Abstract: The current pricing situation in agriculture is unbalanced and requires optimization through the use of effective state regulation tools. The main causes of price imbalances include the consequences of price liberalization during the development of a market economy, sector-specific characteristics of agricultural activities related to natural, climatic, and biological patterns, imbalances between supply and demand in the agricultural market due to seasonal production, macroeconomic instability, and geopolitical constraints. This paper substantiates the relevance of state regulation of pricing and proposes an index system of justified prices, including compensatory, incentive, and developmental elements, allowing for the assessment of the need for a price subsidy. A proprietary approach to using price subsidies to improve the mechanism of state regulation of agricultural pricing is developed. This approach includes accounting, analytical, organizational, and administrative regulations that allow for the justification of the need and volume of state funding, as well as the systematization of the funding allocation process. The core element of the author's concept for improving the mechanism of state regulation of pricing is the justified price, which represents the value of the selling price of products that ensures the break-even point of agricultural production and the achievement of an optimal rate of return, facilitating the formation of financial conditions for the expansion of investment activity. The approach proposed in this paper is distinguished by its scientific novelty, consisting of the development of a price subsidy instrument based on the use of a justified price as a regulator of funding volumes and incorporating accounting, analytical, organizational, and administrative regulations that ensure the increased effectiveness of state regulation.
