The article shows the problems of structural imbalances in the provision of enterprises with all types of material and technical resources of agro-industrial complex, lag in the level of the internal infrastructure of agricultural enterprises and agro-industrial complex as a whole, which leads to the ineffective use of elements of production potential and is an obstacle to the introduction of modern equipment and technologies, as well as new forms of organization of production. The agricultural sector as raw material support for light industry is a key one in the country's economy. As modern experience of industry associations of developed countries shows, functioning of production services market is viewed as trend based on the principles and characteristics of the development of various industries. The authors present an improved Kazakhstani model for the development of agricultural production infrastructure, taking into account the best world practice of consistency in planning and evaluating results, the complexity of measures, individual approach, guarantees of fulfillment of obligations.
