Abstract

Food security is a strategic element of the state’s economic policy, which allows to provide quality food not only to the population of the state, but also to carry out export activities. The growing trend of demand for ecological products all over the world allows Russia to develop the production of organic and ecologically clean products, occupying a stable segment in the world market. Organic agriculture is the most popular alternative to traditional agriculture in the world; the volume of the global organic food market has been increasing annually for a long time. An analytical review of the state of the world and national markets for organic agricultural products is presented in various aspects: agricultural land area, concentration of producers, international trade. The place of Russia in the world market of organic agricultural products has been determined. The key trends, problems and prospects for the development of organic agricultural production in Russia are highlighted. The presented data demonstrate the continuation of the positive trend in demand for organic products in developed countries. The Russian market is characterized by the following: high average annual growth rates of organic lands; increasing the share of land for the production of organic agricultural products; unstable number of producers; stabilization of the volume of the internal market for organic products at the level of 120 million euro; stabilization of the export volume of organic products at the level of 4 million euro. The production of organic products is advisable in local product markets, since the production of organic products is a product with high added value, increased requirements for certification of organic products and a narrow segment of consumers.
