Energy saving and increasing energy efficiency of agribusiness are aimed at producing higher quality agricultural products with minimal consumption of fuel and energy resources. At the same time, energy conservation implies a decrease in the need for energy capacities, a decrease in the energy intensity of production in general, and the introduction of energy-saving technologies. The aim of the study is to assess the state of energy efficiency in agricultural production and substantiate the need for the introduction of energy-saving technologies by agribusiness entities to ensure sustainable development and a high level of competitiveness of agricultural products. The study made it possible to identify the specific features of the energy supply of the agricultural sector and the main reasons for the high energy intensity and low energy efficiency of agricultural production. As a result of the study of promising developments in the field of energy conservation and existing energy-saving technologies, organizational and economic measures aimed at increasing energy efficiency and reducing the energy intensity of agricultural production were determined.
