The purpose of this work is to study the factors influencing investments in the purchase of non-current assets of the Russian agro-industrial complex both during economic downturns and in stable periods. This document will briefly describe the current features, strengths and weaknesses of the agricultural sector of the Russian Federation, and provide an overview of obstacles to investment in this industry. A brief analysis of the actions of government agencies aimed at supporting the industry in times of crisis will also be conducted.
