Abstract: The article discusses the state and ways of development of agriculture in Pridnestrovie. The lag in the scientific development of methodological and applied aspects of its reform was noted. The analysis of the state of the sectoral structure of agriculture in the PMR, the reform of rural ownership was carried out. Special attention is paid to organizational changes. A low level of land renter’s competence in farming production organization issues, financial management and also insufficient methodical and financial government’s support makes negative impact on effective land using, on activity in important industry generally. This leads to a degradation of socio-economic development rural regions, of republic in general, their food safety. The author proposes to strengthen the state role in the transformation of agriculture and the organization of economic entities on the basis of public-private partnership. In rent contracts the government’s goals have to be amplified while using a land under rent and also the tenant’s responsibility has to be amplified too. The leading role of the state in economic structures, which is guaranteed by the ownership of land, will allow to develop a strategically adjusted sectoral structure of agriculture in the interests of the state as a whole, its food security and individual business. The article also recommends the expansion of the technological chain of use of agricultural raw materials through their deep processing, the production of food items for the population, forage for livestock production, the departure from the role of a raw material donor, and thus the reduction of the dependence of the state on imports. Taking into account the agrarian orientation of the economy of the republic, the proposed measures will contribute to the preservation and effective use of the most important land, labour resources for it, as well as social and economic development and food safety in general.
