Abstract: Modern conditions of increasing dependence of the country on its own resources predetermine the search for new approaches to the assessment and development of the agro-food market, an important source and underused reserve of which is the spatial organization of local markets. The achievement of stable food supply, which is subject to the influence of internal conditions and external threats, justifies the need to assess the state and development of the market in the spatial aspect. The problem of spatial development of agrarian markets currently arouses considerable interest on the part of researchers and practitioners; at the same time, the methodological tools for assessing local agrarian markets, which allow to form a clear idea of their state and organization in space, are poorly developed. The methodological tools for assessing local agrarian markets, allowing forming a clear picture of their state and organization in space, are poorly developed. The unresolved nature of a number of debated issues of spatial analysis of local agricultural markets in the context of the transition from globalization to regionalization, which affected all sectors and caused metamorphoses in agriculture, determines the importance and practice-oriented significance of this study, predetermines its methodological and empirical value. The paper studies the definition of “local market” and identifies the characteristic features that are important for the development of a methodological approach to the analysis of the state and spatial development of local agrarian markets. The author's methodological approach is proposed, which includes the following stages: expert-analytical, calculation-analytical and the stage of interpretation of the results obtained. The system of indicators, grouped into 4 blocks, allowing assessing the main spatial characteristics of the market, reflecting the level of food supply, density and concentration of commodity resources of the market, the importance of local segments for the national market and the development of inter-regional ties. The proposed methodological approach has been tested, as a result of which local meat markets in the Central Federal District have been identified.
