State support as a factor of sustainable development of agriculture: World experience and national specifics

Abstract

The article examines the institutional problems and the results of state support for agriculture and its subjects operating in the EU, the USA and the Russian Federation. Its content indicates that in Western European states, the authorities are directing their efforts to primarily stimulate highly profitable agricultural organizations. Along with them, in the United States, the authorities provide priority support for capital-intensive farms that supply the bulk of food to the market. However, in our country, the state provides preferences, mainly for households that do not have free capital, and for novice farmers engaged in commodity production in an unfavorable natural and climatic environment.
