One of the promising sectors of agricultural sector is production of livestock products, provision of high-quality food products, as well as goods for export purposes, and creation of state reserves. The development of livestock production sector, increasing productivity of animals and regulating domestic meat market, which is integrating into the world economy in the conditions of the EAEU, are the subject of research by domestic and foreign scientists. Purpose – the article is devoted to the study of economic efficiency of economic entities operating in the te rritory of Kazakhstan, their potential aimed at improving genetic indicators and increasing the number of livestock and poultry. Methods – statistical, comparisons and generalizations, logical approach to presentation. Results – the authors state an increase in the number of cattle and at the same time still low milk yields due to the concentration mainly in personal subsidiary plots with an insufficient level of selection and breeding work and introduction of new technologies. The authors consider some aspects related to the use of various breeds, in particular the dairy direction, based on the conversion rate, milk yield per 1 cow. A comparative analysis of productivity of new types and breeds of domestic selection revealed that the average milk yield per animal per lactation is 4.5-5.5 thousand kg compared to the prevailing in the republic in all categories of farms – 2.0-2.5 thousand kg Conclusions – the country has large areas of natural pastures, is traditionally a grain exporter, which contributes to the achievement of significant results in obtaining competitive beef both by increasing the number of meat contingent, obtaining high-quality breed resources, and by intensifying technologies, innovations, expanding the scale of fattening, increasing the mass of young animals sold for meat.

The goal is to identify the problems of ensuring the country's food security, structuring its elements. Methods – the work uses a systematic approach to data selection, methods of quantitative and qualitative research, principles of economic, statistical and comparative analysis. Results – the authors analyzed the industries and production involved in saturating the market with high-quality food products. It is shown that the key segments are rational consumption rates, food security, their physical and economic accessibility for all population groups, and potential growth opportunities. The levels of sustainable development of agricultural sector are considered in detail: state, regional from the position of the subject solving the food issue, main directions that form the food supply system of the state, importance of implementing its mechanisms is substantiated. In connection with the increase in the demand of domestic market for organic products, the need to intensify its cultivation is indicated. The expansion of the "bio" segment will contribute to the revitalization of rural areas, create competitive advantages. Conclusions – the priority is the implementation of a set of measures to increase the income of workers in this area, the development of social infrastructure for the livelihood of rural residents not below urban standards. Increasing investment in innovation requires effective, efficient public support for the introduction of highly productive animal breeds and lines and other modernization trends that promote intensification. The experience of economic policy that ensures high rates of expanded reproduction is available both in Kazakhstan and abroad. It is important to predict and prevent emerging threats and risks for the economy of the republic.

The goal is to identify the problems of food supply in the country, development of a set of measures aimed at improving the efficiency of agricultural production. Along with the principles of dialectical approach to this study, its methodological basis is the following methods – monographic, scientific abstraction, statistical, principles of complexity, consistency. Results – the author's interpretation of the concept "food security" from economic point of view is given. The types and criteria of food supply, predetermined by the potential and possibility of competition of domestic producers in regional and international markets, are substantiated, indicators of the nutritional and energy value of food consumed by twenty percent groups of the population of Kazakhstan, production of meat products in the EAEU (farms of all categories), resources of certain types of food and raw materials for socially significant goods are considered. The priority directions of the state policy in solving the food issue, improving the level and quality of life of the population of the republic in the future are shown. Conclusions – the authors proposed ways to resolve the food situation. To reduce import dependence and increase domestic production, it is necessary to modernize the material and technical base, create effective clusters based on the unification of small producers into medium and large enterprises, rational use of agricultural land, and effective state support. It is important to note that Kazakhstani agricultural producers have sufficient capabilities to produce competitive products. The strategic objective of the implementation of food programs is to guarantee access to the population of the country to food products in the range and volumes necessary and sufficient according to physiological norms of consumption. The guarantee of its achievement is the stability of predominantly domestic food and raw materials, as well as the availability of the necessary reserves, including reserve funds. Pig breeding, due to its high profitability and rapid turnover of funds, is one of the promising areas for the development of agricultural sector of Kazakhstan.

