Under modern conditions of functioning of the agrarian sector of Russian economy, which are described with the need to increase the output of the agricultural production in order to ensure import substitution and food safety, it is necessary to analyze the state of the agricultural economy of the regions of the country and the prospects of its development on the innovative basis. To solve the problems faced by the Kuban farmers the comprehensive long-term anti-crisis program of the sustainable development of the agrarian sector of the economy of the region is being developed. It is revealed that the high potential of the increasing output and the economic efficiency growth in the industry is built into the production concentration and the formation of large agricultural holding companies, where agricultural production, processing and sales of products are combined. The necessity of the creation of the "Special program of small agribusiness development" is mentioned. Relying on foreign experience and the experience of the unique enterprise "Konitek-South" Ltd., involved in the purchase of the agricultural products from farmers and the public, and selling it in dozens of Russian regions, the authors propose the optimal variant of the wholesale markets organization. The need to strengthen the government role in the further development and reforming of the agrarian sector of the economy, in the regulation of the agricultural wholesale markets and in the small business development, in the improvement of its competitiveness and investment attractiveness is emphasized
