Abstract: The article is devoted to the economy of maize production in the Krasnodar Territory - one of the main regions of its cultivation. The main indicators of economic efficiency of the production of this crop for grain, silage and green feed for the main natural and climatic zones of the region were considerate. Key problems of increase in production efficiency of corn for the purpose of restoration and development of domestic cattle breeding are investigated that is especially relevant in the conditions of the global economic crisis and consequences of a pandemic of COVID-19. The article contains an analysis of the structure of the cost of maize production. The greatest influence on its value of both grain and green mass is the level of crop yield and the labour intensity of one centner of the produced products. In order to identify unused reserves in improving the efficiency of maize production, the method of grouping was used. At the same time, when setting the goal and objectives of the study, the abstract-logical method was used, as well as comparative analysis - when comparing the indicators of crop production in agricultural organizations of various zones of the region. Studies have found that in order to increase the efficiency of grain production and green corn mass in the Krasnodar Territory, the main importance is: the optimal concentration of its crops, the size of production costs, their share in fertilizers, growth in yield levels and the optimal composition of the farm fleet. This integrated approach will better meet the internal needs of the Russian Federation in this economically viable culture. It was noted that the results obtained can be widely used in the practice of corn-growing regions of the country.
