Abstract: The article describes the fundamentals of the formation of spatial economics and the formation of differential land rent in the agrarian sector of Russia. On the basis of the social division of labour, the need for a more adequate allocation of agricultural production in accordance with the natural and economic possibilities of a given territory is prompted. To this end, during the Soviet period, a natural-economic assessment of the entire territory of the country in terms of agriculture was carried out. At the same time, the effect of differential land rent was ignored, which affected the process of more adequate territorial distribution of crops, weakening it in modern conditions due to price disparity and the absolutization of private ownership of land, especially with its “sale and purchase”. To change this situation, a vector of a different “territorial” agrarian institutional policy is needed, in which all sectors of the national identity are interested. The double mediation of the soil in the formation of rent I and II has been established, the rent-forming role of which is manifested and can be realized through the cultivated crop and only by selling its products. With a relatively high yield of a new variety and sales of products, a peculiar differential selection and variety rent arises. The quality (fertility) of the soil itself is indexed only by indirect, moreover, not by cost indicators (content: humus, phosphorus, potassium, trace elements, etc.). Optimization of placement of agricultural crops should be achieved, first of all, by the formation of specialized zones for the production of commercial products.
