Abstract: The analysis of the actual state of development of domestic beet farming in comparison with the countries that provided the highest productivity of this sub-sector is carried out. It has been established that in the regime of large-scale sanctions imposed on the Russian economy, the growth in productivity of domestic beet farming observed over the past 20 years may end due to the forced simplification of production technology with high dependence on Western material and technical resources, including seeds, protective equipment and equipment. It has been established that in 2018-2022 favorable economic conditions for the cultivation and sale of sugar beet have developed in the Krasnodar Territory. It is noted that in the regime of large-scale sanctions imposed on the Russian economy, the productivity growth of domestic beet farming may end due to the forced simplification of production technology, depending on Western material and technical resources. Alternative options for increasing the volume and efficiency of domestic sugar beet production in these conditions in Russia are considered. The technological features of the organization of irrigation of the crop in question are determined, taking into account its need for moisture during the most important periods of vegetation. The statistical dependence of sugar beet yield on the level of moisture availability in July and August was revealed. The existing production experience of irrigation of agricultural crops in the Krasnodar Territory, including sugar beet, is analyzed. The assessment of the capital intensity of the organization of irrigation systems on various areas of crops with the use of Russian-made equipment and components has been carried out. Indicators of the economic effect of sugar beet irrigation using drip irrigation or sprinkling systems have been calculated. An assessment of the expected economic efficiency and riskiness of investments in projects for the organization of such systems on various crop areas has been carried out, taking into account the possibility of producers receiving state subsidies for the purchase of domestic irrigation equipment. The results obtained are compared with the results of research in a similar subject area published in leading periodicals
