Opportunities and threats to the development of the agrarian sector are identified by means of PEST analysis (political, economic, social and technological factors) with the use of expert assessments and the model of influence of factors (volume of capital investments, amount of expenditures of general and special fund and indirect state support) on the key indicator of development is the volume of agrarian gross domestic product. It was established that the volume of agrarian gross domestic product is most influenced by the amount of indirect state support (due to the special VAT regime of activity in the field of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, as well as fisheries and at the expense of a fixed agricultural tax (of the fourth group single tax)).
