Abstract: The article discusses the main results of the development of soybean production in the Amur region for the period from 2010 to 2021 in the context of agro-climatic southern, central and server zones. As of 2021, the gross soybean harvest amounted to 1138.6 thousand tons, including 58.2% of enterprises in the southern zone, 40.2% in the central zone, and 1.6% in the northern zone. The sown area of soybeans for the analyzed period from 2010 to 2021 increased by 50.8% and amounted to 769.3 thousand hectares as of 2021. Based on the calculated index of technological efficiency of soybean production in the Amur region for the period from 2010 to 2021, a rating assessment of municipalities in the context of agro-climatic zones of the region was carried out. In order to assess the growth potential of technological efficiency of crop production, the author's methodology is proposed, based on the use of the technological efficiency index and allowing to gradually determine the growth potential of the index of technological efficiency of crop production, yield growth and gross harvest of agricultural crops. The approbation of the proposed methodology in the assessment of soybean production in the Amur region made it possible to identify the growth potential of technological efficiency of municipalities in the context of agro-climatic zones of the region. In particular, it was revealed that the implementation of measures aimed at ensuring the identified potential for yield growth in the context of agro-climatic zones will eventually allow for an increase in the gross soybean harvest in the region in the amount of 193.24 thousand tons.
