Abstract: The primary focus lies on systematizing and contrasting key directions of agricultural policy, sources and volumes of funding, priority recipients of state support, as well as the organizational and institutional structures responsible for policy implementation. Mechanisms of targeted producer support, the specifics of developing traditional forms of farming (with emphasis on nomadic pastoralism in Mongolia), subsidy and credit programs, and project-oriented policy instruments (in the FEFD – programs such as the "Far Eastern Hectare," Territories of Advanced Development (TAD), "Agro-startup") are examined in detail. Particular emphasis is placed on assessing the role of international donor organizations in Mongolia and the effectiveness of regional coordination in both cases. The conducted analysis revealed a divergence of models: Mongolia, despite its limited resource base, demonstrates a high degree of targeting and adaptability of policy interventions to the specifics of the nomadic way of life. At the same time, Russia's FEFD possesses substantial financial potential; however, it faces institutional constraints, fragmentation of support measures, and pronounced regional differentiation in their implementation. Based on the identified indicators, the potential for relevant borrowing of specific elements of Mongolian experience into Russian agricultural practice is justified, particularly in the spheres of sustainable pastureland management, support for small-scale farming, and ensuring human resource sustainability in rural areas. The conclusion is drawn regarding the high significance of developing cross-border dialogue and institutionalized exchange of proven practices for achieving sustainable rural development goals in both states.
