The article presents the materials of theoretical and empirical studies on the analysis of import substitution processes in the agricultural sector during the 2020 pandemic. The sides of the food market development for the situation in 2020 are listed. The analysis of foreign trade in various types of food during the pre-pandemic period and 2020 is presented by groups: “Meat and edible meat products” taking into account the level of meat supply of the domestic market by species from 1990-2019; “Fish and crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates” taking into account the catch, export and consumption; “Dairy products; bird eggs; natural honey” taking into account the analysis of imports of certain types of dairy products (milk, butter, whey and cheese), “Vegetables and some edible root vegetables and tubers” taking into account a separate group of growing imports of ginger and garlic, “Edible fruits and nuts; peel of citrus fruits or melons”, “Coffee, tea, mate, or Paraguayan tea and spices”, “Fats and oils of animal or vegetable origin” taking into account the analysis of the import of palm oil. Each group of goods is analyzed from 1990 to 2020 for imports, taking into account the provision of the population with food and the change in the typical volume of imports during the calendar year from the conditions of the import substitution policy and under the influence of the pandemic factor. The features of consumer behavior of the Russian population when purchasing food are analyzed. The staging of food consumption among the Russian population in the context of the COVID pandemic in 2020 is highlighted.
