Abstract: The article assesses labor potential as one of the main elements in the system of increasing the investment attractiveness of agriculture in Russian regions. The development of investment potential in agriculture is of great importance, and labor resources play a key role in it. The quality of labor resources influences labor productivity, the efficiency of agricultural activities and ensuring technological sovereignty in the industry. Consequently, an important condition for economic development is to ensure a high level of labor potential. It is noted that in recent years the problem of shortage of qualified personnel in the agricultural sector has increased; the share of employees in 2021 who had higher education was 14.5%; the number of people employed in agriculture decreased by 30% compared to 2008.The analysis of the labor potential of the agricultural sector was carried out according to the following indicators: the share of people employed in agriculture in the total number of people employed in the economy, labor supply per 100 hectares of agricultural land, the ratio of the average wage per worker in agriculture and the average wage per worker in the region, as well as productivity labor. Based on the above indicators, the constituent entities of the Russian Federation were grouped, and the summarized integral indicator was calculated based on the operation of maximization and double standardization, taking into account the influence of each factor on the labor potential of the regions and characterizing the labor potential of agriculture in terms of its investment attractiveness. On this basis, to increase investment attractiveness and increase labor potential, it is necessary to take a number of the following measures: increasing wages and incentive payments to agricultural workers to a level that ensures expanded reproduction of the labor force; creation of decent economic and social living conditions in rural areas; increasing investment in human capital and rural infrastructure.