Purpose – the article discusses the current aspects of the development of agroindustrial complex on the example of the Aktobe region, presents recommendations that contribute to the solution of these issues. Research methods – abstract-logical, statistical, observation, scientific abstraction. Factor analysis, grouping method, tabular and graphical methods of data visualization were used as statistical tools. Results – studying the foreign practice of modernizing agricultural sector in order to ensure food security, the authors note that the main criteria should include the system of state and local self-government, legislative framework, fiscal and monetary regulation, mechanism of subsidizing and lending, investment, innovation policy. The main indi 
cators of agricultural production in the region for 2017-2021 are analyzed. It is proved that at present it is necessary to restore this strategically important sector of economy on a qualitatively new technical and technological basis that meets modern trends. Agrarian science of Kazakhstan has developed a fairly large number of innovations, the implementation of which in the agroindustrial complex would raise it to a high level. However, the degree of use of innovations by commodity producers remains very low. One of the problems of the low activity of innovative processes is the lack of motivation in the development of innovations by agricultural producers. Conclusions – innovative development involves the transition to resource-saving technologies that contribute not only to increasing production volumes, but also saving resources, as well as achieving the required level of food security. This complex task requires the creation of appropriate conditions: appropriate infrastructure for innovation activity, a set of material, technical, legislative means for information, marketing, financial, and personnel services for business entities.

Issues and prospects of relations between the state and business have always been in the spotlight. They acquire particular relevance and significance when many sectors of economy need state support. The revision of the principles of agribusiness is fundamentally changing the approach to creating competitive enterprises in agricultural sector. One of the effective mechanisms is public-private partnership (PPP), which has not yet been fully studied, its potential has not been revealed. Successful implementation of PPP projects in grain products subcomplex requires an indepth study, generalization and systematization of the experience of their use by national and foreign companies that have achieved high results in this area. A detailed analysis of the directions for increasing the competitiveness of domestic grain industry, primarily targeted investment in the development of production, is needed. The goal is a comprehensive study of theoretical and methodological foundations for creating models of public-private partnership in the agro-industrial complex. Methods – synthesis, systematization of scientific views to determine the potential of PPP in agriculture. Results – essence and various interpretations of the concept of "public-private partnership" are shown, foreign experience in improving existing and emerging new forms of PPP as an institution for stimulating entrepreneurial activity is considered, the advantages of society, the state and business in the framework of public-private partnership are identified, as well as problems that constrain its development. Conclusions – based on the interpretation of the data, it has been established that discussions on PPP issues in the republic are due to the specifics and high risks in agricultural production, however, in a number of economically developed countries, this type of partnership has proven practical effectiveness and has become an important element in ensuring food security, attracting long-term investments in the agro-industrial complex, increasing its profitability, obtaining high quality products and their availability.

Agritourism in the system of modern tourist market occupies a special place. The organization and development of rural tourism in Kazakhstan is directly related to globalization and urbanization trends taking place in the modern world. Tourism industry is a form of tourism that can be organized in rural areas, it is becoming more and more popular and demanded by consumers. This sector allows reorienting rural residents to other activities that contribute to the growth of agrieconomy of remote settlements, preservation of ecosystems and cultural values, sustainable development of territories and solution of such problems as low level of social and engineering infrastructure, rural unemployment. In the State Program for the Development of Tourism Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2019-2025, significant attention is paid to agricultural tourism. The article focuses on its theoretical and practical foundations, the impact on the potential of rural settlements. Purpose – the factors of expanding the range of tourist services as a mechanism for ensuring the welfare of rural residents are considered and systematized. Methods – scientific generalization, classification, systemic, comparative, bibliographic analysis, abstract-logical. Results – the features of agricultural entrepreneurship as a successful tourist destination are analyzed, and its types are classified based on the results of the analysis. Taking into account international practices, the models of tourism agribusiness and their main characteristics are shown. Conclusions – the study of theory and practice of tourism sector indicates that spread of its scale contributes to the solution of economic, social and environmental problems in the country. The development of this industry is carried out progressively, based on existing world traditions and original specifics. Like in other states, it began to be considered as an important segment of modernization of agricultural economy, promising innovations in rural entrepreneurship.

