Currently, Russia is facing unprecedented sanctions restrictions (at the beginning of 2023, more than 10.5 thousand), as well as military-political resistance from more than 50 developed countries of the world, led by the United States, EU member states, Canada, Japan and Australia. In this tense situation, it is important to maintain socio-economic, social and political stability.

Thus, the research topic is relevant and has a high level of perspective and utilitarian significance. The paper assessed the current state of the food supply of our country, noted the features and problematic aspects of the domestic agricultural market, also proposed promising solutions and highlighted strategic guidelines for the development of the domestic food complex of Russia.
