Innovations in the agro-industrial complex of the Aktobe region of the Republic of Kazakhstan: an effective mechanism for solving the food issue

Purpose – the article discusses the current aspects of the development of agroindustrial complex on the example of the Aktobe region, presents recommendations that contribute to the solution of these issues. Research methods – abstract-logical, statistical, observation, scientific abstraction. Factor analysis, grouping method, tabular and graphical methods of data visualization were used as statistical tools. Results – studying the foreign practice of modernizing agricultural sector in order to ensure food security, the authors note that the main criteria should include the system of state and local self-government, legislative framework, fiscal and monetary regulation, mechanism of subsidizing and lending, investment, innovation policy. The main indi 
cators of agricultural production in the region for 2017-2021 are analyzed. It is proved that at present it is necessary to restore this strategically important sector of economy on a qualitatively new technical and technological basis that meets modern trends. Agrarian science of Kazakhstan has developed a fairly large number of innovations, the implementation of which in the agroindustrial complex would raise it to a high level. However, the degree of use of innovations by commodity producers remains very low. One of the problems of the low activity of innovative processes is the lack of motivation in the development of innovations by agricultural producers. Conclusions – innovative development involves the transition to resource-saving technologies that contribute not only to increasing production volumes, but also saving resources, as well as achieving the required level of food security. This complex task requires the creation of appropriate conditions: appropriate infrastructure for innovation activity, a set of material, technical, legislative means for information, marketing, financial, and personnel services for business entities.
