Abstract: The place and role of agriculture in the development of national economy and the development tendencies in agriculture have been identified. The main challenging agricultural issues have been determined. The article considers the changes in the indicators of agriculture and the productivity of agricultural products processing in the mid-term perspective. To evaluate a number of factors influencing the agricultural productivity, a regression analysis has been carried out through a computer software and the productivity of agriculture, rated for 2004-2018, has been accepted as a dependent variable and the number of employees engaged in agriculture, specific weight of women in the general employment of agriculture, the amount of loans provided by commercial banks to the agricultural sector and the output index (volume index) of agricultural products have been taken as an independent variable. Based on the results of the abovementioned analyses, the primary approaches and directions of using agricultural land resources and those of increasing labour productivity are recommended.
