Abstract
Based on the materials of specific agricultural formations in the Almaty region, this paper presents a methodological approach to assessing the effectiveness of using a resource potential.Approved economic-mathematical model of optimizing production and industrial structure, justifying the optimal parameters of elements of the resource potential through which there are revealed reserves for increasing efficiency of using a resource potential.The research results show that the use of economic and mathematical optimization models will significantly increase the efficiency of production and the use of the resource potential of specific agricultural formations.Practical recommendations are given to substantiate the optimal parameters of the resource potential of all types of agricultural enterprises in the Almaty region based on this methodology.
