Abstract: The research carried out a forecast of environmental and economic damage in the period from 2024 to 2034 for agricultural enterprises in the Bryansk, Tula, Oryol and Kaluga regions, which were most contaminated by the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Calculations show that the only region where there are agricultural territories unsuitable for agricultural production is the Bryansk region. The total area of territories with high levels of pollution without reclamation measures during the period under review will decrease from 46 thousand hectares to 37 thousand hectares. The most polluted areas are Novozybkovsky and Gordeevsky districts. Despite the reduction in the area of pollution, the economic damage from the inability to produce crop products will increase from 1.1 to 2.2 billion rubles per year due to inflation. The economic damage from the inability to produce crop products in the period from 2024 to 2034 in the Bryansk region will amount to approximately 14.9 billion rubles.
