Abstract: Political and economic pressure on Belarus and Russia from Western countries have led to the need to consider the state and level of interaction agricultural sectors of the EAEU member countries. Another reason of research is the slowdown in the pace of integration processes in the Eurasian Economic Union recently due to changing political conditions and changing national priorities of countries in foreign policy. Agriculture, due to natural and historical factors, is the most significant sector in production and trade terms for integration states. The article examines the agricultural spheres of the EAEU member countries: their current state and the level of trade interaction in agriculture in the context of integration processes. The provisions in national regulatory legal acts concerning the integration of the EAEU are considered. The analysis of government support, investment attractiveness and the role of agriculture in the economy of each country was carried out. The ratio of sub-sectors of the agricultural sector of the states is shown. Mutual trade in agricultural products and food, changes in export-import operations relative to 2015 indicators are analyzed. The complementarity of the EAEU member countries, self-sufficiency, and dependence on imports of a few agricultural products are considered. Recommendations are offered for the development of a coordinated agro-industrial policy of the EAEU in key areas.
