Abstract: Agro export is a strategically important area of development for many regions of the Russian economy, given the growing role of agriculture and Russia's leading position in the global market of cereals, oilseeds, fish and meat. Studying the experience of domestic and foreign scientists provides a multifaceted understanding of the factors affecting the country's export potential and creates the basis for the formation of an effective foreign economic policy. However, this sector faces a number of challenges, including infrastructural constraints, regional specifics, dependence on a narrow range of importing countries, difficulties with product certification, and climate risks. The key objectives remain to increase competitiveness, develop processing, and introduce innovative technologies. The analysis of the dynamics of exports of Russian agro-industrial products for 2019-2024 has been carried out, which has made it possible to identify the main export products and key markets by year. Based on the identified trends, a forecast of exports of agro-industrial products has been developed for four main categories of exported products: cereals, fat and oil products, fish and seafood, as well as meat products. The authors identified problems and promising areas for the development of exports of Russian agro-industrial products, revealed systemic problems and recommendations for the development of Russian exports. The article examines the existing barriers, government support mechanisms, and prospects for market diversification. Strategies for overcoming challenges and increasing the export potential of Russian regions in the context of global competition are discussed. The main problems of agricultural exports include low labor productivity, lack of technology, weak product competitiveness, insufficient transportation infrastructure, complex regulation, limited access to finance, and insufficient awareness of business about export opportunities.
