The new situation of Kazakhstan's participation in the world grain market, which requires scientific generalization, is connected with the transformation of the country's trade turnover from interregional to interstate. In this connection, it is objectively necessary to scientifically and methodically substantiate the system of inter-branch cooperation between enterprises for the production and sale of grain and grain processing products in order to ensure stable provision of demand for them in the regions of the country with minimum costs and export it to foreign markets. The problem of increasing the efficiency of the use of grain requires a comprehensive reduction in its consumption across all consumption channels: on seeds, when processed into flour and cereals, for forage purposes. The paramount importance of effective inter-industry cooperation between grain sub-sector organizations is determined by the leading role of grain in the economy of the agro-industrial complex, food security, and the formation of state, interstate and interregional economic ties of the country. In the current situation, the stable functioning of the grain market should be carried out on the basis of a combination of market mechanisms with state regulation tools and targeted support of its subjects.

The study deals with the formation of a model of sustainable and effective development of agriculture and rural areas as the main task of implementing the State agricultural policy. The relevance of the tasks set by the author lies in considering the living conditions in the countryside as an integrated approach to the country's economy in order to diversify the types of activities in rural areas, create new sources of income. The directions representing a new economic paradigm of rural development in Kazakhstan are justified. The ways of implementing a comprehensive policy are shown, which consists in the partnership of public structures, local governments, public organizations and private sector, so that in the future, rural areas will become the most important socioeconomic and ecological subsystem of society. One of the key issues in the development of a model of modernization of the Kazakh countryside - the methodology for assessing the strategy and taken measures are highlighted. It is noted that monitoring of a wide variety of regional situations in rural settlements is of great scientific importance in creating a reliable and objective basis for developing substantiated measures to improve the quality of life of the rural population and determining priorities. The author states that the implementation of the "Auyl - El besigi" program contributes to the development of support and satellite villages, which have the potential to increase the level of life and well-being of rural residents, modernize the social infrastructure of the SNP JSC "Fund for Financial Support of Agriculture" allocated significant amounts to ensure employment of the rural population. The program condition in the funded projects should be startups, proposals for non-agricultural areas of expansion of activities in rural areas.

The efficient functioning of grain market contributes to the food security of the country. The aim – the issue of improving the grain marketing system is considered. Methods – comparative analysis, statistical and economic, logical, generalization. Results – assessment of the potential of grain resources in the context of the development priorities of the agro-industrial complex is presented. It is noted that currently there are changes in the volume and structure of grain sales channels: a decrease in absolute indicators and relative share of its sales to the State and increased sales on free market. The situation in storage of grain is shown, which indicates that in the work of large elevators, trends associated with functioning of agricultural holdings, the emergence of large grain companies and transnational corporations are indicated, which are mainly located in the territory of grain-growing regions. Аt the same time, many rural commodity producers do not have their own grain storage facilities, they are not united in marketing cooperatives, which does not give them the opportunity to form large commercial lots of high quality grain crops, to reduce distribution costs. In addition, they are not sufficiently equipped with grain cleaning and grain drying equipment, as a result, raw materials are not processed to basic conditions. Conclusions – grain industry, which occupies a key position in the economy of the republic, is a complex and dynamically developing multifunctional mechanism. One of the main directions of its development is the cereal marketing system, which predetermines the feasibility of agricultural production, the reliability of the country's grain and fodder supply, which has a significant impact on the efficiency of foreign trade. The problems of disparity in prices for commodity resources sold and grain products supplied to producers, and the development of production infrastructure remain unresolved. There is a lack of storage capacities for grain, high tariffs for services of elevators and grain receiving points, forcing agricultural producers to sell grain at low prices.

It is known that the need to manage the sustainable development of the grain economy actualizes the search for effective solutions to problems and achieve socio-economic indicators of the functioning of all structures of the agro-food complex of the country. That is why in the conditions of deformation of market conditions and globalization of the economy grain production as a complex multifunctional and dynamically changing system that performs a wide range of economic functions, should be given priority by the government. This is particularly important in view of the fact that the unfavourable macroeconomic conditions for grain farming created during the initial period of market reforms contributed to the serious destruction and degradation of its production potential, which actually led to an aggravation of the crisis situation in the reproduction process. However, in the recent period, the existing system of grain farming has become more actively subject to improvement, including through the implementation of a multidimensional state grain policy, including its price, tax, credit, financial, insurance and tariff components. At the same time, agricultural producers have the opportunity to take advantage of more affordable short-term and long-term loans, to attract budget subsidies to repay part of the fixed interest rate on previously attracted loans, as a result of which a certain positive trend was noted for the financial recovery of agricultural (crop) and grain processing enterprises.

Purpose – complex multifunctional and dynamic system, which includes a wide range of national economic functions, which is represented by grain farming, and requires priority attention to its development from the state has been analyzed. It is noted that the stability of grain trade, functioning of national and general grain markets depend on the quantity, quality, species range and price level of grain produced, demand, government influence on its production and sale, situation on the world grain market and other factors of an internal and external nature. The research methods are reflected in the improvement of territorial division of labor in the process of grain production and development of grain trade between countries, taking into account the scientific approach to the development and implementation of projects and programs of an interstate association, which should be comprehensive and take into account the positive aspects and barriers in expanding the single grain market. Results – it was revealed that innovative activity, promising innovations for the systems of breeding and seed production of grain crops, development of mechanization, land reclamation, chemical processing, expansion and strengthening of transport routes, information support, management in the fields of grain production and market relations allow the formation of specialized grain zones. Conclusions – in Kazakhstan, it is necessary to create a domestic accounting system in accordance with interstate agreements, according to which, in 2022, a mechanism for the identification and traceability of grain should function in the EAEU. It will require its development, similar to dairy products, which will significantly increase the cost of using these technologies.
