AGRICULTURAL FINANCING AS THE BASIS FOR FOOD SECURITY IN KAZAKHSTAN UNDER EAEU CONDITIONS

With Kazakhstan’s accession to the Eurasian Economic Union, the government needed to change the instruments to support agriculture and the agro-industrial complex as a whole. As it is on its success that the provision and condition of food security of the country directly depends. Food security is very urgent, especially during the current financial crisis. To date, the instability of agriculture in Kazakhstan is the main reason for the low level of food security in the country. One of the strategic tasks for Kazakhstan is to ensure food security. There is a lack of scientific research aimed at financing and state support of agriculture as an important prerequisite for ensuring food security in Kazakhstan under the conditions of the Eurasian Economic Union, which determines the purpose of our study. The following research methods were used in the work: economic and statistical; economic and mathematical methods, including methods of statistical analysis. We use correlation and regression analysis to study the relationship between public financing of the agro-industrial complex and food security. By this we not only analyze the current situation, but also make it possible to implement a medium-term forecast. The result of the study is a structural analysis of the financing of the agro-industrial complex, which shows that the bulk of the financing is carried out by own funds, and the amount of public investment is less than own resources. Based on the study, the dependence of agriculture in Kazakhstan under the EAEU conditions on state funding and support has been revealed. The main ways and solutions to ensure food security of Kazakhstan in the conditions of the Eurasian Economic Union have been proposed. Conclusions. Ensuring food security of the population is an integral part of economic, political and national security of the country. In this context, the agro-industrial complex is the main key factor and epicentre of food security of the country, and without state financial support for agriculture, food security of Kazakhstan is and will be under threat. Only by solving this urgent problem can Kazakhstan lead among the member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. Therefore, in order to ensure food security, measures that need to be taken to develop a food security policy have been proposed. In addition, proposals have been made to regulate and control food security in Kazakhstan.
