Abstract: The need for assessment of a contribution of regions of the Russian Federation to food supply of the country constantly arises at scientific research and in practical activities of governing bodies. Often for these purposes in practice a traditional method of simple ranging of regions on production of this or that type of production of agriculture are used. The automated information systems of monitoring of food security formed now at the federal level aren't brought to a working stage yet, are very bulky and will be hardly convenient for the solution of the tasks designated above. It is offered to define a contribution of territorial subjects of the Russian Federation to food supply of the country, both with use of food balances of Rosstat, and on the basis of indexes of localization of volumes of production - agricultural production in regions concerning population in them. Application of indexes of localization allows to correct some shortcomings connected with use in calculations of food balances, to establish the nature of unevenness in territorial placement of the production of separate types of agricultural production. Check with use of a method of correlation of ranks of Spirmen of a hypothesis of efficiency of calculations of indexes of localization has confirmed applicability them for assessment of a contribution of regions of the Russian Federation to formation of food resources. Coefficients of correlation of the ranks estimated according to the index of localization of the corresponding food product have made on potatoes 0.84, milk and milk products - 0.91, vegetables and melon cultures - 0,93, to eggs and products - 0.97, to meat and meat products - 0.98. Differentiation of deposits of territorial subjects of the Russian Federation to food meat resources is shown at creation of a curve of Lorentz. Production of pigs and bird at which in 8 territorial subjects of the Russian Federation 45.6‰ and 44.7‰ are concentrated, respectively, is most unevenly placed. The specialized meat cattle breeding hasn't exerted such strong impact on concentration of production yet.
