Popis: Grain farming is a strategically important sector of the economy of many countries of the world. The food independence of the state, political stability in the country, export earnings, and the functioning of other branches of the agro-industrial complex depend on the degree of its development. The situation on the national grain market is fundamental for the formation of the conjuncture of many other markets for agricultural products, including food products. In the process of research, based on the use of statistical data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations for 1992-2019 the physical volumes of grain production in Russia and neighboring countries were analyzed. The tendencies of changes in the volume of its exports from the countries of this region of the world are also considered. In Russia, as in other independent states that emerged after the collapse of the USSR, over the past three decades there have been significant changes in the development of grain farming. Practically in all of them, except for Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, in 2019 there is a higher level of gross grain harvest compared to 1992. On a per capita basis, a significant increase (two or more times) is observed in the Baltic countries, Tajikistan, Ukraine. The same indicator has almost doubled in Azerbaijan, Moldova and Uzbekistan, while more modest results are characteristic for Russia. Nevertheless, the achievements obtained in the grain industry of our country in terms of increasing gross harvests and grain exports are undoubtedly a positive fact. However, not all experts are unequivocally positive about the current situation in this branch of agriculture in Russia.
