Abstract: Sustainable positive dynamics of agricultural production allowed agrarians, economists and politicians to talk about the industry not only as an instrument for ensuring food security, but also as a driver of economic growth. The inclusion of gross value added (GVA) data in the target indicators of the Government Program of Agriculture Development and Regulation of Markets for Agricultural Products, Raw Materials and Foodstuffs (hereinafter referred to as the Government Program) proved this thesis in practice. At the same time, over recent years, growth of agricultural production is accompanied by reduction of agricultural share in the national economy.
