Abstract: In ten leading corn-growing regions of the country (Top-10), the levels of planting and specialization of corn grain production in 2019 are determined, as well as changes in them over two years. The balance of production and use of corn grains in the current 2019/20 agricultural year is shown. The relevance of the study lies in the systematization of the main strategic areas, including those set out in the Long-Term Strategy for the Development of the Grain Complex of the Russian Federation until 2035, which contribute to an increase in gross harvests of corn grain and an increase in export potential, including due to increased placement and specialization. The purpose of the study was to analyze the current state and prospects for the placement and specialization of maize grain production in the grain-producing regions of the country and systematize various factors and main areas that contribute to their growth. The results and key conclusions of the study are strategic directions and proposals for the development of planting and specialization of maize grain production, both in the existing grain wedge of the country and at the expense of new regions with favourable natural and economic conditions, increasing its yield, introducing innovations and other measures.
