Abstract: In recent years, there have been some positive changes in the country's agriculture in terms of its structural and technological modernization. This is facilitated by a structured system of state support for priority areas of development of each particular region. At the same time, the nature and pace of ongoing changes vary markedly from region to region. This is influenced by the investment policy of a particular subject of Russia, the state of rural development, the level of state support, and the role of agricultural organizations in the agricultural structure of the region. In this regard, it is necessary to analyze the nature of the changes in the context of the country's subjects, primarily for agricultural organizations, the state of which directly affects the situation in the industry as a whole. It is necessary to study the share of the rural population in the total number and the economic behaviour of agricultural organizations. It is revealed that among the regions that demonstrate high rates of economic growth in agriculture, the subjects included in the Central Federal district, which are characterized by noticeable investment activity, are overwhelmingly represented. To a large extent, the increased investment activity in these regions is due to systematic efforts to attract private capital for the implementation of major projects. At the same time, regions with a predominance of rural population and low-commodity forms in the structure of the agricultural economy are unable to compete with the above-mentioned subjects in terms of investment activity, which contributes to the growth of deformational manifestations in the socio-economic development of agriculture. In this regard, and in order to reduce this gap, it seems appropriate to develop measures of state incentives for structural and technological modernization of the agro-industrial complex individually for groups of regions.
