Information and consulting support of farmers on land issues to obtain state support

Since the middle of the second decade of the twenty-first century, government support for small forms of business in the agricultural sector of the economy has intensified. Attracting funds in the form of a grant to finance most of the initial costs of an investment project is fundamentally possible for the vast majority of farmers in the Russian Federation at the present time. However, often a barrier to receiving budget funds is the low level of preparation of this project, including on land issues, due to the lack of high-quality consulting support of a potential grantee. In this regard, the article analyzes the features of information and consulting support in the field of agricultural land use when receiving grants, both for novice farmers and for successfully developing farms for several years. The study reveals the peculiarities of the interaction of the subjects of the consulting infrastructure with small businesses at various stages of the life cycle of the agricultural business in the process of participating in the competitive selection of recipients of «Agrostartup» grants, as well as for the development of family farms, in the livestock and crop industries. The work is based on practical situations of information and consulting support of farmers in the Omsk region.
