Using methods of grant financing of AIC projects in modern conditions

The study of existing methods of grant financing of agricultural projects and their use in modern conditions, when the Russian economy is faced with numerous sanctions that limit its development, is rather an important aspect in finding ways to level them. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the existing methods of grant funding of agricultural projects and their use in modern conditions and to determine the place of the agro-industrial complex in the anti-sanction economic policy of the state. The subject of the research is grant financing of agro-industrial complex projects. The research methodology includes a set of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization). Their application contributed to a comprehensive study of the processes and methods of grant funding for agro-industrial complex projects. The article primarily discusses the basic characteristics of grant funding in the Russian Federation. The inconsistency and dual nature of the currently implemented grant support, based primarily on the “innovation lift” model, is established. The features of federal and sectoral state programs aimed at the development of modern agro-industrial complex are described. The attention is focused on the implementation of projects by peasant farms, which is a priority for the Russian economy. The characteristics of the types of grant financing for agro-industrial complex projects are given. At the end of the article, the results of the study are summarized and it is stated that the implementation of agro-industrial complex projects is an integral element of the economic development of the state and its subjects, and the sanctions applied by Western countries against the Russian economy serve only as a driver for the further development of the agro-industrial complex and the entire economic system as a whole.