The development of agro-tourism in the Mangistau region is taking place in the economic and socio-cultural areas, becoming important in preservation of natural and cultural heritage. Purpose – the authors consider the current state and prospects of rural tourism in the region. Methods – the information base of the study is statistical data from the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan, information from domestic periodicals and international literature sources. Results – analysis of the available tourism resources in rural areas of the region based on the 4E model of Joseph Pine and James Gilmore was carried out, a comparison of the demographic situation in the countryside and in the city, seasonality of tourism activities was determined, the resources of tourism industry were analyzed, and best foreign practices were shown. Shortcomings of objects of tourist agribusiness were revealed in the region. The authors point out that this type of tourist services is still underdeveloped due to numerous problems that hinder their spread, among which are the backwardness of social and engineering infrastructure of rural areas, poor quality of the road network and transport links. All this reduces the attractiveness, does not contribute to the preservation of the ecology of rural areas, makes it difficult to arrange and create the necessary conditions for accommodation of tourists. Conclusions – agro-tourism helps to strengthen the economy of rural settlements, creates additional jobs, reduces the outflow of villagers to cities, increases their cultural and intellectual level, stimulates production of environmentally friendly food, income generation due to the development of local trade. Expanding the scope of its distribution requires a systematic approach, taking into account the specifics of the region.

In the current position of Kazakhstan on the world stage, food production accounts for more than 50% of the country's trade turnover, in this regard, the industry's prospects are to saturate food market and provide the population with jobs. Purpose the article shows the current state of food industry of the republic. Methods – analysis and synthesis, statistical, factorial, on the basis of which the assessment of current situation of food enterprises was made. Results – on the example of the Akmola region, indicators of the effectiveness of large, medium and small agricultural enterprises were identified. Sectoral, regional, socio-economic aspects of the development of food industry are considered. Assessing its place and role in food security, real opportunities and scientific and practical prerequisites for expanding the business environment and increasing employment are outlined. The authors point out the need for further development of the processing sector, which will provide agricultural producers with markets for their products, create conditions for employment, attract investments to the region, ensure socio-economic stability in the region, and improve the quality of life. The article presents the standards of budget subsidies for certain types of food. The importance of monitoring promising trends in food production in the country, which are currently little studied, is noted. Conclusions – agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan is characterized by multi-vector sectoral parameters that affect the competitiveness of food products. Emphasis is placed on the relevance of organization of agro-logistic and service, wholesale and distribution centers. The solution of issues related to the supply of the population with food products in the required volumes is a priority task of state policy.

The goal is to outline conceptual foundations of the circular economy in agriculture, to study the directions of its development. Methods – comparisons, generalizations, expert opinion, statistical based on obtaining primary data, as well as theoretical analysis of scientific literature of foreign and domestic authors. Results – features of the circular transformation of the industry and main differences from the traditional way of agricultural production are determined. The article shows its essence and principles of implementation in agricultural sector. The prospects for world development require the creation of a resource-efficient agri-food system. As a result of the study, indicators were analyzed that can measure the circularity of agro-industrial production: slowdown, reduction and regeneration. It was revealed that in conditions of resource scarcity, climate change, environmental degradation, increasing demand for food, the circular economy is a strategy for the rational use of renewable natural resources, contributes to solving global problems. Conclusions – the proposed approaches to creating a new, rational food and nutrition chain are aimed at maintaining the value of products and resources for a long period, returning them to production cycle after the end of use, minimizing waste generation, reducing food losses, ensuring food security and economic growth. Based on the study of foreign experience, the authors substantiate the importance of state support and scientific support for circular economy. The speedy solution of the issues revealed in the article is of interest in the preparation of draft state, sectoral programs for socio-economic development of the agro-industrial complex, will ensure a more efficient use of raw materials in the framework of production processes.

