At the same time, there are a number of serious problems in the development of the food industry of the Russian Federation. The purpose of this article was not only the identification and generalization of the above problems, but also the rationale for problem solving. The leading scientific method of research was the method of quantitative and qualitative analysis, as well as comparative economic analysis. As a result of the conducted studies, based on the analysis of available statistical data, several of the most important problems in the development of the food industry in Russia were formulated. The approach proposed by the authors of the article is novel and represents the most probable ways to increase the efficiency of the development of the food industry of the Russian Federation within the framework of the national policy of import substitution aimed at ensuring the country's food security.
