The urgency of the topic is due to the fact that agriculture occupies a special place in ensuring the development of rural areas, along with such types of economic activity in the countryside as industry, commerce, tourism and many others. This industry produces products to meet the needs of society and plays an important role in ensuring the infrastructural development of rural areas. The purpose of the article is to investigate the problems of agricultural development in the Transcarpathian region as one of the key components of rural development. The state of socio-economic development of rural areas of the Transcarpathian region is an indicator of the level of well-being of the region and requires an integrated sectoral-territorial approach.Research methodology. Transcarpathian statistics for the years 2010-2019 were used for the study. The number of economic entities in this field, the state of agricultural land, the dynamics of agricultural production, the production of the main types of agricultural products were analyzed: crop production, livestock production and dynamics of agricultural product indices 2011-2018. Results. The main problems that arise in agriculture include: dependence on natural and climatic conditions, the need to improve state regulation in this area, lack of support and incentives for small businesses in the agricultural sector, outdated logistics, inefficient marketing policies and others. Consideration should also be given to the environmental safety of the products produced, to reducing the negative impact on the environment, to improving soil fertility and to ensuring the sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas. Increased agricultural production and the efficient functioning of agriculture are driving the development of rural areas in the region. Practical meaning. The practical significance is that certain results can be used in practical activities to make management policy decisions in the field of rural area development. Novelty. Agriculture needs effective state support, which must be built on the scientific base and experience of developed countries. The aforementioned research needs areas of social infrastructure that directly influence the formation of socio-economic potential of the Ukrainian village.
