	Abstract. One of the important components of agriculture is the transport network, which affects the productivity of agricultural production along with other spatial factors. This influence of road infrastructure is of a rental nature and is a rental factor, and there were factors that affect both the road infrastructure and agriculture, such as terrain conditions (steep slope) that do not allow any agricultural activities and hinder road construction. It is possible to assess the influence of the road infrastructure by means of zoning of geographic information systems. The article studied the districts and urban areas of Krasnodar Krai, including the analysis of the share of suitable land for row farming and the ratio of cultivated areas to the area of land actually suitable for agriculture in terms of geomorphology. The share of the area of the districts involved in the production of crop products in the agriculture of Krasnodar Krai was also determined. The ratio of the total inter-settlement roads to agricultural land and the total productivity of agricultural land were determined. Based on these data, it was revealed that the productivity of agricultural production depends on transport infrastructure. Taking into consideration all factors mentioned above public authorities could decide to improve the efficiency of land use, and agricultural producers can increase economic efficiency as well.
