THE WORLD PRACTICE OF STATE SUPPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR: CURRENT TRENDS AND FORECASTS

Abstract

The article examines the international experience of state support for the agricultural sector, starting from historical aspects and ending with modern trends. A comparative analysis of the world practice of using state subsidy programs, fiscal policy and other tools to stimulate agricultural production is carried out. The purpose of the study was to identify the best practices of state support for the agro-industrial complex in advanced countries to improve national mechanisms for supporting agriculture in Kazakhstan. Special attention was paid to the search for effective solutions that contribute to the sustainable development of the agricultural sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan, taking into account global economic and environmental challenges. The author examines current trends in the agricultural policy of the leading countries and analyzes the prospects for the development of state regulation of agriculture in the context of globalization of trade relations. As a result of the analysis, the current trends and problems of the development of world agriculture are demonstrated. Taking into account the geography of crop production and similar climatic conditions with Kazakhstan, the agricultural policies of Japan, the USA, the Netherlands, France, Australia and Brazil were studied to assess the best practices of state support for agriculture. Using the example of these countries, forecasts of further development of agricultural policy on a global scale and an assessment of Kazakhstan's potential in the context of global dynamics are presented.
