Abstract: In recent years, the agro-food complex of Russia has seen an increase in the pace of development of science and technology, which requires improving the mechanisms of state policy for the distribution of budget funds. There is a positive impact of state support on dynamic shifts in the production of poultry and pork. At the same time, the results of the functioning of such industries as dairy and beef cattle breeding indicate an insufficiently high level of production, which requires adjusting the support mechanisms at the regional and municipal levels. The study showed that many regions lack the necessary conditions for expanded reproduction, which is confirmed by the low profitability of agricultural production, which requires improving the mechanisms of state support for agriculture. The authors' methodological approaches to calculating the optimal level of state support are based on the reproduction approach, which consists in creating conditions for break-even production of agricultural organizations, which will require additional funding. According to the authors' calculations, to ensure break-even production, it is necessary to additionally allocate 22,422 million rubles for the regions of the first group, 15,057 million rubles for the second group, 8,586 million rubles for the third group, and 3,430 million rubles for the fourth group. Proposals are made for further improving state support at the macro- and meso-level. Strategies for the development of dairy farming in groups of regions with different levels of production concentration are substantiated. In combination with other econometric methods, the proposed tools make it possible to carry out a predictive assessment of state support for agriculture and identify its priority areas at the regional level.
