Abstract: The use of an integrated approach to studying the development of the sugar beet product subcomplex is based on the author's hypothesis, according to which scientifically based rational construction of a system of interaction between the main participants interested in improving the industry will improve the efficiency of production and economic activities of seed centers and factories for processing and storing sugar beet seeds, farmers and sugar factories. The identified development areas are based on the activities of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Agriculture for 2017–2030, promising innovative technologies in the field of selection, seed production, plant protection, mechanization (robotics), storage and processing of products, and include the development of interregional cooperation between key entities in the field of creation (promotion) of innovations and agricultural producers, as well as a system of goals for assessing the results of development. The methodology for assessing the development of sugar beet production involves finding the indicators of the period of the beginning of the introduction of innovative technologies from the best values in the region (from the average for 10 years, three years) or forecast valuesadjusted for changes in costs. The final forecast indicators take into account the expected impact of innovative technologies on the achieved results of stable sugar beet-growing organizations and the potential capabilities of farms with experience in cultivating the crop. The proposed methodology was tested on statistical materials characterizing the economy of sugar beet growing industries of Saratov Region organizations. The study was conducted on a group of indicators: sown area, average yield, quality of commercial products, average unit price, profitability level, output per tractor driver, share of earnings from sugar beet in the salary of tractor drivers. The practical significance of the work lies in the use of the obtained results for further improvement of the mechanism for development of domestic sugar beet growing.
