Abstract
Based on the study of commercialization of the results of scientific research in agricultural sector, the article discusses the issues of using scientific discoveries in Kazakhstan and shows ways to solve them to improve the efficiency of the country's agro-industrial complex, create competitive environment, accelerate effective application of innovations. The main barriers to the commercialization of scientific achievements in the field of agricultural production are identified. The authors note that incentives are needed only for the targeted selection of projects on competitive basis with emphasis on promising areas of innovative development of agro-industrial complex, and also draw attention to the fact that for the growth of indicators of commercialization of agricultural enterprises and other economic entities, they aim to get benefits from introduction of innovations into production, prove their production viability in all parameters that determine their innovative activity. Internal costs for research and development work are analyzed depending on the types of work. As a result, it was found that funding for scientific research in the country remains at a low level, the level of funds invested in R&D is significantly inferior to economically developed countries. The information on the innovative infrastructure contributing to the successful commercialization of scientific results is presented. Thus, the most important task of the scientific and innovative process, which ensures the relevance and practical feasibility of innovative projects, is the commercialization of technologies.
