The article raises the problem of the correct evaluation of state financial support amount for the agro-industrial complex (AIC), which is an essential condition for the effective functioning and dynamic development of the industry. The relevance of this evaluation increases whenever agribusiness entities face risks that are characteristic of both agricultural production and caused by unfavorable natural conditions. In this regard, the primary purpose of the article is to conduct a comparative analysis of the amount of state support for the AIC of Kazakhstan, obtained using different evaluation methods. The article presents the results of the indicators analysis of international estimation methodologies for state support developed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in the field of implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the World Trade Organization (WTO). The second, but no less significant purpose of the article is to justify the sufficiency of the amount of budget support for achieving the goals of the AIC sustainable development. To achieve this, an evaluation of the amount of budget funds allocated by the state to support agriculture was carried out. This amount is compared with the contribution of agriculture to the GDP of Kazakhstan. The structure of state financial support has been considered. The evaluation results have showed that there is a reserve for increasing the amount of state financial support for the agricultural sector. Thus, the methodology of this research is based on a comparative, statistical and systematic analysis of international estimation methodologies for state financial support.
