The article identifies groups of infrastructure sectors: those that directly serve the process of production of agricultural products and raw materials, and industries and organizations that provide procurement, transportation and storage of agricultural products. The study of these infrastructure sectors, their significance and impact on the level of rural development and strengthening of the national economy. The authors evaluate a set of measures to increase the yield of cultivated land, one of which is the use of fertilizers.Along with agrochemical problems, the country's agriculture is facing acute problems with providing fresh water, increasing needs for infrastructure for marketing agricultural products, lack of industrial containers, lack of storage capacity for food products, underdevelopment of trade and logistics systems, insufficient number of transport and logistics centers, transport support for agricultural industries, and deterioration of roads. One of the ways to solve these problems was to improve the infrastructure for selling agricultural products and create a wide network of purchase points in all rural localities of the Republic and remote areas with a high concentration of sources of agricultural raw materials.The article also discusses measures for the implementation of state programs for the development of agricultural sectors. In particular, the actions of financial institution that implements the state policy on supporting and stimulating the development of agroindustrial complex, increasing the availability of funding of the subjects of agriculture, the financial institutions included in it, credit programs, their prospective opportunities in the development of infrastructure industries and agriculture as a whole are studied in detail.

The goal is to study the possibilities of using digital technologies in agriculture, economic efficiency on the example of digital product "Cropio" – a satellite monitoring system. Methods – analysis, synthesis, comparison and analogy, selection of data and their detailing. The article shows the conditions for the implementation of information processes in agro-industrial complex, considers the current state, problems, substantiates the need for the use of smart technologies, clarifies the concept of "precision farming". The authors analyze the benefits of the Cropio program, which is used in agricultural sector of developed countries. Its functionality allows not only to control the sowing work, but also to determine soil moisture, its saturation with nutrients. It is noted that the program generates information on climatic and weather conditions, calculates the savings in material resources. The software components, their functions, installation process, acquisition mechanisms, and information are presented. Results – calculations of the expected economic effect from the use of this automation system were carried out, profitability and expediency of applying the methodology for evaluating investment were determined. Conclusions – technical and information solutions of the Cropio precision farming project are becoming more and more popular every year, confirming their promise, they can reduce labor costs, increase productivity of farmland, and therefore reduce cost of finished products. Observation of objects based on satellite navigation, computer technology and digital maps makes it possible to assess rationality and timeliness of financial resources, take into account a number of factors that affect market value and profitability of land, minimize various risks, optimize production activities through construction of new business processes.

Animal husbandry is one of the main sectors of the country's economy, which can demonstrate significant results of import substitution shortly. In article dynamics of such relative indicators characterizing scales of industrial activity in the sphere of animal industries, as a share of the branch in the Kazakhstan economy and volumes of production of animal industries per capita of Kazakhstan is considered. For example, the average annual growth rate of this indicator is compared with countries with a high level of development of this industry. It was found out that the use of secondary raw materials of animal husbandry will promote the development of new industries and import substitution of both raw materials and finished products, which will attract innovative technologies in the agro-industrial complex. The article presents a step-by-step algorithm of research of the import-substituting potential of the industry, as well as its practical testing (by the example of the Republic of Kazakhstan). Volumes of production on branch "animal industries" are defined, connections of import dependence and the agrarian production made abroad are established.
