The issues of ensuring effective management of budgetary processes at local level and compliance with modern requirements are considered. The main requirement for local budgets is that every Tenge from the budget aimed at developing the funded entity should be justified by capital gains, improvements in the quality of productive resources or living conditions of the country's population. The article includes the analysis of interbudgetary relations based on the example of the economy of Kazakhstan. They include monetary relations between the authorities of different levels regarding the delimitation of the types of expenditures and revenues on continues basis which enter the country's budget system and distribution (redistribution) of funds between of different level budgets in terms of budgetary regulation. The authors propose to clearly allocate spending functions among the authority levels, consolidate their respective funding sources, and formulate a system for providing financial assistance to disadvantaged regions. Expenses of the city budget are carried out according to 19 programs. The authors state that in their structure the costs of agricultural activities, land relations have a constant dynamic of an unreasonably small share. The significance of the material is in the conclusions and recommendations contained therein, which can be practically used in carrying out the tasks of improving the effectiveness of local budget management.

The analysis of food availability for the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan has been presented. It is noted that food security - is a state of economy in which each consumer is guaranteed access to food in accordance with scientifically based dietary norms and creates conditions for the human potential development. It has been determined that consumption of food products in the republic does not fully correspond to the established rational per capita consumption norms. It is shown that economic accessibility of food is an important aspect of the country's food security. Its high level increases the ability of the State to guarantee the satisfaction of the population needs in food at a level that ensures normal livelihoods and purchase of food products by different groups of population at the normative amount on food market at current prices and incomes, as well as bypassing market channels, that is, from personal subsidiary plots and garden plots. The authors believe that a significant role is played by the provision of environmentally friendly and healthy food products of domestic production at scientifically based rates and affordable prices.

The migration processes in the republic have been studied, various aspects of the impact of migration on employment in agriculture have been identified, the principles of State policy in the field of population migration have been outlined, and the issues of regulatory and legal regulation of migration and employment of rural population have been considered. Internal migration is shown as the main direction of migration processes in Kazakhstan, which is characterized mainly by intensive resettlement of economically active population from rural areas and ecologically disadvantaged regions to the regions with a more favorable economic situation. The important features - migration transit and labor migration from the countries of Central Asia, as well as immigration related to the influx of ethnic Kazakhs, and emigration have been justified. The territorial concentration of production, capital and human resources in the highly urbanized zones of the republic, on which the policy of territorial and spatial development of the country is oriented, largely depends on migration processes. Migration is an effective tool for creating conditions for the growth of economic and business activity of economic entities, establishing common internal economic space that is harmoniously integrated with the world economy. To date, the demographic situation in the regions of Kazakhstan is heterogeneous and will continue to develop under the influence of the prevailing trends of natural reproduction and population migration.

The article examines the directions of the investment policy, taking into account the specifics of agricultural production and rationale for the development of potentially competitive products of agricultural sector, orientation towards domestic and world markets. At the same time, the system of distribution, redistribution and development of allocated State budget funds through lending system is problematic. The position of Kazakhstan in the international labor division in the AIC, the need to support it through measures of rational use of agricultural potential have been presented. The expediency for such approach is also evidenced by the fact that the large-scale international trade in food products, which the re- public tends to join, increases the dependence of the country's food supply on the world food markets. It is emphasized that food security can be ensured only through the consistent implementation of a set of interrelated and coordinated measures using the reserves of industries and enterprises of the agro-industrial complex aimed to improve the quality of life of the rural population.

The export potential of the flour-milling industry of Kazakhstan, the export of mill products: seasonality of the harvest, transport services, shortage of wagons, high cost of domestic tariffs for transportation of flour-milling products by railway, which is confirming the fact that Kazakhstani exporters cannot compete on foreign markets, and data on the exporters margins are minimizing this transaction. It is noted that marketing of mutual relations of participants of the flour market - is an important tool, since such factors such as reliability, integration, interrelation, cooperation and timely delivery, which should be at a high level, are considered. The experts of milling industry were interviewed for 10 years, with the help of secondary information processing was carried out using program R, based on quality analysis, a tonal model identifying factors that had a negative effect on exports was developed, i.e. existing obstacles to the development of export potential of milling industry, and recommendations on their elimination.
