Abstract: The purpose of this study is an assessment of the current situation in the field of managing the economic growth of agriculture in Russia using the developed methodology "Agrarian Growth Pyramid". The author substantiates the position that the achieved growth in agriculture does not correspond to the country's agricultural potential, it is ambiguous and cannot be fully recognized as economic. Taking into account the current trends in social development and the specifics of the industry, the study applied a new approach to the decomposition of the economic growth of agriculture as part of traditional quantitative and qualitative, and newly introduced generating changes in its state, which makes it possible to take into account all aspects of agricultural dynamics and increase the level of adequacy of its assessment. It is proposed to measure the economic growth of agriculture using a complex indicator visualized using a pyramid, which takes into account not only the parameters of the level and growth rate widely used in practice, but also the state of its base formed as a result of agricultural dynamics. The construction of pyramids and the assessment of the structure of economic growth in agriculture in Russia were carried out in a comparative format with the results achieved in the agricultural economies of the USA, Canada, Germany, and Kazakhstan in the period 2000-2020. The findings of the study indicate that there is a contradiction between the growth of agricultural production in Russia and the lack of the necessary conditions for reproduction in the industry; also there is a significant gap in the level and content of the economic growth of agriculture in Russia and developed countries with a similar agricultural potential; it has been detected the errors in the management of the processes of economic dynamics in the country's agriculture, which determines the main limitations of agricultural growth.