The goal is to search for indicators and optimal measures to increase labor productivity in sheep breeding, study the profitability of the industry, depending on productive, economic and biological characteristics. Methods – analysis of sheep breeding and breeding methods, the use of modern technologies, as well as statistical data of domestic and foreign markets for sheep products and their processing. Results – the project "Technology of industrial production of mutton and lamb" was developed, which is based on the cooperation of sheep farms together with processing enterprises, covering the pricing policy for food products, the cycle of raising sheep for slaughter. Conclusions – the authors are convinced that in the conditions of market relations, due attention should be paid to breed characteristics of animals, intensive fattening. They are characterized, first of all, by high fecundity, due to their genetics in combination with different productivity. Increasing export potential of the meat sheep breeding of the republic is one of the priorities of the state policy of Kazakhstan. Based on the main task of the country's economy facing agriculture, the growth of productive indicators of sheep-breeding sub-complex, increasing the volume of meat, wool and products of their processing are of great importance. Therefore, economic efficiency of this market segment must be considered in complex, according to criteria characterizing quantitative and qualitative indicators. The most important of them are: volume of gross output, size of gross and net income, cost and profitability of production, labor activity, capital productivity and return on capital investments, wages. To obtain the required amount of high-quality lamb and sheep wool, effective system of state support measures is required: state regulation of pricing processes; elimination of disparity in prices for agricultural and industrial goods; subsidizing agricultural producers in amounts that cover costs; preferential taxation and crediting.

Relevance the main component for production of feed products in livestock industry is feed grain. The provision of the republic with grain crops, as well as exports, are associated with their use for fodder purposes, consumption traditionally accounts for more than half of the domestic consumption of their processed products. The goal is to study the problems and prospects of the feed industry, which determines the effective functioning of the entire grain market, supplying agricultural enterprises and farms with necessary and high-quality feed. This was largely facilitated by the intensive development of food industry and grain farming, which became the main suppliers of raw materials for feed mills. Methods – comparative, systemic, statistical analysis, logical generalization. Results – the authors note that in the structure of feed raw materials, main share falls on barley, oats, wheat, while the share of corn and legumes has decreased. Based on the available livestock, the standard needs of animal husbandry are not provided. The export orientation of domestic grain production is primarily aimed at the needs of the world market, at the same time, domestic needs are satisfied on a residual basis. Rational use of cereals will improve the quality and competitiveness of animal products. The opportunities created by «National Company «Food Contract Corporation» JSC for the sale of grain fodder to poultry farms enhance holding back the prices for finished food products by concluding agreements with manufacturers and retail chains. Conclusions – it is obvious that the basis for the transfer of the livestock complex to industrial resource-saving technologies is the creation of a solid forage base. Without a balanced feeding of animals in terms of protein and vitamin-amino acid composition, other measures will not have the expected result. Emphasis is placed on the need to increase the capacity of large enterprises to provide feed products on industrial scale and manufacture dry nutritious feed mixtures in feed mills and factories based on their own raw materials, mineral and vitamin supplements for grain processing and livestock farms..

The purpose of the article is to develop recommendations on improving the mechanism of marketing system and formation of channels for promoting agricultural products. Methods – analytical, generalization, comparative analysis, economic and statistical, expert survey. Results – the problems and prospects of creating a national commodity distribution network (CDN) are considered. The factors influencing the development of CDN are analyzed. The authors state the need to create an organized and regulated wholesale trade in food products based on the effective use and modernization of the existing infrastructure of food market; improving the logistics system of agro-industrial complex; application of digital technologies, which will provide significant economic, social and environmental benefits; increasing the sustainability of all elements of commodity distribution chains of industrial goods – from production to consumption. Conclusions – it is shown that active continuous commodity circulation is carried out by increasing investments not only in construction, but also in modernization of infrastructure; comprehensive state support for production and marketing process, increasing the efficiency of interaction between its segments based on formation of more diverse and efficient distribution systems, the shortest supply routes by reducing the number of intermediaries and developing territorial markets; planning and regulation of CDN based on intersystem and interregional links; taking into account the interests of its participants based on creation of a flexible commodity distribution system, built taking into account effective innovative solutions. The author's approach lies in the expediency for the producer and consumer of moving agricultural products through marketing structures, in connection with this, it is proposed to carry out a number of institutional and market management measures.

