Promising areas for improving the efficiency of foreign economic activity in the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation

The article presents a comprehensive economic and statistical analysis of the development of foreign economic activity (FEA) of the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation in the period from 2000 to 2025. Based on the comparison of retrospective data from Rosstat and operational information from industry departments for 2025, the key stages of the transformation of the national AIC model are identified: from critical import dependence to achieving food sovereignty and leadership in global markets. Current trends of 2025 are considered: a 3.3% increase in the agricultural production index, an increase in the physical volumes of meat exports against the backdrop of opening new Asian markets (Philippines, China), and the expansion of the geography of leguminous crops supplies (Jordan). Particular attention is paid to the problem of high volatility of world wheat prices and the impact of tariff regulation (export duties) on the profitability of producers.
