The planned and sustainable development of the agricultural industry is a fairly pressing issue, since ensuring the food security of the state, the development of rural areas, and providing the population with professions and specialties in demand in agriculture depend on the functioning of this sector of the economy. In Russia, the most important system-forming part of the agro-industrial complex is crop production, which has significant export opportunities, as well as high competitiveness. The work analyzes the development of the crop growing industry using the example of the Kurgan region, and determines the dynamics of sown areas, gross yields and yields of the main agricultural crops grown in the Trans-Urals. An analysis of the dynamics of providing state support funds to farmers in the region was carried out. It is noted that due to the annual increase in the total volumes of grain and leguminous crops harvested in Kurgan, the need for additional funding in this area increases. In 2022, 326.45 million rubles were allocated to the region to cover costs in the production and sale of grain crops. (more than 42% of the total amount of state support in crop production). In order to assess the degree of effectiveness of the use of state support funds by farmers of the Kurgan region, using the performance criterion, several groups of agricultural producers - recipients of subsidies in the field of crop production - have been identified. The article identifies other equally important areas of development and state regulation of the agro-industrial complex. The current presence of problems associated with the imperfect distribution of federal subsidies between the country's agricultural regions and the low degree of responsibility of regional and municipal authorities requires effective and modern approaches to solving them.
