Abstract

Agriculture plays a crucial role in the development of the agrarian economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, influencing the economic, social and environmental spheres. The industry ensures food security, promotes the development of social entrepreneurship, helps improve living conditions in rural areas by providing jobs, developing education and healthcare for rural populations, and builds the country's export potential. At the same time, agriculture faces a number of problems related to low productivity, dependence on imports, instability of the small-scale sector and the need to introduce innovative technologies. In the context of government support and the implementation of programs for the development of the agro-industrial complex, the search for effective ways to increase the competitiveness and sustainability of the industry is of particular importance. The purpose of the study is a comprehensive analysis of the current state of agriculture in Kostanay region, identification of key problems and identification of development prospects. The paper uses economic and statistical research methods based on a systematic approach, which made it possible to systematize the main trends in the industry. The authors conclude that the vector of future development is determined by the need to modernize the industry through digitalization, innovation, comprehensive government support for farms, cooperation, the development of the feed base and breeding work, the expansion of processing and exports.
