Abstract: The article deals with theoretical, methodological, scientific and practical issues of assessing the balance of resource potential in relation to agricultural production. The analysis of the current state and dynamics of the resource potential of agricultural production showed the presence of imbalances associated with different levels of provision and use of basic resources. The quantitative reduction in certain types of resources was offset by an increase in their qualitative characteristics associated with the introduction of innovations, which contributes to an increase in the efficiency of the entire resource potential. The reasons that contributed to the formation of a disproportion in the resource potential of agricultural production were identified: different dynamics of the sectoral and production structures of the agro-industrial complex, a decrease in the absolute and relative indicators of the use of individual elements of the resource potential, non-compliance with the norms of resource use. On the example of land and material and technical resources, an assessment was made of the balance of the resource potential of agricultural production. As a methodological basis for calculating the balance of the resource potential, it is proposed to use the normative method. The standards for material and technical security were adjusted taking into account the dynamics of the influence of scientific and technological progress on the qualitative characteristics of the machines used, which made it possible to develop dynamic standards for the necessary availability of equipment per unit of land area. It is shown that for tractors and combine harvesters in 2015-2022 there is a stabilization of the specific values of their availability and an improvement in technical characteristics, which leads to a reduction in the gap between the actual and standard level of provision of agricultural production with the main types of equipment. Perspective changes in the resource proportions of agricultural production are presented, related to the innovative development of agricultural production, ensuring compliance between the resource potential and production needs to meet domestic and export demand for agricultural products, sustainability and environmental friendliness of agricultural production.
