Abstract. When considering the problems of economic efficiency of domestic agriculture, “efficiency” remains the key concept. As a complex economic category it has a wide semantic meaning and is classified by many features. In general, by efficiency is understood obtaining the greatest results at the same costs or the same results. For agricultural production, the notion of “economic efficiency” is equally important as an indicator determined by the ratio of the economic effect (result) and the costs that generated this effect. In addition to the existing in the literature interpretations of the concept of “economic efficiency”, the authors’ view on achieving it on the basis of the active use of the professional competencies of the subject of managerial work is proposed. In modern management practice, the term “professional competence” determines the ability of a manager to perform tasks in accordance with specified standards. And it is a characteristic of the personality, allowing to achieve results in work. All professional competencies are realized through management functions. In Russia's agriculture, the level of economic efficiency depends on labor productivity, its payment, the degree of state support, technology; cooperative ties, the development of small forms of management, farms and other factors. Unfortunately, the analysis of the dynamics of agricultural production does not reveal an increase in growth rates in the coming years. Therefore, additional efforts are required to create its competitive advantages.
Keywords: efficiency, economic efficiency, agriculture, professional competence, management functions, measures to increase economic efficiency.