Household farming contributes to a country's food security, increased livelihoods, better management of natural resources, environmental protection and sustainable rural development. The goal is to study the socio-economic characteristics of the potential of household farms in the context of modernization of agricultural sector, which determine the real competitiveness of rural entrepreneurs. Methods – analysis, comparison, generalization, allowing to identify the problems of individual-household agricultural sector of Kazakhstan, to assess the current state of the social and labor sphere of small forms of business, to show the main reasons for the reduction in employment in this segment, the backlog of rural areas in terms of social conditions of life and underestimated labor motivation due to the lack of a stable payed job. Results – the author notes that low productivity of the use of labor potential in rural families, the withdrawal of large areas of agricultural land from economic circulation and their subsequent degradation, the outflow of the population, especially young people, from the village are negative. On the basis of a sociological survey, the significance of sociocultural and motivational factors that contribute to the growth of the prestige of individual household forms and development of cooperation by uniting small farmers for the joint economic activities, expanding the scale of production, increasing investment attractiveness and competitiveness of agro-industrial complex is substantiated. Conclusions – the need for a comprehensive implementation of social, economic, environmental and spiritual interests of rural residents, assistance measures to increase production and labor resources of subjects of the rural household economy has been proved; expediency of consistent and systematic state support. All this contributes to the influx of agricultural personnel in agriculture, their consolidation in rural areas.

This review article is aimed at getting acquainted with the experience of developed countries in insuring the risks of agricultural producers. The creation of a reliable mechanism for their insurance protection is currently one of the aspects of ensuring food security of the republic and a special sphere of state interests. The purpose is to show common insurance practices and countries' policies in dealing with this issue. Methods – in the process of analyzing and evaluating the international level of state support for agricultural insurance, the author used the following research methods: content analysis, which allows to identify the main areas related to state financing of agricultural sector; on the basis of a systematic approach, the degree of state participation in insurance operations was determined; graphical interpretation made it possible to visualize this process on the basis of information received. Results – the article presents aspects of state investment of insurance premiums in agricultural sector. The author identifies and graphically displays three main categories of state assistance in agricultural insurance. The results of the review can be used to conduct research in all regions of the republic. Conclusions – world experience shows that subsidizing insurance payments is the most effective way to support small and medium-sized businesses and ensure economic sustainability of the industry, reduce negative consequences, including loss of income in production of products associated with the onset of adverse natural events. A coordinated and strategic approach to managing the insurance market, government support and effective mitigation methods are important, while direct government reimbursements are ineffective in the long run and do not contribute to the prevention of risk situations.

The renewal of fixed assets means the process of replacing obsolete means of labor with new, most perfect and modernized ones. In market economy and fierce competition between various manufacturers, one of the most important factors in increasing the profitability of production and economic activities of enterprises is the provision of their produced assets in the required quantity. Only with a good technical condition of production base, timely technical and technological re-equipment of production processes of economic entities, it is possible to have their stable growth. The goal is to analyze the theoretical and practical aspects of restoring the active part of the fixed production assets (hereinafter referred to as APFA) in crop production of the republic on the basis of economic and mathematical modeling. Methods – economic-mathematical, statistical, comparison, analysis and synthesis. Results – methodological provisions for the effective management of APFA are proposed. A system of standards was built and implemented, substantiating the indicators of economic efficiency of production (hereinafter referred to as IEEP). The main directions, tendencies and regularities of reproduction of the active part of fixed production assets are investigated. The criteria for the implementation of the method of planning and forecasting the pace of their reconstruction are shown. The set of normative IEEP is oriented to be used as a tool for decision-making by the country's authorities, allows to increase the volume of agricultural production over the forecast period (20 years). The calculation of the ratios of the shares of the APFA in the base and prospective periods, their productivity for five-year plans in the future, a comparison of the need for domestic investment by the state and the investment investments of large associations in the optimal mode of their recovery are presented. Conclusions – the ratio of active and passive parts is of great interest, since the capital productivity, capital profitability and financial condition of enterprises largely depend on their optimal combination. When analyzing the qualitative state of the active part of fixed assets, the completeness and timeliness of scheduled preventive repairs, their compliance with technical characteristics and operating conditions are checked.

