Sources of state support for agricultural producers are considered, namely: 1) direct budget support in the form of subsidies and grants, 2) tax benefits, and 3) government intervention in pricing (for example, through export or import restrictions). It has been established that direct state support is the sum of expenses provided for in the State Budget of Ukraine as the budget program "Financial Support of Agricultural Producers".
