Abstract: Agriculture, participating in solving food security issues and fulfilling important strategic tasks, should be provided with a material and technical base and have the ability to reproduce and modernize it. The agricultural machinery market is in dire need of import substitution. Due to economic sanctions and the termination of trade relations, major global manufacturers of agricultural machinery with established supply chains, dealer networks, logistics centers and production sites that produce equipment under the brand «Made in Russia» have left the Russian market. Agricultural production, which is strategic for the country, should not experience a shortage in technology, since the agricultural sector of the economy is the foundation for ensuring the food security of the state. Nevertheless, its shortage caused an increase in prices, regardless of the country of origin. The assessment of the development of the agricultural machinery market showed a reduction in purchases by organizations of the agricultural sector of the economy. There has been an increase in the depreciation of the agricultural machinery fleet in use, since significantly fewer units of equipment are bought than are written off due to physical wear and tear. This causes an increase in the acreage per unit of tractor, combine harvester, seeder. The price unavailability of equipment leads to its lack in agar production. In order to solve this problem, it is proposed to take into account a number of factors affecting the supply and demand of agricultural machinery, such as the withdrawal of major foreign suppliers from the market, the disparity in prices for agricultural products and machinery, and the extensive nature of national mechanical engineering. To implement the process of import substitution in the agricultural machinery industry, its staging is proposed, which contains a set of measures aimed at supporting domestic innovative production and stimulating demand from agricultural producers.
