Subsidizing agricultural production of the region to achieve food security

Abstract

Abstract According to the current Food Security Doctrine, in the Russian Federation, the main indicator of food security is food self-sufficiency. Along with this indicator, we propose to use the self-sufficiency level indicator when planning food security of a certain territory and introduce the concept of the adequacy of state support. Based on calculations, it can be stated that the existing subsidy system of the Samara region is suboptimal in terms of ensuring food security. Subsidies for four product groups are almost equal to agricultural state support in the Samara region, which indicates underfunding of production of these and other product groups.
