Abstract: The assessment of the consumption of basic food products over a long period of time, as well as the average per capita monetary income of the population of Kostroma Region is conducted. The population has begun to consume more vegetables; consumption of bread and bakery products, potatoes, milk and dairy products, meat and meat products as well as eggs and egg products has decreased in comparison with the Soviet period of 1990, when food consumption structure was approaching rational food standards. The dynamics of agricultural production in the agricultural sector of Kostroma Region is analysed. The decrease in agricultural land has led to a massive overgrowth of them with tree-shrub vegetation. Violation of cultivation technologies of crops has led to a decrease in their yield, a decrease in production and degradation of arable land. Despite the fact that the dynamic of growth of cow productivity in dairy cattle breeding is observed over the years, gross milk production tends to decrease due to a decrease in the number of cow dairy herds. In conditions of limited resource opportunities, the task of stabilising and increasing the volume of production of competitive agricultural products can be ensured only with targeted implementation of large-scale innovation activities. The organisation of highly efficient agricultural production will provide the population with food products of own production, increase the level of income and improve the quality of life of workers in the agricultural sector.