The article describes the current state of dairy cattle breeding in the Akmola region. The specifics of functioning of the regional market of dairy products are considered. The total volume of demand for milk and products of its processing was determined, calculated taking into account the recommended consumption rates, separately for the urban and rural population. The goal is to study the current situation in the retail chains of the region with dairy products and the prospects for expanding their range. Methods – economic-statistical, balance, abstract-logical for summarizing industry information from open access sources and scientific literature. Results – the authors note that the development of the dairy subcomplex is accompanied by a steady increase in the volume of dairy production, this was facilitated by an increase in productivity of cows in agricultural enterprises, and in households and peasant (farm) farms an increase in the number of animals. A high share of the small-scale commodity sector has been established. Conclusions – the predominance in the structure of the dairy industry of personal subsidiary farms (PSF), which are characterized by low milk yield, quality and marketability of raw milk, causes a shortage of raw materials. Combining them into agricultural cooperatives will make it possible to fully realize their potential, therefore, ensure the workload of milk processing enterprises, expand the food sales market, stimulate the transformation of household plots into larger commodity structures and increase the incomes of the villagers. It is necessary to improve the legislative framework for the use of budget funds for public procurement, primarily from domestic producers at guaranteed prices, to develop recommendations for regulating imports and exports of products for effective price competition through customs and tariff policy.

Poultry products are popular on all continents. In addition to economic factors (the cheapest), poultry meat is healthy, nutritious, safe and the most affordable among other meat products. The goal is to develop priority areas for the poultry meat market in the context of ensuring the country's food security based on an analysis of the main trends in its development. The objects of research are the economic processes of the world production of poultry meat products. The following methods were used – abstract-logical, comparative analysis, economic-statistical. Results – the current situation in this sub-complex of the republic and in the world is analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the features of the commodity-geographical structure of the industry. The experience of international trade, pricing factors were studied. The composition and structure of imports and exports are outlined, criteria are identified that restrain the growth of volumes of this type of domestic meat products, as well as exports; proposals were made to expand the range of goods. The authors state the need to modernize production facilities. The importance of state support based on concessional lending is shown. Problems have been identified that require exemption from taxation of enterprises in this area, financial assistance in food certification, attracting investors to scientific research, equipping with the latest equipment, and improving technologies for obtaining environmentally friendly organic products. It is noted that the development of the poultry meat market is economically beneficial and there are significant potential opportunities for its expansion in Kazakhstan. Conclusions – it is substantiated that in a developing economic environment it is important that enterprises remain competitive. Manufacturers are now realizing the benefits of participating in the global economy. To this end, it is necessary to improve the regulatory framework and ensure that Kazakh products comply with international standards. Quality raw materials need to be available to manufacturers of poultry meat products. To do this, it is necessary to grow the required livestock through the development of the domestic base of selection and genetic centers, which will expand the range of food on the consumer market.

The goal is to determine the place and role of "land" in achieving the goals of the new economic policy and finding solutions to improve the efficiency of its use. Methods – monographic, analytical, statistical, abstract-logical. Results – it is noted that in the republic a course has been taken for radical transformations, in which land resources play an important role. Systemic problems hindering the development of the country's economy have been identified. An analysis was made of the areas leased to foreigners, as well as foreign trade turnover for 2022. The main tasks and directions of their implementation for the purpose of effective land use are outlined. The foreign experience of taxation of agricultural land is studied as the basis for the development of a new methodology for calculating land tax for ACP. It is recommended to identify unused or not used land plots for their intended purpose in order to involve them in agricultural circulation; to promote the expansion of advisory assistance to agricultural producers when filling out the automated land cadastre system, to establish a logistics system for agricultural products in order to prevent artificial price increases by intermediaries; provide state support in the allocation of subsidies on a differentiated basis. Conclusions – it is shown that the state focuses on land resources, the correct exploitation of which will strengthen and stabilize the economy of Kazakhstan. These principles were laid down earlier, but have not yet been sufficiently regulated. Their full implementation requires new approaches and methods that contribute to the effective use of agricultural land, the productivity of which can systemize a number of specific problems: an increase in pasture areas, hayfields and increase in agricultural production in general. It is necessary to increase the transparency of pricing mechanisms.

