Abstract: agricultural sector is faced with serious tasks to significantly increase production, and the current forms and instruments of state support for the industry allow it to provide only an inertial development scenario. The analysis showed that despite the negative situation associated with external and internal factors, in 2023 almost all the main indicators of the State Program were met: there was a strengthening of the country’s food security and the development of import substitution. However, a significant negative trend is a decrease in the average number of workers in agriculture, a decrease in the level of profitability, low investment activity and an increase in the share of unprofitable and low-profit agricultural organizations. The article notes that the main task of state support for the industry is to create a motivation system in which every economic entity benefits and, in general, the efficiency of the entire industry increases. The author reveals the institutional basis for the formation of state support in the agricultural sector of the economy. An analysis of the areas of subsidies is carried out, their assessment is given, and it is emphasized that due to changes in business conditions, the main mechanisms of state support in 2024 have undergone a significant transformation. The article emphasizes the need to develop new approaches and forms of state support for the agro-industrial complex that can ensure dynamic and sustainable growth based on increased competitiveness and efficiency. It is noted that it is now extremely important to update the main goals, objectives and mechanisms for implementing the State Program; it is also necessary to update the Strategy for the Development of the Agro-Industrial Complex for the period until 2030.
