The purpose of the study is to assess the availability of fixed assets in agricultural organizations of the Penza region and identify major trends in changes of provision indicators. Materials and methods. Information resources were the results of scientific research of leading scientists in the field of the use of fixed assets, as well as data generated by the authors on the basis of official statistical materials. For the analytical processing of data, a systematic approach, economic and statistical methods, including the method of grouping were used. Results. The research has calculated and systematized the indicators of provision of agricultural organizations with fixed assets for the period from 2012 to 2020, identified trends in their change. The indicators of availability and load of the main types of equipment were analyzed in comparison with the average indicators for the Russian Federation and the Volga Federal District (VFD). The rating assessment of the regions of the Volga Federal District by the availability of fixed assets in agriculture was carried out. The grouping of 129 agricultural organizations of the Penza region was carried out in order to identify the impact of capital equipment on the efficiency of production. Conclusions.
