The article is devoted to the study of measures of state financial support for agribusiness
entities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper provides a comparative analysis of indicators
of the dynamics of gross output of products (services) in agriculture for the years 2019 and 2020,
as well as the dynamics of the quantitative representation of agribusiness entities. The paper also
presents data on the financing of small and medium-sized businesses in agriculture using the
tools of concessional lending, investment subsidies, loan guarantees, subsidizing interest rates on
loans, and leasing. The results of the analysis allow the authors to conclude that the state funding
during the pandemic had a significant impact on business support and ensured an increase in the
indicators under consideration.
