Abstract: Sunflower is the main oilseed crop in the Russian Federation, it accounts for 75% of the area of all oilseeds and up to 90% of vegetable oil produced in the country. The fat-and-oil sub complex is a highly profitable, export-oriented sphere of the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation. However, despite the presence of favourable trends in the development of the fat-and-oil sub complex, the potential of oil processing enterprises is not used at full capacity, which is due to an insufficiently developed raw material base. Sunflower is one of the highly productive crops in the Ulyanovsk region. Ranking of municipalities of the Ulyanovsk region by the area of sunflower crops in agricultural organizations allowed us to identify four groups. In some areas, the growth of the sown area of crops in agricultural organizations has exceeded more than 2 times in 10 years.
