Abstract: The article examines the issue of ensuring the interregional competitiveness of human capital in the agricultural sector by level of wages based on data from the regions of the Siberian Federal District. It is shown that the level of wages is an important factor determining the attractiveness of work in the agricultural sector, especially for young professionals. An assessment is made of the ratio of the average wage for economic activity "Agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing and fish farming" to the average wage in the region for the regions of the Siberian Federal District. The calculation of the competitiveness index by labor price in general and for the activity "Agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing and fish farming" for the regions of the Siberian Federal District is carried out. It was found that for all the analyzed regions, there was an increase in the ratio of wages of workers by economic activity "Agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing and fish farming" to the average for the region. Despite the growth, wages in the agricultural sector remained below the regional average. According to the competitiveness index for labor prices by type of economic activity "Agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing, and fish farming", significant differentiation is noted among the regions of the Siberian Federal District. The gap from the leading region for half of them is more than 40% at the end of the period, while for the rest it is more than 20%.
