The increasing practical significance of forecasting tools in the agricultural business arises from the requirements of legislation on strategic planning. Solving the problem of foreseeing bankruptcy in foreign practice is carried out through the use of a step-by-step discriminant analysis methodology. The most common solvency forecasting models developed by Western European and Russian scientists in scientific research have been systematized. Their analytical and functional capabilities are summarized, and the need for their application in domestic practice to supplement existing tools of bankruptcy diagnostics with the means of its prediction is shown. These models, along with the method of assessing insolvency, will allow for a comprehensive survey of agribusiness entities, improving the business reputation of agriculture and acting as instrumental support for issuing guarantees to free capital owners about the financial status of producers in the future.

Food security maintained with the least budget resources remains to be a topical issue at the current stage of the country’s development. Public support as a strategic planning tool can determine the production of goods which require the least agricultural resources and the minimum expenditures on the citizens’ side to achieve the food security targets. Therefore, there is a need to re-view the criteria for subsidies in agriculture as regards their utilization. The main methodological approaches to the evaluation of the public support efficiency were summarized and critically analyzed to reveal that their imitation capabilities fail to be applied in the strategic planning practices. The purpose of the study was to theoretically justify and to develop the methodological recommendations aimed to improve the evaluation and the planning of the subsidies efficiency in agriculture with regard to the regions’ agriculture potential. The proposed methodology defines the indicators of the profit, pay-off period, capacity and cost-efficiency of the subsidies with regard to the natural and economic conditions of the economic activities as the natural ground for the competitive advantages for the producers in different RF territories, which is seen to be a unique feature of the methodology. To test it, the RF regions are grouped by their cadastral values of 1 ha agricultural land into 5 units. The study found that this factor does not impact the efficiency of the public support, which means a low exploitation of the regions’ strategic potential to solve the food security tasks. Strategic planning tools applied to distribute the budget in agriculture with the focus on more products with the most profitable production output in the context of the particular region and their availability for the consumers will increase the efficiency of the budget spending. The development of these managerial decisions is seen to be the area of the author’s further research.
