The regions role in Russian food security

Abstract

The food security issue has always been important for every country. Population food provision satisfies primary needs of citizens. In this article, the authors proposed analysis of agricultural production indicators in Novosibirsk region and possible scenarios of development.

Issue research showed that Russia still depends on food imports despite the world's largest agricultural potential. The macroeconomic situation with economic sanctions and political instability leads to activate the internal capabilities of the country. Results of research shows that today Russia has good chances for the development of domestic agricultural production. However, will state contribute to the agricultural development or will it just replace old importers by new ones – it is still an open question.
