Abstract: This article is devoted to the assessment of state financial support for small agricultural businesses of the Leningrad region. It has been established that in the dynamics of the annual fund of support provided by the small agricultural business of the region under the main subprogram of support for the small forms of management, a pendulum swing is observed, reaching 235.64 million rubles in 2021. The general fund of the area of support provided to the subjects of the small agribusiness, throughout the program "Development of Agriculture", has been growing since 2018, amounting to 457.489 million rubles at the end of 2021, although in real terms it has been declining since 2020. The share of the annual support fund for small agribusiness entities in the total annual support for agricultural producers in the region increased by 92,8% from 2015 to 2021, but still remains low (8,1% at the end of 2021). The most "popular" form of support for the region's small agribusiness is grant support. In the structure of grant support for farmers, over the analyzed period, the main share of payments falls on grants to family farms, against the background of a decrease in the number of those supported under this program. In general, the level of support for small business in agriculture in the Leningrad Region, both in terms of the amount of support and the number of supported, remains clearly insufficient for development in the field of farming and achieving the goals of sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas.
