The article is devoted to the state of the economy of the subject of the agricultural sector – the Toktogul region of Kyrgyzstan, as well as the formation of a land division, which is impossible without an influx of investments and ensuring the availability of monetary resources for agricultural producers. In our time, innovation is becoming the main means of increasing the benefits of economic entities by better meeting market demand and reducing production losses compared to competitors. Despite repeated attempts by the country to create a system of lending to agricultural companies, only a small percentage of them use credit resources. Various state aid schemes support a competitive environment in the money markets and guarantee relatively equal access to them for financial institutions and agricultural enterprises.

One of the most important directions in this context is the problems of organizational and legal forms of development of entrepreneurial activity in agriculture. Effective development of entrepreneurial activity in agriculture is hindered by poor adaptation to market conditions and low investment attractiveness of agrarian production and economic formations, unsystematic and dispersed revenues for modernization of production activities, insufficient state support, imperfection of the organizational and economic mechanism for managing the development of various organizational and legal forms of entrepreneurial activity activities in the agrarian sector. In the historical aspect of the development of entrepreneurial activity there are the following forms: private farms, individual holdings, households, peasant farms, private and state agricultural enterprises, collective farms, in particular peasant unions, agricultural companies, inter-farm enterprises and associations, of various kinds and types societies that are divided in form of association and level of responsibility. The most important of these, which have become accustomed and function in agriculture, are agricultural enterprises, in particular private ones, and households. However, today the state of development of entrepreneurial activity in the agroindustrial complex remains rather complicated and requires complex comprehensive reforms, the main role of which should be owned by the state. That is why among the objects of state regulation a special place should occupy the agrarian sector of the economy and the forms of entrepreneurial activity, in particular the agrarian market and the formation of its infrastructure, which is conditioned by the state regulation. The main problems of the agrarian sector development include the low efficiency of agricultural production and the problem of deformation of price proportions, the solution of which is directly related to the perfection of the infrastructure and mechanisms for regulating the agricultural market. The process of establishing enterprises on the basis of co-operation and their integration with processing enterprises will reflect the interests of agricultural producers and promote their stable and efficient development. The most effective form of co-operation is production, sales and service cooperatives, created on the basis of cooperation of shares and natural forage lands, fixed assets, livestock of animals that unite agricultural producers, households, purchasers, enterprises of the processing industry, various catering enterprises, institutions and organizations. Co-operation, by its very nature, is an economic and voluntary phenomenon. Integration is the next stage of effective economic forms of cooperation among the participants in the agrarian market.

The article is aimed at analyzing the work of insurance companies in the agricultural insurance market, evaluating their services for insurance protection of agricultural producers and studying the State’s efforts in supporting farmers in the sphere of agricultural insurance. In the course of the study, it is defined that the current system of agricultural insurance is unsatisfactory, and every year regressive processes are observed in the agricultural insurance market. The low demand for agricultural insurance in Ukraine is associated with the high cost of the service, limited choice of counter-parties, complexity of the insurance mechanism. The carried out analysis of the work of insurers in the agricultural insurance market indicates their partial participation in this type of insurance: for example, out of 64 insurers licensed for agricultural insurance, only less than a third provide services in this direction. As a result of the study of the line of insurance products for agricultural insurance, it is determined that complex and index insurance and insurance of animals and poultry are in great demand. It is found out that the extanrt system of agricultural insurance with the State support, even under the conditions of its functioning, would not have gained much popularity. The main reasons are a complex insurance mechanism, a one-time payment of 100% insurance premiums and the insecurity of the agricultural producer in obtaining the entire amount of subsidies belonging to him further on. In the future, in order to improve the situation in this industry, it is necessary to make certain amendments to the current legislation, which will revitalize the domestic sphere of agricultural insurance while providing confidence to agricultural producers in the continuity and reproduction of their output.

