Abstract: The report examines structural changes in agriculture in the post-reform period, assesses these changes; It is shown that privatization, de-collectivization, holding, agro-industrial integration, concentration of land and capital had a positive impact on industry growth rates and labor productivity. However, there are negative phenomena. The increase in the share of agricultural holdings leads to a decrease in the rural population and agricultural employment in the region, and the share of people employed in low-productivity farms is growing in the structure of agricultural holdings. Unequal access to state subsidies creates advantages for a separate circle of companies, and the growth of profitability in them does not correlate with the growth of employees' income: their share decreases with an increase in the share of owners and the state. The paper formulates proposals for improving the structural policy in the agricultural sector of Russia and the subjects of the Russian Federation.