Purpose – rational approaches to the use of land resources and regulation of landproperty relations of land categories of rural settlements (RS) are considered. Methods – monographic, analytical, statistical and abstract-logical. Results – the paper shows the problems of land use in the RS on the example of the regions of Kazakhstan and a number of rural districts. Problems of rural territorial units that need to be solved are identified. An assessment of the current regulatory and legislative framework regulating the rights of land users whose land is jointly owned is given, as well as the prospects for organizational and economic development. Options are proposed for a more complete and objective monitoring of the available territorial reserves of populated areas using improved methods for calculating the cadastral and market value of agricultural land. In turn, the economy of sustainable territories depends on how efficiently the land use of sites is organized. One of the most important aspects of the regional policy regarding the expenditure of land resources is the issue of increasing the effectiveness of their operation. Conclusions – the results of the research can be directed to the development of territorial planning schemes for the rational use of land in rural settlements and applied in practical land management activities, in particular, to provide information to the population with databases in the context of regions, districts and rural districts on the available land areas of rural settlements and management of land and property relations during their digitalization, as well as in electronic format for the introduction of a map of the land area of individual housing construction, personal subsidiary plots, etc. Attention should be paid to the quantitative reduction in agricultural land caused by rejection for industrial and urban planning needs.

Among many factors of sustainability of agricultural production, a special place is given to the cooperation of agricultural enterprises. The goal is to substantiate the need and prospects for the creation of cooperatives for the joint use of agricultural machinery, irrigation and drainage systems, the development of principles for regulating intra-economic relations between their members in the south of the republic, and the determination of the prerequisites for the development of cooperative structures. Methods – monographic, calculation-constructive, analytical, economic-statistical, social survey of agricultural producers who participated in the training seminars PMID-2. Results – analysis of the status of pilot projects of agricultural cooperatives of the Maktaaral and Shardara districts of the Turkestan region was carried out, on the basis of which promising directions for their improvement, organizational and economic conditions for the creation of a cooperative machine-technological station (MTS) were identified in order to organize the collective operation of agricultural machinery; building economic ties between members and the cooperative association; The demand for expanding the scope of the model of cooperation for the collective use by agricultural producers of irrigation and drainage mechanisms for irrigated areas in compliance with the hydraulic principle is shown, which will help increase land fertility, crop yields, and, accordingly, the efficient use of land, water and other resources. Conclusions – the results of the study on the implementation of the PMID-2 project, measures to provide cooperating entities with agricultural machines as part of the implementation of the Pilot Project of the Zhambyl region and scaling it in other regions of Kazakhstan confirm the expediency of continuing the process of cooperating small farms, improving the material and technical base of agricultural producers, providing measures of state support for the purchase of equipment through concessional lending and rational use, as well as irrigation and drainage systems by employees of an agricultural cooperative.

In a market economy, tough competition, the urgent task is to ensure the effective functioning of the agro-industrial business, which creates a social and economic basis that allows to maintain a rural lifestyle, develop rural areas, responding flexibly and in a timely manner to changing supply and demand conditions. The goal is to study the current state of entrepreneurship in the agro-industrial complex of the Almaty region, the pace of development and the effectiveness of support measures. Methods – economic-statistical, monographic, abstract-logical, comparative analysis and synthesis. Results – analyzed the number of operating small and medium-sized agribusiness entities in this region over the past 5 years, the number of employees employed in this area, the gross agricultural output in the country, as well as in the context of districts. An analysis was made of the share of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in agricultural production in general in Kazakhstan and the Almaty region, in particular. The main problems and ways to solve them are outlined. The indicators of objects of entrepreneurial activity, the volume of output of goods in agricultural sector and their structure in the region according to statistical data for 2018-2022 are presented. Shows the amount of state financial assistance at the regional level in recent years. Conclusions – on the GDP of agricultural sector over a five-year period, on average, SME accounts for 28.5%, individual entrepreneurs 5.3%, PPF 66.2%. The issues of irrational use of agricultural land, expansion of irrigated areas, regulatory support for the effective use of allocated public funds, insufficient institutional support for rural entrepreneurs are considered.
