Abstract: The article considers the main reasons for the decline in the quality of wheat in the country, which include: irrational placement of wheat crops, almost universal decline in the level of cultivation of this a important for the country of food and export grain crops; loss of close connection of wheat quality with the price of its realization; lack of full-fledged exchange trade in wheat; improper storage conditions of wheat. Given that for Russia, improving the quality of wheat is as important as increasing its gross fees, an integrated approach to solving this problem is proposed. At the same time, special attention should be paid to strengthening the material and technical base of the grain economy by increasing the use of mineral and organic fertilizers, plant protection products, replenishing the machinery-tractor fleet and the construction of industrial-type grain silos. An equally important role in stimulating the growth of high-quality grain is played by the pricing of hard, strong and valuable varieties of wheat. Economic mechanisms may be different, but they should allow agricultural producers to stable plan the efficiency of producing high-quality wheat. Since the problem of improving its quality is complex, then a system of legislative support is needed. One should not allow the long-term interests of the state to be determined by the immediate interests of business. To ensure the quality of wheat produced a significant positive impact on the efficiency of its cultivation and the material interest of agricultural commodity producers, a separate special program is needed to develop the production of high-quality grain of this crop, since in the future, the export of Russian wheat will be determined not by quantity but mainly quality of grain.
