Abstract: Globalization of the world economy created new opportunities for its development. However, the benefits from the globalization spread unevenly, that causes the contradiction between the developed and developing countries. Existing international institutes protect the interests of their founders’ countries, who determined the rules, conditions and principles of their activity. In the economically weak states, the life level decreases that don’t contribute to the solving of starvation and malnutrition problems in the world. Nowadays process of regionalization is carried out at the time of globalization. This contributes to the protection of geopolitical and economical interests of agreements parties. Imposition of sanctions against Russia, hidden food export restrictions are directed against our country, as well as the importers. Non fulfilment of earlier concluded contracts on the supply of production is not only decrease of export, but also discredit of Russia as a reliable trade partner. At the same time problems of food supply for the population in the countries-importers are exacerbated. This allows western countries exerting pressure on the governments of national countries when solving international problems. Aspiration of Russia to integrate into the world economy didn’t find support from the West. They consider participation of our country in global economy only as supplier of raw materials and production sales market. Therefore, Russia needs to strengthen its positions on the global market and expand the geography of provisions. Nowadays domestic agrifood complex not only ensures the country's food security, but also annually increases export supplies. However, the import component remains significant in production, which makes it vulnerable. Therefore, in the fundamental areas, the output of the agrifood complex should be based on domestic developments. Participation of the federation subjects in the food export depends on the concentration of agrarian production in the region. Leading positions in the export are occupied by the south regions of the country, subjects of the federation with the developed commercial fishing and also subjects with large logistic hubs.
