Abstract: Small forms of farming in rural areas, as an indispensable element of the market economy, make a certain contribution to the overall production of agricultural products, which to some extent helps to save resources, creates the necessary environment for the development of competition, and provides employment for a significant part of the population. Other advantages of small businesses include: the ability to quickly adapt to changing economic conditions, mobility and flexibility in making management decisions, dynamism and purposefulness, perseverance, creativity, willingness to take risks and the ability to manage them. In addition, their activities contribute to solving social problems in rural areas, establishing sustainable development of rural territories, providing employment and supporting the income of the rural population. However, representatives of small businesses in modern conditions face a number of problems associated primarily with the influence of external factors: difficulties with the sale of products, insufficient state financial support, low level of information and consulting and personnel support, which cannot be solved independently. To improve the efficiency of small-scale business in the agro-industrial complex, the article proposes a set of measures and justifies priority areas for solving these problems. The authors also studied the main conditions for the development of small agricultural entrepreneurship in Russia. Considerable attention is paid to tools that contribute to the active development of small businesses in the agro-industrial complex. It is proved that the activation of agribusiness, including small businesses, depends not only on direct support, but also on the creation of favourable conditions, the development of agricultural consulting, insurance support, and a number of others.
