Abstract: The principle of complete regional food self-sufficiency in the difficult conditions of the Far North is impossible due to the limited natural resources, however, the provision of basic food products by local producers in the foreseeable future is an objective necessity. In addition, the stability of the resource component in the regional food market at the expense of local products will make it possible to have a significant decreasing effect on the level of retail prices, prevent the monopolization of local markets by suppliers of imported products, and also solve the problems of social protection of vulnerable segments of the population. The efficiency of agricultural production is predetermined, among other things, by the organization of rational use of productive lands. Analysis of the state of agricultural land use has great importance for the study of the prospects for the development of the agro-industrial complex in the region. The article assesses the structure of agricultural land in the Murmansk region, its types, and their use by different forms of ownership. The dynamics of land use from 1990 to 2020 for agricultural production have been studied. The analysis of the equipment of agricultural producers’ land in the Murmansk region with material and technical means is carried out. It is recommended to improve measures of regional and state support for agricultural producers and create a new agro-service service in the region providing the agricultural producer with a wide range of consulting assistance, affordable conditions for the introduction of innovations into production, for the purchase and service of specialized machinery and equipment, veterinary and phytosanitary services.
