Abstract: Innovative activities are the most important factor of increasing of competitiveness of agricultural industry and agrarian and industrial complex in general in the world agro food market. Today for the Russian Federation one of the priority directions of integration in the agrarian sphere is the interaction and the cooperation with the countries of BRICS in scientific-technical and technological area. The share of the countries of consolidation constitutes about 30‰ of the world territory; more than 43‰ of the population of the globe lives in these countries that allows speaking about potentially biggest market of the food. Performance improvement of work in agrarian sector of the countries of BRICS is very actual task, because without it, it is difficult to expect significant increase in efficiency of agrarian sector of economy. In the world the results of innovative activities in the country are estimated on a range of indicators (institutional quality, human capital, infrastructure, business environment, technological development, etc.) in the "Global Innovation Index". The BRICS countries, assessed in 2014 for this the system has shown high and relatively low levels in specific areas. The mutual cooperation and complementarities in science and innovation will contribute to a more complete realization of the potential of each of the countries of the Association. In 2015 the countries of BRICS have signed the Memorandum in the sphere of science, technologies and innovations and the Working plan of its implementation is developed. Coordination of activities in the main areas of cooperation will be performed on the basis of the Research and innovative network platform urged to promote promotion of research cooperation. Despite the outlined progress in development of scientific technological cooperation between the countries of BRICS, practical mechanisms of its implementation still are finally not developed, and rates of their development are insufficient now.
