The article is devoted to topical issues of innovative development of the modern agricultural industry of Ukraine. The development of a mechanism for supporting innovative development involves the careful development of a framework that outlines the structure and functions of the support system. This framework should clearly define the objectives of the mechanism, such as fostering a culture of innovation, strengthening research capacity and facilitating technology transfer. In addition, scoping the mechanism ensures that it meets the specific needs and challenges that scientists face in their pursuit for innovation. Key components of the mechanism may include research and development, funding mechanisms, capacity building programs for entrepreneurs, and partnerships with academic institutions and agricultural producers. The involvement of various stakeholders, including public institutions, private sector actors and civil society organizations, is essential for the success of an innovation support mechanism.

Special attention is paid to the assessment of the informational and infrastructural component of supporting the innovative development of the agricultural sector of Ukraine. The need to create an information system of the regional innovation infrastructure for the effective implementation of innovative activities and the introduction of innovations within the region is substantiated. The main task of the system is the production of information necessary for the organization to effectively manage its resources, the implementation of a technical environment for managing activities. Today, a significant inhibition of the development of innovative activity occurs due to the lack of necessary informational interaction of all participants in the process, lack of connections between developers and consumers of innovations, information opacity and low motivation for development, financing and commercial implementation of innovations. Only the strategic focus of the enterprise on innovative management is the provision of complex innovative activity, which will allow to preserve and improve the scientific and technical potential both within the region and throughout the country, will help solve the issue of overcoming the decline in production, changing the nomenclature of products, creating technologically new products, new production processes and management systems at enterprises, contributes to the real and competitive entry of new high-tech products into the markets of goods and services.
