The communal infrastructure, affecting the quality of products and sanitary and hygienic working conditions is also of high importance. A special role belongs to transport security, since the quality and availability of transport and logistics networks depends on the effectiveness of marketing activities, supply, optimization and compliance with deadlines. Thestudy of the infrastructure of the agro-industrial complex has revealed a decrease in the rate of modernization associated with the difficult socio-economic situation, taking place against the background of a certain increase in agribusiness indicators in the regions, an increase in the production of certain types of products. The systemic investment process will contribute to improving the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of infrastructure facilities, will entail the development of agro-industrial production, ensuring a decent standard of living, wage growth and employment in rural areas
