Abstract: The authors consider the issues of determining the specialization of the Siberia regions for the main strategic agricultural product - grain crops. The specialization of the main grain-producing territories in the Altai and Krasnoyarsk Territory, Omsk and Novosibirsk Regions is growing. Due to the improvement of climatic conditions of higher quality, grain will be produced in the Altai Territory; this will contribute to the further development of processing industries and the expansion of the region’s export capabilities. Import of food and feed grain will prevail in the Republic of Altai, Tuva, Khakassia, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Tomsk Regions. Analysis of the current state of the agri-food and grain market in Siberia identifies the main problem areas: development of storage infrastructure, deep processing, expansion of sales markets. The average annual grain production in 2035 will amount to 20.0-22.0 million tons, of which 1,830 thousand tons for food, 1978 for seeds, 10,545 for feed, and 215 thousand tons for technical purposes.
