Summary. The practical interest in social capital as the tool of increase in the efficiency of business entities began to rise with the entry of Russia into the WTO. According to the WTO principles the direct support of agricultural producers, already insufficient, is a tool not valid in the framework of the integrated group. At the same time activities aimed at the development of social capital in rural areas, do not directly stimulate the increase in the production, and are not subject to restrictions, and can therefore contribute to sustainable socio-economic development. In the modern scientific literature the term "social capital" is widely used by psychologists, sociologists, political scientists and economists. A wide variety of conceptual approaches to the problems of social capital means that this term defines the area of intersection of research interests that allows for a constructive interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and methods of scientific research. As a result of studying of features of formation of social capital of rural areas of Belgorod region it can be argued that the region has a fairly high level of socio-economic development. A characteristic feature of this sustainable development is the widespread establishment of holding units in the agricultural sector, which can effectively produce the main types of agricultural products, realizing economies of scale. However, formation of holdings does not pay sufficient attention to the conditions for the effective formation of social capital of rural areas. The development and strengthening of social capital of rural areas of the Belgorod region is a significant reserve to reduce transaction costs at all stages of the production process from procurement of resources to the sale of products by enterprises under various forms of management in agriculture.
Keywords: social capital, institute of trust, Belgorod region, socio-economic situation, rural areas, agricultural holding.
