Abstract: The flax complex of Russia is a complex of agricultural producers, farms on production and processing of flax, the enterprises for release of specialized equipment, scientific crop research institutes. The shortage of flax raw materials in 2016 is due to the lack of competent cross-sectoral strategic planning; timely and sufficient financing of flax-growing farms and flax processing plants; the introduction of promising scientific developments in the field of flax seed; specialized agricultural machinery for cleaning and processing of flax; the low technological discipline at the stage of collecting losira, a predominance of short fibers before long. The main problem of the industry is the lack of interaction between the agricultural and industrial sectors of flax. Correction of the situation is possible only when all directions of flax growing are combined into one complex. The development of the demand for flax in the domestic market requires an increase in gross yield by at least 10-20 thousand tons annually. Although the flax industry has stabilized over the past 5 years and shows a stable gross yield of 40,000 tons with an average yield of 9.5 t/ha, this is not enough to load the main production capacities. Flax growing needs systemic changes and breakthrough technologies for the cultivation, processing and sale of flax products. The purpose of this study is to create a full - cycle flax complex on the example of one of the leaders of the Central Federal district for the production and processing of flax-Smolensk region. The state program of support (subsidy) of flax production at the moment is the most effective tool for introduction of these changes. The article analyzes the state's need for flax in accordance with the strategy of light industry development for the period up to 2020. The financial risks of potential investors in the industry and prospects for its development in accordance with the Federal target program for the development of the flax complex in Russia until 2022.
