Abstract: International trade stimulates the mobilization and more efficient use of the potential of the economy of a country promotes productivity and income. The development of trade in agricultural products and increasing export potential is one of the most important directions of the agricultural policy of the Russian Federation, as well as the coordinated agricultural policy of the EAEU. China, as a trading partner, is of great interest because it is the largest consumer and producer of food not only in Southeast Asia, but also in the world. In recent years, trade between Russia and China has grown significantly, although from Russia to a greater extent. In 2016-2017, China took the first place in the Russian trade turnover of agricultural goods. Achieving a more balanced level of mutual trade is possible provided that the various trade barriers currently in place, especially on the part of the PRC, are eliminated or reduced. To achieve this goal, certain measures are being taken in both countries, as well as in the EAEU, including the conclusion of new trade agreements, bilateral and multilateral consultations, the development and implementation of joint projects in the agricultural sector and exhibitions of agricultural products and food. Russia has great opportunities to increase the production of agricultural raw materials and food not only to meet domestic needs, but also to export. However, to realize this potential, it is important to create conditions for improving the efficiency and competitiveness of domestic agriculture, improve the investment climate in the country.
