The methodological scheme of the analysis, assessment and monitoring of human capital, taking into account the functional features of the development of the agricultural sector, is presented. A methodological approach to the quantitative assessment of human capital in the agroindustrial complex is proposed and tested, based on the conceptual foundations of the theory of human capital and at the same time characterized by the relative simplicity of calculations, as well as the availability of statistical information. The analysis of the ratio of physical and human forms of capital in the agroindustrial complex is carried out and the assessment of the existing innovative shifts is given.
