【 摘 要 】

Transformation of market structures in agri-food markets has had a negative impact on the dynamics of food prices. The current situation of volatility in food prices is determined by the following accelerated economic growth in China and other countries in Southeast Asia, a lack of investment in the agricultural sector in all developing countries, the low level of implementation of innovative technologies, strengthening the problem of the impoverishment of the soil and frequent crop failures, unstable level of the dollar, reducing the profitability of export activities, the diversification of consumption of cereals including through expanding the production of biofuels and speculation on the world market. In relation to Russia these processes are so important in modern conditions, as the level of industrialization of the agricultural sector since the 1960s, was one of the best in the world (with the exception of energy efficiency) and now meets international standards. The transition to a market economy has enabled the liberalization of markets, substitution of food production by biofuels is not happening because of low energy prices, therefore, the Russian food markets less dependent on price volatility in the international market. Nevertheless, in General, strengthening the processes of concentration that occurs in the Russian market is the reason for the improvement of regulatory instruments structures of food markets and increasing food security.
