The national project for the development of small and medium-sized businesses has identified one of the objectives of improving the efficiency of small agricultural enterprises and the creation of new agricultural business structures. To do this, it is necessary to identify the economic problems of small agricultural enterprises and help them solve them, including the creation of favorable conditions that stimulate development. The purpose of the work was to assess the development of small agricultural entrepreneurship in the Krasnodar region and develop recommendations for its activation.Small forms of agricultural entrepreneurship in the Krasnodar region over the years of formation and development have shown their viability and high production potential. At the same time, their contribution to food production remains small. The article examines the formation and development of peasant (farm) farms and individual entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector of the economy of the Krasnodar region. The main modern problems hindering the development of small agricultural farms and their associations, agricultural cooperatives are identified. Attention is focused on the “weak” places of state and regional support, and measures are proposed to improve it. It is proposed to make changes in the distribution of budget funds to support agricultural enterprises, increasing the share of small businesses, to ensure equal access of all categories of farms to preferential lending. When distributing the per-hectare subsidy, take into account the conditions of agricultural production. It is necessary to regulate the mechanisms of commodity interventions, purchases of agricultural products for state needs, and preferential tariffs for transportation.
