Abstract

The problems of agricultural production management, the prospects for its development in a crisis (the resource one and pandemic), creation of necessary conditions for the effective activity of commodity producers are considered. The results of the main trade relations for the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2015-2019 and the priorities of the state internal agricultural policy are analyzed within the framework of the geostrategic goals of developing the market for agricultural products, raw materials and food, as well as creating favorable conditions for the activity of an agricultural producer. Basing on the analysis, the main reasons for the existing production problems in the agro-industrial complex of the republic were revealed: production technical and technological ones, underdeveloped production infrastructure, segmental approach to financing agricultural producers and their associations in the absence of comprehensive measures for the development of the agro-industrial sector, low prestige of labor in agriculture, insufficient investment attractiveness and the significant influence of external factors on the production efficiency. The article provides statistical data showing trends in foreign trade in the context of the main types of agricultural products and partner countries. The role of the Chinese agri-food market on the development of Kazakh agricultural production and the consumer market is shown. The role of the One Belt and One Road initiative in the formation of commodity flows, including transit of goods and the economic effect of developing other fields. The features of agricultural production in the crisis are highlighted, which allow the use of digital tools and other economic measures to activate processes in the agricultural sector. The need for active application of republican sustainable development goals that contribute to solving the problems of hunger, poverty and caring for future generations is indicated.
