Abstract: The analysis of the dynamics of livestock and domestic production of cattle meat was carried out and Russia's contribution to the global output of this type of product was determined. The influence of the transformations of beef cattle breeding on the level of meat supply to the population, including the quality and balance of diets in the country, has been established. The current trends in the development of the livestock sub-sector under consideration are analyzed, taking into account the economic, technological and environmental conditions of production in countries with a fairly large population, arable land and cattle. A comparison of productivity indicators has been carried out and the features of production technologies in beef cattle breeding in these countries have been established, taking into account the actual availability of land and biological resources. A methodological approach to comparing the productivity of arable land and natural pastures in countries located in different climatic conditions of cattle meat production is proposed, and the author's estimates of the land potential of Russian beef cattle breeding are given. A comparative analysis of the market conditions for the development of this sub-sector in the leading countries has been performed, taking into account the difference in per capita consumption and price conditions for meat of different types. The analysis of the distribution of beef cattle in Russia has been carried out and recommendations for the development of meat clusters in the country have been given. The results obtained in the course of the study are compared with the results of research in a similar subject area published in Russian periodicals.
