Priority Directions for Ensuring Food Security of Russia, Taking Into Account the Analysis of the Strong and Weaknesses of Country Economy

The concept of the long-term social and economic development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2020 sets the country’s purpose of meeting the needs of the domestic market. The consequence of this is active support for the development of rural areas and increasing the competitiveness of the agro-industrial complex. It is important to increase the efficiency of use of available land resources. Moreover, in the context of the WTO, it is advisable to actively use tariff and non-tariff restrictions to properly regulate imports. The main directions of import substitution were determined in order to ensure food security in the Russian Federation. The priority of them are: the production of milk and dairy products, pork, poultry, fish. 1, p. 230. Greenhouse farming is developing widely. The cultivation of garden and fruit trees is actively invested. But all these areas have both strengths and weaknesses. Actively support the activities of farms and personal subsidiary farms. But in this case, producers face not only the difficulties of organizing and registering their own business, but also the problems of promoting their products to the consumer, i.e. directly to the counter. The elimination of a large number of intermediaries and bureaucratic barriers to additional documentation will allow farmers to increase their profits and reduce production costs. Russia has the necessary assets to realize the goals set by the State Program for the Development of agriculture and regulation of agricultural products, raw materials and food for the years 2013-2020. At the same time, the most basic advantages are the vast areas of agricultural land, the available factors of production, labor resources, etc. It is necessary for the state to organize their effective use and application in order to achieve the set tasks and provide the necessary support. Russia’s trade on the international market in the WTO at the present stage is carried out with the existence of certain advantages and disadvantages. But this makes it possible for the country’s leadership to increase production capacity and increase the competitiveness of Russian products, taking into account the existing opportunities and threats.
