Abstract: The proposed article analyzes and summarizes the main works devoted to the study of the agrarian economy on the scale of one or more regions in foreign countries. The paper formulates the theoretical foundations for this area of research. Priority areas of research in developed countries within the framework of a given topic are: a comparative analysis of concentration at the national and regional levels, as well as issues of regional convergence. Despite the importance of analyzing trends in the development of rural areas in developed countries, the relevant literature contains practically no solutions for rural areas in developing countries, since it does not take into account a number of important factors related to the lack of financial resources of rural residents, underdevelopment of infrastructure and services. In developing countries, there is an uneven, rather strongly segmented economic development of the regions. The priority areas for research into regions in developing countries are the connection of rural areas with markets (considered on the example of Latin American countries), assessment of the level of integration of commodity markets (on the example of India), development of insurance and lending to manufacturers, analysis of factors for increasing labor productivity in rural areas. The study of factors in the development of transport and information infrastructure are also important areas of study of the agrarian economy of the region. The conclusions and suggestions made as a result of the generalization of foreign experience are substantiated.
