Relevance . The agro-industrial complex, for a number ofreasons, occupies an important place in the domestic economy. Its defining role in ensuring the food security of the state, as well as its intersectoral nature, which determines the fact that the success of the functioning of industries related to the agro-industrial complex is largely determined by its condition, brings the issues of sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex and ensuring the protection of its economic interests to a number of the most important national problems. This circumstance serves to actualize research in the mentioned subject area and indicates the need for their intensification. Methods . In the course of the work, general logical and empirical methods of analysis, synthesis, analogy, formalization, generalization and comparison were used. Results . According to the results of the study, it was concluded that the rate of increase in the level of depreciation of fixed assets in the agricultural sector remains lower than in the national economy as a whole, however, they also show negative dynamics. This circumstance indicates that the modernization of the material base of the agricultural sector is taking place at an unsatisfactory pace. One of the important reasons for the low pace of development of the Russian agro-industrial complex is the low level of domestic effective demand for the goods produced by it. The decline in the share of the Russian Federation in the global gross value added of agriculture indicates the emerging lag in the development of the national agro-industrial complex and the active substitution of products previously produced by it by the countries of the eastern region (India, China), which in the medium term can negatively affect the level of food security in Russia.
