Abstract: The article presents some data of the analysis of the Russian market of potato 2016-2017. According to the Ministry of agriculture, consumption of potatoes by the Russians in the last decade is steadily growing. Gross potato harvest in Russia in 2017 remained at an average long-term level and amounted to 29.6 million tons. The data of the all-Russian agricultural census of 2016 revealed the fact that the area of potato planting in the households of the population is greatly overstated - by 625 thousand hectares. Experts believe that at present the share of subsidiary farms in the production of potatoes is about 68‰, not 78‰ as previously thought by the statistical authorities. The large-scale sector accounts for about 32‰, instead of the previously claimed 22‰. At the end of 2017, Russia provided itself with potatoes by 90.7‰ with a minimum of 95‰, established by the Doctrine of food security. According to the data of the fruit and Vegetable Union 20‰ of imports-seed potatoes, the average annual volume of imports of table potatoes in Russia is 400-600 thousand tons per year. Potato export from Russia increases from year to year and is produced in the CIS countries by 99‰. The strategy of agricultural production provides that the gross harvest of potatoes by 2030 should grow by 8‰ - up to 32 million tons. According to Rosstat, the ratio of prices of producers and resources for production is the most unfavourable in potato production. Further development of the potato market in Russia is impossible without the modernization of the potato production base.
