The implementation of organizational and economic activities, the most important of which is the mechanism of state support, is ensured by high efficiency of land use while maintaining soil fertility. In order to adapt to the requirements of the WTO, the order of distribution and the provision of subsidies to decoupled support to farmers in crop production (per hectare subsidies) was introduced in Russia since the beginning of 2013. These payments are directed to the compensation of the costs for the purchase of fertilizers and plant protection chemicals, financing measures to improve soil fertility and soil quality. The order of per hectare subsidies to farmers in specific subject of the Russian Federation is fixed on regional legislative level. In addition, each region has the right to establish its own criteria for budget allocation. The main conditions of the subsidy per hectare in the Krasnodar region are sown area under crops, the area sown to perennial grasses, and the area on which organic fertilizers have ever been put.This approach will contribute to the unjustified expansion of acreage by land users in the conditions of extensive production in violation of the science-based zonal technologies of field crops cultivation and, consequently, a violation of the process of soil fertility reproduction. In order to overcome the problem, the regional criteria for granting per hectare subsidies are specified in the article. They include not only traditional terms but also the level of land use efficiency and its quality, which will promote economic entities in the area for more efficient implementation methods of soil fertility reproduction
