Abstract
In the structure of modern Russian economy state play a key role in many spheres. Agriculture is one of them. The Russian Federation is the owner of the largest agricultural companies. Russian regions are also shareholders of a few hundred join-stock companies in agriculture sphere. A big number of state agricultural companies are ineffective. One of the reasons is the existing regulation system. It’s far from ideal and generates a number of problems. They have different forms, but all lead to a low profit value or even to bankruptcy. This research is one of few scientific papers on the theme of state agricultural companies in Russia.
