Abstract: The relevance of this article is due to the need to fill the existing gap in research on the impact of government support measures on the tendency to concentration of agricultural producers and the formation of an integrated market structure. Since sectoral efficiency in the field of agricultural production depends on the processes of concentration of participants, an additional analysis of this process is necessary in the context of stimulating its measures of state support. The purpose of the article is to study the impact of government support measures on the market structure of agricultural producers in the Sverd- lovsk region. The methodical approach to the study is based on the use of the tools of correlation analysis and the definition of
interrelations by the market share / amount of support parameters. The obtained results suggest that there are no trends in the concentration of agricultural producers in the Sverdlovsk region, which leads to the rejection of the advantages of large-scale agricultural production, both at the level of individual business entities and in the scale of the regional economy. The observed characteristics identified in the analysis of the Herfindahl – Hirschman index coincide with data on the organizational status of the work of existing farms in the Sverdlovsk region and, in aggregate, confirm the hypothesis of a study on the observability of processes to reduce the market concentration of agricultural producers. As a result of the study, the hypothesis about the im- pact of state support measures on the downsizing of the market of agricultural producers was confirmed, the complex of state support measures existing at this stage disintegrate the market. It should be noted that the orientation of modern approaches in the management of the agricultural complex, aimed at the formation of a multivariate scheme of production in combination with the variety of types of enterprises in this market leads to a significant disaggregation of farms of raw materials.
