The study revealed contradictory dynamics in the development of agro-industrial complex of the Donetsk People’s Republic. On the one hand, a significant progress has been made in crop production and certain areas of animal husbandry, on the other hand, systemic problems persist that hinder the realization of production potential. The key challenges include: high depreciation of machinery, technological dependence on imports, structural imbalances between export-oriented and import-substituting industries, as well as external risks. A set of measures has been developed to modernize the agro-industrial complex, including technological renewal of production and infrastructure, development of the research base, restructuring of industries and improvement of investment policy. Special attention is paid to the need to develop the processing industry and increase the share of high-value-added products.

Keywords: agro-industrial complex, DPR, sustainable development, crop production, animal husbandry, food security, export potential.
