The classification of directions and methods of state regulation of the agrarian sector of the economy has been improved, namely: programmatic and strategic regulation (technical and technological modernization, innovative development; maintaining stability in the development of territories; development of general conditions of functioning); organizational, economic and technological regulation (land reclamation; improving the quality of training and retraining of personnel, improving qualifications; stimulating the targeted use of agricultural land); financial and credit regulation (provision of state guarantees to investors; concession agreements on the establishment of joint ventures with foreign investors; orientation and application of international standards); regulation in the sphere of investments (provision of state guarantees to investors; concession agreements on the creation of joint ventures with foreign investors; orientation and application of international standards); regulation of the market of agricultural products (development of competition within the industry and antimonopoly regulation; support of stable demand for agricultural products; state purchases of agricultural products; management of reasonable protectionism in the agricultural sector; purchase interventions of agricultural products); tax regulation (application of reduced rates for the agricultural sector; exemption from taxation of objects directly or indirectly related to the production of agricultural products; application of special tax regimes); budget regulation (providing subsidies, grants, subventions to agricultural enterprises; issuing interest-free loans from budget funds).

The functions of state regulation of the agrarian sector can be divided into the following main directions: ensuring the appropriate level of development of the competitive environment, implementing appropriate policy in the field of antimonopoly regulation, ensuring appropriate legal regulation; maintaining demand by forming an effective state system of orders from representatives of agricultural production; implementation of the practice of reasonable protectionism, application of reasonable customs tariffs; ensuring the necessary business conditions through the formation of concession projects in agricultural production; loyal policy of regulation regarding provision of agricultural producers with available resources; development of the system of training and development of personnel for agricultural production; ensuring the optimal policy of regulation and management, which involves the use of special mechanisms within the framework of the current institutional plane, the use of preferences in the form of special regulatory tools. Among the basic fundamental principles of state support for the agricultural sector, agrarian science singles out the following: addressability of state support and its targeted nature - directed funds must be used for the established purposes, namely for the purposes of agricultural production and activities of the agricultural sector; guaranteed and accessible state support - the state's obligations in terms of agro-food policy are included in the relevant state programs and are available to all national producers equally; efficiency of the use of funds - the use of public funds should not exceed or be lower than the obtained results.
