Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the dynamics and current state of investment in fixed assets of small and medium-sized enterprises in the agricultural sector of Russia. The influence of the level of investment on the development of the small and medium-sized business sector in agriculture is shown by evaluating the data on the revenue from the sale of products by these enterprises, as well as the profitability of sales. The factors hindering the development of these enterprises are identified: insufficient access to financial services; lack of involvement of banks in the investment process; weak development of project financing tools; difficulty in obtaining "economies of scale"; lack of qualified personnel; poor infrastructure; low use of digital technologies; high depreciation of fixed assets. Measures to increase investment in small and medium-sized enterprises in the agricultural sector are presented.
