Abstract: The analysis reveals that the current regulatory system includes financial, price-based, and institutional mechanisms. The dynamics of 2021–2024 indicate that state support performs a stabilizing function. However, systemic problems have been identified: a high share of unprofitable farms (24.8% in 2024), profitability dependence on direct payments (profitability dependence ratio – 15.3%), and a critically low share of investment expenditures in the support structure (about 10% of the PSE level). A comparative analysis of the Russian model and those of other countries shows that the Russian model achieves tactical goals in terms of food affordability but weakly stimulates the growth of the sector's own efficiency. To improve the quality of public administration, a system of calculated indicators is proposed: the profitability dependence ratio, the share of investments in total support, and the relative level of support per unit of result. These indicators make it possible to assess the real economic return on state support measures. A set of proposals has been developed to enhance the effectiveness of state support, taking into account best international practices.
