Abstract: The study revealed an insufficient provision of highly qualified personnel in the Russian agro-industrial complex, the complication of agricultural production due to digital transformation and the introduction of innovations. Foreign experience shows the effectiveness of supporting agricultural producers through agricultural consulting. In Russia, there are various organizational structures that provide consulting services in the agro-industrial complex, both at the regional and district levels. Different structures have both advantages and disadvantages. Over the past five years, financing of consulting organizations has grown due to an increase in the volume from the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as extra-budgetary sources. In foreign countries, there are various formations for the provision of agricultural advisory services. The authors have systematized consulting services in agriculture of foreign countries according to the main institutions and sources of funding. Suggestions are given on the use of foreign experience in agricultural consulting in Russia.
