Abstract. In modern conditions, characterized by the tightening of sanctions pressure, it is important to maintain the position of the agricultural sector of the economy of the subjects of the Russian Federation as an industry responsible for the country’s food security. In this regard, it is important to ensure the sustainability of agriculture by maintaining the level of investment development and preserving the investment attractiveness of the regions. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the positions of the subjects of the Russian Federation, which are part of the Ural macroregion, in the country’s space in terms of investment development of the agricultural sector, confirming the development (lag) of the agricultural sector of the regions based on the dynamics of the formed group of indicators. Methods. The main method used in this article is structural and dynamic, as well as methods of comparative analysis, tabular and graphical visualization, which allowed us to substantiate the positions of the subjects of the macroregion according to the selected indicators over a 10-year period. The scientific novelty of the work consists in the development and testing of a methodology for structural, dynamic and comparative analysis, which contains a well-founded list of indicators reflecting production factors, industry and territorial specifics, which makes it possible to identify the level of development of the agricultural sector in each constituent entity of the Russian Federation, which is part of the Ural macroregion, as well as to identify trends in the investment development of agriculture in the macroregion as a whole against the background of nationwide trends. Results. Based on the group of indicators formed by the authors, the analysis of the development of the agricultural sector of the subjects of the Ural macroregion for 2014–2023 was carried out, and the trends of its advance (lag) relative to the average Russian level were identified. It is determined that despite the overall positive dynamics of the development of agriculture in the macroregion, it lags behind the national average, which creates limitations and risks for the future development of the industry. The practical significance of the conducted research lies in the possibility of their use by regional authorities to develop targeted measures aimed at supporting the agricultural sector of individual regions within the macroregion of the results of outperformance (or lagging behind) the dynamics of selected indicators of the selected type of economic activity, among which there is insufficient attention to certain areas of industry development.
