Practice shows that the state support in our AIC comes to the wrong addressees. Helping big agricultural businesses at the expense of other participants, which often are inherently more efficient and competitive, still makes the position of the existing system of state support very problematic. More correctly in this situation would be to increase help for small- and medium-sized businesses, which are often created from scratch without any support, and, therefore, are more motivated to efficiency and growth. For example, small farms are producing up to 40% of the total agricultural production, but receive only about 10% of the state support allocated to agriculture. This imbalance distorts the competitive environment and hides great injustice of the entire agricultural policy. This is the main reason for incomplete implementation of the reserves in the segment of small businesses. This has a great negative impact on the key units of crediting and selling of small agribusiness forms (SAF). The authors propose restructuring the general support of regional agriculture by blocks of crop production and small agricultural economy in benefit of the SAF due to the possibilities of state support of crop production in the ratio of 2:1, that is to leave the crop to 66.7%, and for the SAF to 33.3%. Under this scheme, small forms over the next 5 years will receive 14.2 billion rubles instead of the planned 6.4 billion. This decision will contribute to the emerging of a healthy competitive environment in the domestic agricultural market and increase the faith of the owners of small businesses in possibilities of their growth and weakening of the principles of cooperation