State-supported agricultural insurance is a financial policy imperative in agricultural development. The purpose of the article is to study the current state of the development of agricultural insurance of crop production carried out with the state support of the regions of Southern Russia in order to determine the possibilities of expansion of its scope and increase of its accessibility. It was concluded that there had been significant changes in the market during the period under review. The article presents the analysis of agricultural insurance on the example of crop production carried out with the state support of Southern Russian regions. After 2014 there was a decrease in the activity in agricultural insurance both by insurers and insured. The dominant reason for a considerable drop in insurance in crop production has been the transformation of forms of state support for agricultural producers since 2017. It is the transfer to a “single subsidy”, which included all types of industry support costs that lead to the inability to pay crop insurance premiums in many regions, in particular South Russia. It should be noted that since 2016 there has been a decrease in the number of insurance copmpanies that have carried out insurance with state support. This was a result of the tightening of control over insurers by the Bank of Russia and the emergence of a mandatory requirement of membership in the National Union of Agricultural Insurers to those insurance companies that insured producers with government support. Thus, the changes of the terms of insurance subsidies became a threat to this form of support. Recently, there has been some modification of this form of support for the industry, and the task of the state is to consolidate this trend. The study concluded that the attraction of more insurance companies to regional markets, involvement of representatives of medium and small businesses in the agricultural risk insurance system, increased flexibility of insurance conditions with state support and improved quality of insurance payment procedures, possibility to independently determine the increasing factor for arable lands, compensatory subsidies written into agricultural crop insurance contracts will facilitate the access to this measure and expansion of this form of support.

The purpose of the research is to substantiate the laws of development of agricultural insurance with state support in Ukraine, and provide a set of practical recommendations for implementation of insurance mechanisms for financial support of agriculture. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research are the dialectical method of knowledge of economic processes, the fundamental provisions of modern economic theory, scientific works domestic and foreign scientists on economic relations between participants of the agricultural insurance market with state support for agricultural products. A systematic approach, methods of generalization, induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis and comparison were used to achieve this purpose. Results. The necessity and importance of using insurance mechanisms to mitigate risks for agricultural producers had been determined. The state of economic relations for the protection of property interests of agricultural producers had been reviewed in general, and trends in the development of subsidized crop insurance in the insurance market of Ukraine had been identified. The indicators of agricultural insurance and the amount of subsidies from the state budget allocated to reduce the cost of insurance premiums (contributions), which actually had been paid by actors of the agricultural market, had been analyzed. It was revealed that in 2005-2008 the introduction of state support for crop insurance had a positive impact on the performance of the agricultural insurance market, contributed to the popularization of this type of insurance in Ukraine, and positively affected protecting the interests of agricultural producers. The factors hindering the development of domestic crop insurance with state support were revealed. It had been proved that current level of penetration of this kind of insurance protection remains low and insufficient to guarantee the safety of business activities in the agricultural sector, the current model of agricultural state aid, provided by the Law of Ukraine “On peculiarities of crop insurance with state support”, was inefficient and therefore required reformation. The importance of improvements in state regulation, including implementation mechanisms of the existing legislation, and state policy of financial support had been substantiated. It was determined that the market model of crop insurance system in Ukraine should be based on the principles of public-private partnership. Practical meaning appears in the possibility of using theoretical conclusions and practical recommendations for the further development of agricultural insurance in general and crop insurance with state support in particular. Prospects for further research are identification and scientific substantiation of the ways of forming a reliable mechanism for insurance protection of property interests of agricultural producers, development and legislation of recommendations on the forms of effective interaction between the main participants in agricultural insurance – agricultural producers, insurance companies and government.

The paper is devoted to the interpretation and analysis of risk insurance of agricultural enterprises. Agricultural insurance is one of the most specific types of insurance, because a huge number of natural factors and emergencies (drought, floods, sudden changes in air temperature, humidity, and insect pests) are constant and inevitable risks of any agriculture. They cause considerable financial losses, and therefore such a sector of the economy must find reliable opportunities to protect against them. One of the risky types of insurance is agricultural risk insurance. This type of insurance is an important means of reducing the degree of risk in agriculture. The paper considers the peculiarities of the functioning of the agricultural segment of the insurance market in foreign countries. The possibility of attracting and adapting foreign experience of state financial support to the insurance market of Ukraine within the framework of basic insurance models is determined. The purpose of the study is to study and generalize risks in insurance, insurance models, foreign experience in agricultural production, development of recommendations for improving insurance operations for public financial support in the agricultural sector of Ukraine, taking into account foreign experience. Risk in agriculture is seen as a threat or possibility to deviate from the expected results of activities or decisions made from the planned ones. The paper also considers the experience of working with foreign countries on this issue. The purpose of the paper is to study the theoretical aspects of risk insurance that arise in the implementation of business activities in agriculture, justification of ways to improve the legislative and financial influence of the state in this process. The purpose of state assistance is to develop insurance infrastructure, standardize insurance conditions, reduce the cost of insurance products for agricultural users and improve the quality of insurance products. So, the main task for insurers of Ukraine is to gain and maintain a decent reputation and provide effective insurance services. Today, the state is trying to improve and stabilize the situation in the agricultural sector, for example, it involves the practice of providing state support in insurance of agricultural products (providing from the state budget to agricultural producers in the form of subsidies to reimburse part of the insurance payment actually paid for them).
