Abstract: The research work included the study of certain issues of buckwheat cultivation, the dynamics of acreage and yield in the Altai Territory. In the structure of the grain wedge, depending on the natural and economic zone of the region, buckwheat is allocated from 1 to 9% of arable land, but the crop yield does not exceed 10 c/ha with a biological potential of more than 25 c/ha. It is proposed to increase the yield of buckwheat by introducing into production certain improved technological techniques and a new method of harvesting. The volume of buckwheat grain produced using the implemented technology has increased to 50 tons on an average of 242 hectares over 6 years. Buckwheat is a widespread and in-demand cereal crop in the Russian Federation, since it is a necessary human food product and is characterized by high taste, nutritional and dietary properties. In addition, buckwheat is important in beekeeping, as a medicinal raw material and forage crop. The article identifies the problems hindering the increase in buckwheat production, and suggests mechanisms for their solution. The results of research on buckwheat production in Russia and abroad are presented, a historical assessment of its origin and current state is given, and development prospects are substantiated. The study determined that the average yield of buckwheat in recent years in Russia in 1993-2002 was 5.6 c/ha, in 2003-2012 it increased to 8.1 c/ha, in 2013-2022 it reached 10.0 c/ha. These indicators indicate the favorable dynamics of buckwheat production in the country, which is also in demand in the modern world community.
