land relations in Kazakhstan have been outlined. One of the most important issues is the development of a methodology of determining the maximum land sizes that can be leased to the citizens of Kazakhstan.

The analysis of the results of reforming of land relations in the republic and their com-pliance with the world trends has been carried out. It was determined that the formation of a mul-tistructural agricultural economy took place in compliance with world experience and taking into account the specifics of natural-production conditions, but the process of reforming of large-scale land use plots with allocation of a large number of small land plots was insufficiently man-aged, which had negative impact on agricultural production efficiency level, conducting activities on organization of rational land use and protection. The distribution of agricultural land and tar-geted use of land plots by entities of different forms of ownership has been presented. The dy-namics of composition of economic entities in agri sector and the average size of agribusinesses in Kazakhstan have been presented. New trends of integration of small commodity producers through cooperation have been noted, which reduces the negative consequences of excessive breakage of land use plots.

One of the basic conditions for the proper organization of production is the determina-tion of the prospects of its development. Each agricultural enterprise has a long-term develop-ment plan. For its implementation, according to the Land Code of the RK, projects of in-farm land management are developed, and for rural settlements - land and economic system projects. The article discusses topical issues of non-coordination of intra-farm land management and prospects for the development of rural settlements, in addition, agricultural land is often located in two, three, and sometimes even more rural districts. The analysis of project design is carried out, the main ways of addressing the set issues are shown, proposals on improvement of the territorial organization of production, use and protection of land within the boundaries of agricultural enter-prises and land-economic arrangement of rural settlements.

The article considers the problems of ensuring the country's food security in the context of deepening integration processes, improving agricultural policy based on the concept of a new State program of the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan. The need to apply new State regula-tion tools and reform of the agro-industrial sector is noted, which in turn requires greater cooper-ation with many international organizations, among them the author identifies the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the International Epizootic Bureau (OIE), the Food and Agriculture Organization at the UN (FAO), the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Interaction with such organizations will solve specific problems of a systemic nature. A special role is assigned to FAO, the cooperation with which will provide qualified consultations in the de-velopment of agricultural policy.

The issues of regional development of agri sector of economy of Kazakhstan are con-sidered. At the present stage of development of regional management, it becomes necessary to apply anti-crisis measures taking into account the "green economy" in order to obtain more effec-tive results of development of industries concentrated in the regions. The existing issues of im-proving the structure and relationships between the AIC spheres have been analyzed, the main one of which is the optimization of the systems of movement of agricultural products from pro-ducer to consumer. The role of State support in establishing and operation of agricultural cooper-atives on processing and services is shown. The analysis of activity of the enterprises of dairy production is presented. The author notes that for regions with meat and milk specialization, it is necessary to develop a regional program that contributes to the prevention and minimization of crisis risks. The purpose of anti-crisis measures is the quick restoration of the rates of economic growth, social development of agricultural enterprises on the basis of improving the quality of products and increasing the level of development of the regions of the republic.

The review of foreign experience of development of agro-industrial production and State support in the USA, Canada, Argentina, Australia, EU is presented. The author of the article em-phasizes that foreign concept of management of agri production is based on State regulation, support of the activities of agricultural enterprises and economic self-government. The policy of development of rural areas of the EU, the tasks of State regulation of the agricultural sector in de-veloped countries, the experience of the United Kingdom, the United States and France in the sys-tem of economic self-government have been considered. The share of the cooperative sector in rural economy of the EU countries and main indicators of the development of EU agricultural co-operatives have been determined. The widespread types of farming cooperation in Europe, measures of direct and indirect subsidization of agroindustrial complex in foreign countries, the policy of agricultural prices and farm incomes, the extent of the State interference in the econom-ic activity of the AIC entities have shown.

On the basis of statistical methods, the indicators of yield stability have been calculated, the size of crop areas and gross harvest of cereals is shown. The analysis of dynamics of grain production stability indicators in Kostanai region for 2001-2015 is presented, deviations from the average value are determined. With the help of regression analysis, the influence of economic fac-tors on the stability of grain production in the Kostanay region was analyzed. It is shown that the achievement of sustainable development of agricultural production is possible due to calculations of scientifically grounded indicators that characterize the level of stability of grain crops. The sci-entific aspects of the overall sustainable development of agriculture are described, which are mostly characterized by determination of the yield of grain crops and grain gross volume. As a result of the analysis of yield indicators, gross harvest and sown areas, the relevant conclusions were drawn and measures for increasing production of cereals were shown.

Import substitution involves the implementation of protectionist policies, contributes to improvement of the structure of payment balance, normalization of domestic demand, employ-ment, development of knowledge-intensive industries and scientific potential. Rationalization of food imports involves solution of two main tasks: increasing the share of machinery, equipment and high technologies in the import structure, creating a competitive environment for imported food products as a result of the development of substitute industries in agriculture and food in-dustry. The article includes a correlation and regression analysis of production of butter to identi-fy the directions of interaction between the variables that are relevant to the increased production of butter. The current state of butter market has been studied and it is revealed that quality of do-mestic producers is worse than quality of the import producer.
