Abstract: The article discusses the issues of attracting private investors to rural areas based on foreign experience. There are four types of projects implemented in Central America and Southeast Asia: partnerships aimed at developing value chains in agriculture, partnerships for joint agricultural research, innovation and technology transfer, partnerships for the creation and modernization of market infrastructure, partnerships for the creation and modernization of market infrastructure. The authors focus on public-private partnership projects aimed at developing value chains, since this type of contract is the most preferable from the point of view of both rural development and from the point of view of ensuring the country's food security, which corresponds to the "National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation". At the same time, the role of public partners, private partners and farmers' organizations in the implementation of public-private partnership projects for the development of rural areas is highlighted. Various types of problems and limitations in the implementation of public-private partnership projects are also analyzed, including: problems of the regulatory environment, including the underdevelopment of the risk insurance institute; technical and operational problems; financial problems, as well as limited financing and rising costs. It was found that value chain partnerships face two major financial challenges: the inability to achieve a return on investment in the short and medium term and difficulties in maintaining activities that require investment after the partnership period.
