This article is devoted to the analysis of the effectiveness of the implementation of state agricultural programs, national and priority regional projects to support peasant (farm) farms and rural areas in Sverdlovsk region. Materials and methods: tools and methods of financial assistance, including grants, for peasant (farm) farms in the Sverdlovsk region are analyzed. These mechanisms are used in the implementation of state programs for the development of the agro-industrial complex at the Federal and regional levels. The identified problems of agricultural development allow us not only to formulate recommendations for improving the mechanisms for implementing measures to support farmers, but also to pay attention to aspects that are not taken into account by state programs. The authors relied on statistical, structural, analytical, system, logical, and correlation analysis. The normative legal basis of the study was chosen by the normative legal acts of Russian Federation and Sverdlovsk region, including state programs, national and priority regional projects implemented in the field of agriculture, and official materials of state statistics. Results: the effectiveness of the main instruments of state support for farmers in the region is evaluated, recommendations for improving the mechanisms of support for farmers in Sverdlovsk region are developed, and directions for the development of rural cooperation are proposed. Discussion: the article presents a socio-economic analysis of the support and development of peasant (farm) farms by the state government authorities of Sverdlovsk region. The authors pay special attention to the fact that during the implementation of state programs and projects, certain aspects are not taken into account when evaluating applications for state funding, which were identified by researchers in Estonia and Latvia. Conclusion: it is necessary to regularly assess the effectiveness and then correlate the tools used to support peasant (farm) farms. In order to increase efficiency, it is necessary to apply correlation analysis of statistical data to public authorities and conduct sociological research (in the future).

The article presents the theoretical, methodological and empirical aspects of improving the training of personnel for agriculture on the example of digital agriculture in the Sverdlovsk region. A review of scientific sources on the studied issues is carried out. The basis of empirical research is the analysis of statistical data on the state of agriculture in Russia, as well as the analysis of statistical indicators of official reports of the agro-industrial complex and the consumer market of the Sverdlovsk region (2014-2019). The work uses data from independent Russian and foreign consulting and research institutions. In this article, the author solves the main problems in the field of agriculture.

There are some theoretically-methodological aspects of food security institute and functioning of the goods market of agro-industrial complex in article. It is shown that the concept "food security" is considered by modern domestic agroeconomists from different attitudes. At the same time characteristics of the institutional analysis didn't receive worthy reflection. In this regard, authors made a contribution to interpretation of the concept "food security" within the system of institutional knowledge. There are shown institutional bases of ensuring food security on the basis of the approved techniques of matrix vector modeling and cost flows synchronization. Authors made evaluation of food security institute development and the market of agroindustrial complex of such countries as Belarus, Brazil, Germany, India, China, Russia, Poland and the United States of America on the basis of official statistical data for 2005-2015. There are provided strengths (production and economic characteristics) of regions in the sphere of agroindustrial complex. There was made a group of regions on progressive and regressive, with allocation of the regions which are at a transitional stage of market development of agroindustrial complex – on the system of the standardized indicators. On the basis of estimative and analytical procedures are offered the directions of institutional designing of food security and functioning of the market of agroindustrial complex. There is formulated a number of recommendations of increasing the efficiency of Russia food security institute, including: 1) to use the system of vertical or horizontal integration of the entities of agro-industrial complex more active; 2) to modernize the entities of agroindustrial complex taking into account specialized, but not universal requirements of institutional designing; 3) to make active policy of rational import substitution in agroindustrial complex. The conclusion is drawn that institutional designing of "multispeed" cost flows is substantially determined by researches on development of the standard rates providing overcoming negative market events. Achievement of the set proportions will allow institutional units to receive preferences in the field of the taxation and providing with credit resources for the development. These directions are seems priority to authors and determine the agenda for the subsequent researches

The article is devoted to the problems of formation of favorable competitive environment in the domestic seed market, reducing the dependence of the domestic market on foreign breeding and genetic materials. The aim of the study is to substantiate new requirements for anti-monopoly regulation of intellectual property in agricultural markets to level out risks to competition. Theoretical basis of the study consists of the publications of modern domestic and foreign scientists on the assessment of risks of restricting access to innovative products and technologies for potential competitors, the development of competition at different levels of the food supply chain. The processes of companies' consolidation at the world seed market and control of the market by the players with intellectual property rights to biotechnologies were reflected. The expediency of development of antitrust regulation in the sphere of intellectual property in the domestic seed market through technological transfer of innovative material to Russian companies is shown. Theoretical significance of the conducted study consists in development of some approaches to anti-monopoly regulation in the sphere of intellectual property in the domestic seed market. The practical significance of the study lies in improving the management of innovation process in the agricultural sector.

The authors analyze the main factors influencing the development of the competitiveness of enterprises at the regional level. Taking into account the peculiarities of regional policy, geographical factors, logistics systems and other conditions, this system of factors will change, influencing the support measures necessary for the development of agriculture at the regional level. The authors systematized the factors and obstacles that have a positive and negative impact on agricultural enterprises. The analysis of internal factors influencing the competitiveness and development of the enterprise in the regional and state market is also given. The proposed systematization is universal, and the set of factors correlates with regional features. The authors note that the presented set of factors can be transformed with the development of technologies and force majeure circumstances that do not depend on the actions of enterprises and public authority.

Purpose: the article provides a comprehensive analysis of the use of grants for peasant / farm enterprises by the state authorities of the region (subject of the Russian Federation) in order to create and develop a private agricultural and agro-industrial sector. The system approach is used as the main methodological base, statistical and correlation analysis is applied. Analyzing the current legislation at the level of the Russian Federation and the Sverdlovsk region, using statistical data and reporting documents as evidence, the authors verify the results of their research, as well as the reporting documents of authorities. As the main element of scientific novelty, the main administrative and financial problems that hinder the development of peasant / farm farms in the region are identified, which gives a practical result - the definition of the main directions of state policy reform in the field of agriculture. Also, the atvors, conducting a correlation analysis, determined the degree of availability of grants for beginning farmers and developing private farms, determined the efficiency of distribution and return of budget funds aimed at the development of agriculture through grant support.
