Technical equipment of agriculture in Kazakhstan as a factor of increasing its competitiveness

The material basis for the development of technological innovations, increasing the competitiveness of domestic food is technical potential. The purpose of the study is to study the current state of provision of agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan with agricultural machinery, to identify the main problems and prospects of agricultural engineering. Based on the use of economic and statistical method, the analysis of the availability of the main types of agricultural machinery in the republic for 2013-2020 was done. Consideration of statistical data indicates that technical equipment of agricultural production is one of the determining factors for its effective development. Results – the experience of the CIS and foreign countries in the formation of technical base of agricultural producers is presented and the role of agricultural sector in sustainable development of the country's economy is justified. The dynamics of the output of the main types of agricultural machines is shown, taking into account the State Program on Development of the AIC of the RK for 2017-2021. The key problematic issues of material and technical support of agricultural industry are reflected: wear and tear of equipment, excess of standard service period, weak technical means, high cost of agricultural equipment. The data on domestic enterprises producing various agricultural machinery are presented. Conclusions based on the analysis, the authors note that due to insufficient volumes of domestic production of agricultural machinery, their main quantity and types are supplied from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and foreign countries. Information about suppliers of agricultural machinery is presented, indicating the name and brand of machinery. As a result of the conducted research, the necessity of development of agricultural machinery for updating technical means of agro-industrial complex has been justified. For these purposes, a set of measures aimed to improve technical equipment of agro-industrial production of the Republic of Kazakhstan has been developed.
