Abstract

The formation and development of agro-food market at the national and regional levels are accompanied by objective difficulties, which have different nature of origin. A solution of the key task to meet the population's needs for affordable and high-quality food is in many respects in the area of product promotion to the end user and related problems. In this regard, the authors can conclude that the agro-food market in its present form is the most problematic aspect of activities of Russian agricultural producers. Existing restrictions on the supply of food from some countries have given a certain impetus for the development of agro-industrial complex (AIC) and an increase in the competitiveness of agricultural products. In general, for the period of 2013-2017, the self-sufficiency of the Russian Federation with food has increased, the targets of Food Security Doctrine for providing grain, potatoes, sugar, vegetable oil, meat have been fulfilled. The production of cattle, fruit and vegetable products, eggs remains a problem. At the same time, there is a stable dependence of domestic AIC on imported supplies of seed, selection and breeding material, which does not allow talking about full-value import substitution. In this case, the state support of the scientific and innovative environment, ensuring the necessary level of communication between all market players, regulation of land relations, comes to the forefront. The important direction in the development of the agro-food market at the regional level is an interregional trade. The agro-food market of the Tambov region has features typical for most regions of Russia. It requires significant improvement of production and logistics infrastructure, the formation of the favorable investment climate, renewal of fixed assets, a solution of demographic and personnel problems. Nevertheless, in the Tambov region, there are prerequisites for increasing the investment attractiveness of the agricultural sector, meeting the demand in the regional agro-food market through domestic production.
