The article shows the necessity of applying scientifically efficient technologies and expanding innovative activities to ensure the sustainable development of agriculture. As it is known, the term agriculture means the process of production of plant and animal products, improvement of their quality and effectiveness, protection of these products under suitable conditions, development and evaluation and putting them on sale. Agriculture is one of the sectors that form part of the economy of every country, including Azerbaijan and Ukraine. The importance of new generation technologies in accelerating the innovative development of the agricultural sector is explained. State support for agriculture, including the practice of subsidizing this field, has now become a crucial element of the global agricultural system. This article examines the theoretical aspects of the issue of state support to agriculture and analyzes the international experience in this field. State support measures for agriculture in Azerbaijan and Ukraine, especially direct subsidies, were systematically analyzed and the efficiency of this support was evaluated based on various indicators.
