Abstract: The article noted that the innovative approach places special demands on agricultural market participants, the quality of products, from which depends directly on the welfare of companies and firms — market participants. In situations of chronic underfunding of agricultural sector innovative features seem extremely difficult and active borrowing inhibited by low profit- ability of agricultural production and the high dependence of the performance of the climatic conditions. Innovative activity on farms is problematic because of the low investment attractiveness of the industry. It’s the basic criteria for survival in condi- tions of independence and the development of competition in the market. Studies show that innovative activity of agricultural enterprises is still at a low level, not the results achieved innovation development in agro-industrial development of the produc- tion of new types of products and technologies, reducing research. At the same time, the modern innovative structure of agro- industrial complex should be an effective model of interaction between science, education and industry. In Kabardino-Balkaria successfully operates a number of research institutions of the agrarian sector, such as Kabardino-Balkaria State Agrarian Uni- versity, the Kabardino-Balkaria Institute of Agriculture, North Caucasus Research Institute of mountain and foothill garden- ing and other institutions of agrarian orientation. They conduct comprehensive research on breeding and seed production of major crops, agriculture, plant protection, animal husbandry, economics and land relations. Particular attention is paid to their breeding and seed corn. Thus, at the present time are the basis for innovation development of AIC, and the need for innovation development defines and stimulates the most important directions of scientific activity. The main instruments implementation of innovative strategies is development and implementation of long-term government programs; support modernization of pri- ority for the country (region) directions.
Keywords: innovation development, agro-industrial complex (AIC), research institute.
