Abstract:
The article discusses the methods of innovative development of the agricultural complex of the Republic of
Kazakhstan. It should be noted that the development of the economy has always been carried out on the basis
of the introduction of innovations, «but the centuries-old slowdown of this process did not allow it to be
tested». Modern innovative processes are distinguished by the fact that they become a condition for
development, innovations «form the basis for the development of socio-economic systems, determine the
pace and scale of their growth, structural changes». One of the innovations of the innovative organization of
production in the agricultural sector of the economy of Kazakhstan is the formation of clusters. Currently, the
peculiarity of domestic agriculture is the presence of a large number of scattered small farms less capable of
perceiving innovations. Therefore, the innovation direction of entrepreneurship development in the
agricultural sector may be the enlargement of enterprises through their combination or merger. Large
enterprises are able to diversify their production in order to insure themselves against accidental risks. Thus,
the innovation of the agricultural sector of the economy of Kazakhstan can be carried out in many areas,
covering both improving methods of state support for agricultural producers and the creation of new
structures such as a cluster. The main criterion for innovative development is the formation of competitive
advantages.
