Abstract: Poultry industry is the most dynamically developing sector of agriculture, which is able to contribute meeting population’s needs in nutritious and healthy foods at the same time helping to implement the general programme of agricultural exports through the development and strengthening of the industry’s production capacity.Russian poultry is the only branch in the agro-industrial complex that was able in short term (from 1997 to 2017) to increase poultry meat production output 7 times, eggs - by 37‰. However, not all regions are able to provide the population with these products. In the Far Eastern Federal District the level of self-sufficiency in poultry meat and eggs is low and stands at 22‰ and 63‰ respectively. Providing the population of the Far East with products, in particular poultry products, is a priority.Due to its favourable geographical location (proximity to major Asian markets - China, Japan), the Far Eastern Federal District may become a key export region for poultry products. The aim of this article is to analyse the current state of the poultry industry in the Far Eastern Federal District and its potential for the development of the industry. Based on the results of the analysis recommendations have been made for forming the regional market of poultry products.
