Abstract: Due to the dramatic increase in the global population and its projected further increase to 10.4 billion people by 2050, the issue of increasing the production of animal and plant protein arises. Soybean is a crop whose seeds can contain up to 57% of complete, balanced in amino acid composition protein, which can be used for human nutrition. The President of Russia has set the task to “produce original and elite seeds of agricultural plants” until 2026 as part of the development of the agro-industrial complex and ensuring food security of the state. Soybean is included in the list of agricultural crops of special importance for the country's economy, but the average age of varieties of domestic selection on the market is from 10 to 20 years, which is twice as long as the varieties of foreign selection used in Russia. In this regard, the priority task for the state is to develop its own breeding by applying a new digital development model: from preparation for sowing to obtaining varietal seeds. It will significantly improve scientific and analytical support of the breeding process and draft decisions, including those of organizational and economic nature, by modernizing the mechanism for determining the amount and payment of royalties, improving venture mechanisms for financing breeding developments, increasing the share of domestic soybean breeders and processors in the structure of the global market, etc.
