Abstract: The purpose of the study is to justify the revision of the list of agro-industrial centers taking into account the changes that have occurred in the industry since the adoption of the Strategy for the Spatial Development of Russia, as evidenced by the increase in the share of agriculture in the structure of the gross regional product with the remaining share of officially recognized agro-industrial centers in total agricultural production. Based on the analysis of state statistics on the development of agriculture in Russian regions, it is proved that a number of subjects of the Russian Federation, which were not previously included in the list of agro-industrial centers, make a greater contribution to the development of the industry and the country than some agro-industrial centers. Based on the results of the analysis, it is proposed in the updated Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation to expand the list of agro-industrial centers to include the Oryol, Ryazan, Tula, Orenburg, Saratov and Omsk regions, as well as the Republic of Dagestan. The reason for inclusion in this list is that the listed subjects of the Russian Federation fully meet the domestic demand for agricultural products and act as large suppliers of food to the Russian market, produce a larger volume of agricultural products than some officially recognized agro-industrial centers, which means they can have a greater impact on development the Russian economy.
