Abstract: Statistics show that the mobilization of domestic resources for import substitution contributed to positive dynamics-Russian agriculture has reached a new level of sustainability and has a significant potential for integration into the world agri-food system. Qualitative changes are taking place in the domestic agro-industrial complex, but all the problems accumulated over many years have not been solved. The consequence of inefficient labour organization is a lag in productivity, profitability and quality. In the modernization of agricultural production, the main emphasis should be placed on the introduction of digital innovative technologies, with a focus on resource conservation, which would lead to savings in both material and labour resources, while ensuring intensive development. This requires a transition to the development of the principles of lean production in the agricultural sector. This will require the transformation of both external-export policy, state support, and internal factors of development of the industry, which are no less important. This is due to the specifics of agricultural production and technological losses of products at different stages. It is necessary to rethink the entire system of production, processing and sales of products to minimize or eliminate all types of losses. And this requires scientific study of the concept, methods, tools and mechanism of transition to lean production. The implementation of the principles of lean organization of production in agriculture will allow obtaining competitive products in quality and price, in demand from the point of view of self-sufficiency, and corresponding to the strategic prospects of earning on agricultural exports.
