Goal. The analysis of the properties and quality indicators of the agricultural crops stems biomass intended for the goods production of various aplication. Method. Theoretical studies were conducted using the methods of analysis, synthesis, scientific abstraction, and an integrated approach. The results presented in the article are based on the analysis of statistical data available in Ukrstat, FAOSTAT, as well as experimental research data obtained during the harvest period in 2019-2022 in field conditions. Results. The article considered agricultural crops grown mainly for obtaining grain. However, the state of the economy and the environment created the need for the complex use of such crops. As a result of the conducted research, it was established that the properties of agricultural crops are important for the creation of new types of products from biomass (residues) of stems. As a result of the research, the main properties that characterize the possibility of processing the biomass of the stems of agricultural crops into products (fuel, building materials, fiber) have been established. Such properties include moisture, resistance to cutting, density in rolls. As a result of the conducted research, properties and indicators were summarized for such crops as flax, wheat, corn, and sunflower. Practical significance. The results can be used during the comprehensive assessment of the products quality from the agricultural crops stems biomass, as well as for the design of new machines and devices and their use by agricultural enterprises during harvesting
