Abstract: The article is devoted to the formation and improvement of measures of state support for agriculture in Russia. The sustainable development of agriculture, due to its specificity, is largely based on stimulating state regulation. The article provides the comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of both absolute indicators of the volume of state support (in the whole of the Russian Federation and in the regional context), and relative indicators, in particular, the dynamics of the volume of subsidies per 1 employed in agriculture, as well as the ratio of gross output and profits in agricultural organizations to the volume of subsidies received. Studies have shown that the volume of state support for the agricultural industry at current prices has been growing in recent years, however, the recalculation of the volume of financing for the industry in 2021 into comparable prices in 2013 showed that, in fact, the volume of financing has not increased. The analysis of the ratio of the volume of gross output and the balanced financial result in the agricultural sector to the volume of subsidies provided revealed that, on average, the output of gross output per 1 rub. budget subsidies amounted to about 47 rubles., and the profit received by 1 rub. subsidies - about 3 rubles. At the same time, only in one quarter of the subjects of the federation, these indicators were formed at a level above the national average. The authors noted that the volumes and directions of state support for the development of agriculture are constantly being reviewed and do not always correspond to the set national development goals of the country. At present, in the context of the aggravated geopolitical situation and sanctions pressure, agriculture needs a comprehensive balanced state support based on the formation of a stimulating institutional environment, while it is necessary to ensure the linkage of all the goals and objectives of the development of the country and the industry, as well as the compliance of financial support with the set goals. The Strategy for the development of the AIC until 2030 should be supplemented with the section on the economic mechanism for its implementation.
