Summary: | The slowdown in agricultural growth in Russia determines the development of an innovation base for expanding exports. Therefore, the formation of a new social class of farmers-entrepreneurs, focused on the implementation of innovative activities, becomes relevant. The aim of the study was to develop an econometric model for assessing the economic types of farmers-entrepreneurs according to the system “innovator versus conservative” using the example of the agro-industrial complex. The questionnaire method was used to determine the levels of innovative development of the respondents. The survey was conducted from October 2017 to December 2019; 900 farmers from Tver, Kursk, Tambov, Penza, Arkhangelsk, Kurgan, Leningrad regions, as well as Yakutia took part in it.
