Abstract: The introduction of the special economic measures which provide an opportunity for domestic milk producers to replace 22‰ of the dairy market has not led to the increase in milk production. The article reveals the factors determining the low efficiency of milk production and negatively impacting on the solution to the import substitution problems. The measures of the state regulation of the industry which are currently used, the volume and mechanisms of the state support of milk producers are insufficient to improve the investment attractiveness of the industry of dairy cattle breeding and to ensure the producers competitiveness. The volume of the state support of the dairy cattle breeding reduces: from 34367.5 million rubles in 2013 to 23219.2 million rubles in 2015. The part compensation of the direct costs incurred for the creation and (or) modernization of the dairy cattle breeding complexes (dairy farms) will give the significant impulse to increase in the investment activity of the dairy cattle breeding industry. The increasing role of the state regulation of the milk and dairy products market, ensuring conditions of the fair producer’s competition, including the responsibility toughening of the food adulteration, is noted. The complex of measures which will contribute to the solution to the problems of the situation in the dairy cattle breeding and milk import substitution stabilization is defined.
