Abstract: The article analyzes foreign experience in assessing the productivity of reclaimed agriculture, highlighting agronomic, economic, environmental and socio-economic assessment methods. The author's econometric model is also presented, in which key dependent variables that influence the dynamics of productivity of reclaimed agriculture are identified and justified. A distinctive feature of this approach is the inclusion among the dependent variables of a group of factors that take into account the presence of agricultural specialization in individual regions, as well as the quality of land reclamation work carried out. The article presents the author's approach to assessing the influence on the dynamics of productivity of reclaimed agriculture of various factors, taking into account the presence of agricultural specialization in individual regions, as well as the quality of the reclamation work carried out. The model developed by the author proves the following hypotheses: the provision of labor resources and technical means has a positive impact on productivity; in regions that use an integrated approach to land reclamation activities, there is a greater increase in productivity; productivity is heterogeneous; in regions with the best reclamation state of agricultural land, the greatest increase in productivity is observed. The result of the study was confirmation of the influence of many different factors on the productivity of reclaimed agriculture, including the availability and condition of production factors used directly during reclamation work (capital and labor resources). At the same time, taking into account only these factors when conducting an econometric study is incomplete and can lead to biased and unstable estimates. Thus, within the framework of this approach, it is proposed to include among the dependent variables a group of factors that take into account the presence of agricultural specialization in individual regions, as well as the quality of land reclamation work carried out.
