Introduction. The systemic crisis has had a profound impact on agriculture and its material and technical base, whose deterioration has significantly affected the condition of the country's agricultural sector. Improving the efficiency of agricultural production is only possible by developing a highly advanced material and technical base and ensuring its renewal through modernization, technical re-equipment, and the creation of machinery systems for mechanization and automation in agriculture. Method (Methodology). To achieve the objectives of this research, the following methods and approaches were employed: the monographic method – for a comprehensive study of the features of forming and efficiently utilizing elements of the material and technical base in agricultural production and identifying factors influencing its reproduction intensity; comparison – to analyze economic phenomena across different time periods to establish cause-and-effect relationships; graphical methods – to study connections, identify trends, and determine patterns in the effective use of agricultural equipment by enterprises; and the abstract-logical method—to develop rational organizational and economic conditions for reproducing the elements of the material and technical base in agricultural enterprises. Results. It has been proven that, given the specifics of the reproduction of the material and technical base, it is necessary to develop and implement methods for regulating the reproduction process. The research establishes that the reproduction of the material and technical base in agriculture requires adequate attention from both the state and business entities where this process occurs. Determining how to regulate the reproduction of these elements is essential. The state and its institutions play a key role in shaping the conditions for reproduction, influenced by a complex of socio-economic relations that include economic, social, legal, and other factors. The state's policy on reproduction involves not only setting conditions but also regulating the economy.
