Abstract: The article discusses the problems of strategic management of the agricultural sector of Russia. In this regard, the approaches of the scientific community to characterizing the essence of the category "strategic management" as long-term action programs are presented. It has been shown that in the development of the agricultural economy, it has different directions of impact, due to a change in the economic basis and the differentiation of the productive (rental) opportunities of agricultural production of regions, which have been aggravated by despecialization and disintegration in market conditions. This situation is derived from non-adaptive agrarian macroeconomic policies, which, without taking into account the peculiarities of agrarian reproduction, have allowed intersectoral economic relations into free market navigation. In other words, the imperfection of the market, the fetishization of private, especially land ownership with the purchase and sale and the birthmarks of feudalism, alienating it from land use are results as well as the absolutization of the importance of large forms of agrarian production. In the latter, together with the processing and resource-providing industry, that is, in all three subsystems of the agro-industrial complex, foreign capital plays a large role, which carries social, economic, environmental and epidemic risks when systemically important enterprises are eliminated on the ground. The article substantiates the need for the scientific community and the macroeconomic leadership to develop a new scientifically based paradigm for strategic management of agricultural production, which comes from the modern development of productive forces, which are close to the framework of agrarian and unregulated market relations. In this regard, the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia recommends the transition to a model of integrated innovation management based on a problem-functional approach.
