Abstract: The relevance of a research of market condition of potatoes is caused by value of this culture both for the certain Russian consumer and for national economy in general. The last decade, the specific annual consumption of potatoes is about 110 kg per person. A more detailed study of the indicators of production and consumption of the root crop will make it possible to draw conclusions about the state of the potato market in Russia, as well as about the level of the country's food security. The article discusses various problems faced by the sub-industry of crop production, the most significant of which are the lack of a system of selection and seed production, the low level of supply of stores, the lack of qualified personnel. As a result of the small financing and the lack of due attention of the state authorities to this sub-sector, the existing problems are only increasing. Low yields and annually reducing crop areas of culture also indicate an extensive development path for potato production. Increasing the share of federal and regional authorities in solving the existing problems in the sub-sector will increase the achieved indicators of the gross harvest of potatoes, which will contribute to achieving the level of food security declared in the Doctrine for this crop by 95‰.
