【 摘 要 】

The article notes the special importance of the turnover of food products and agricultural raw materials in international trade. Based on the analysis performed, it was revealed that despite the positive dynamics in the structure of foreign trade in food products (reduction of imports and increase in exports), the trade balance of these products remains negative. To overcome this trend, it is necessary to solve a set of tasks related to the growth of production and increase of competitiveness. In order to identify the price competitiveness of domestic agri-food products, a comparative analysis of the competitiveness of average producer prices and export prices for the main types of products in 2013-2017 was carried out in the Russian Federation and in the leading countries in the export of these products in the world. The study shows that Russian prices were competitive in most of the considered types of agri-food products. The result of the import substitution policies in recent years was the growth of production and the reduction of imports for a number of agri-food products. In addition, the depreciation of the national currency ensured the growth of competitiveness of domestic agri-food products on the world market and led to an increase in exports. In order to increase the competitiveness of products, it is necessary to consistently reduce production and logistics costs, reduce losses through the use of innovative technologies, and improve product quality. In order to systematically increase agricultural exports, it is necessary to create a modern export infrastructure, form an effective system of branding and promotion of Russian agri-food products, develop a coordinated system of measures of state support for non-primary exports.
