Abstract
Grain farming is a historically basic and strategic sector of the agricultural sector of the economy of Kazakhstan - the main producer of food products and the main source of livelihood of the population, on the dynamic sustainable development of which the food security of the country depends. The article analyzes grain sub-complex of Kazakhstan, investigates the problems of production and consumption of grain products as a backbone segment of the agro-industrial complex and the basis for solving food problem. The dynamics of the gross harvest of wheat in the country as a whole is analyzed, including in Akmola region - the leader in the ranking of grain yields. The tendencies of changes in the volumes of commercial grain production in the region are revealed. Method of comparative assessment of the main economic indicators of grain industry before and after the introduction of innovative technologies is proposed, recommendations on the expediency of their implementation are given. Summarizing the above, we can come to the following conclusion: the innovative development of grain industry can be the most effective in systemic complex of directions, priorities and tasks. The innovation process in the country's grain production has a number of positive aspects: carrying out work on reproduction of soil fertility, preventing their degradation; the use of various cultivation techniques, incl. energy and resource saving technologies for production, storage and processing of grain; elaboration and development of State innovation policy at the level of the entire AIC and grain cluster.
