Abstract: This article explores the process of achieving technological leadership in the country's agricultural sector through domestic scientific solutions. This approach enables rational forecasting of development prospects for agricultural subsectors, taking into account market demands, and, consequently, the efficient allocation of financial resources in accordance with strategic priorities. Technological dominance in the agricultural sector is closely linked to expenditures on agricultural science, primarily R&D. The article examines the implementation of state programs for the development of the agro-industrial complex to overcome current shortages in the means of production. The key components of technological leadership in the domestic agro-industrial complex are revealed. The role of investment in the development of domestic scientific solutions and the industrialization of industrial production, aimed at producing high-tech products, is demonstrated. The main problems in scientific and technological support for the agricultural sector, including those associated with violations of the law of vertical integration, are revealed. The paper proposes key areas for adjusting the country's agricultural policy, focusing on personnel training, industrialization of industrial production, and the improvement of spatial policy aimed at a high level of consolidation of interregional and interdepartmental ties. Potential priorities for technological leadership in the Russian agro-industrial complex are developed based on domestic scientific solutions in areas such as plant breeding and seed production, biotechnology, providing agricultural producers with the necessary agricultural machinery, food and processing industries, and personnel training.
