Abstract: The article gives a detailed assessment of the level of economic development of all federal districts of Russia, notes the contribution of each to the country's food fund. The authors consider the role of agriculture in the Russian economy in the long-term dynamics, note interregional differences in the level of development of the industry and their cause. The article convincingly shows the importance of territorial division of labour and interregional specialization in solving the food problem. The multidimensional rating assessment of economic development varies by federal districts from 59 to 123%, which indicates extremely uneven development. Based on the rating assessment, the federal districts are identified as leaders and outsiders in terms of the level of development of the agricultural industry, the leading agricultural holdings in each region producing the main types of food are listed. The article highlights the most problematic federal districts with low incomes and nutrition levels that do not meet medical standards, which is explained by the low effective demand of the population. In all regions, without exception, milk consumption is 16-36% below the norm, although the self-sufficiency of the Russian Federation as a whole with this group of products exceeded the threshold indicator of the Food Security Doctrine. In this regard, urgent measures are needed to increase the incomes of the population.
