Abstract During the 20 th and first quarter of the 21 st century, there have been not only significant quantitative, but also structural changes in grain production close to some central applications of grain: food consumption, fodder consumption, industrial consumption, provision of seed production, foreign trade. Strategic planning of grain production in the country depends on many factors, including changes in grain production and processing technologies, widespread and accelerated integration of selective breeding results, multifactorial modeling of animal diets. The volume of consumption and the structure of cereals in the total volume of production is impacted by such processes as population growth, urbanization and changes in dietary preferences of modern people. One of the most important tasks in the development of the farming industry is to assess some possible prospects for the development of grain growing, with due account for new priorities to come up in the use of the entire biodiversity of cereals. Benchmark analysis of the ratio between the volumes of production, consumption and export-import of grain, rationale for the optimal characteristics of the grain-growing sector of the national economy, as an essential element of strategic potential, represent one of the fundamental interdisciplinary challenges facing modern science.
