Abstract: The article deals with the issues of the spatial organization of agriculture from the point of view of the study of the economic category "division of labour". In particular, it is noted that in modern conditions the basis of the territorial division of labour in the country's agriculture is the development of its productive forces, which naturally contributes to the deepening of the regional specialization of the industry. However, the country is still weakly using its competitive advantages associated with the spatial development of agriculture, which is influenced by many factors, each of which may turn out to be excessive or scarce. Moreover, the impact of each factor on the rational placement and deepening of the industry's specialization occurs not only as a result of changes in its size, but also the ratio of the entire set of interacting factors, which largely determine the complex nature of the spatial organization of agriculture in the country and its individual regions. At the same time, each Russian region, possessing only its inherent competitive capabilities and features, to one degree or another participates in the spatial development of agriculture and its subsectors, thereby contributing to rational placement, deepening of specialization and increased concentration of production of certain types of agricultural products, to effective the functioning of a single national agri-food market.
