Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems of primary and deep processing of flax in the Russian Federation. The economic efficiency of the primary processing of flax into the same type of undirected fiber with the further production of cotonine from it, pellets from bonfires and fresh vegetable mass is analyzed. Despite the support programs carried out by the state in recent years, the area of flax sowing in 2021 decreased by 24.5% compared to 2020. This can be explained by poor quality seeds, low demand for domestic flax fiber due to poor quality and the lack of faith of agricultural producers in the prospects for the development of flax production. Given the difficult economic situation, it became necessary to analyze the work of the flax plant, equipment for the production of the same type of fiber, cotonine, fuel pellets from bonfires and fresh vegetable mass, prices for pellets in order to determine the economic efficiency of primary and deep processing of flax. The domestic machines presented in the article, which include equipment for the production of pellets from bonfires, will make it possible to obtain, in addition to flax cotonine, chemically and biologically safe fuel from renewable raw materials and make production waste-free. The ASGB-1 pelletizing complex is designed for processing both bonfires and grasses, which makes it possible to produce natural protein-vitamin feed for animals and poultry on the basis of the flax plant. For the first time, it was proposed and justified the production of feed pellets from fresh plant matter at the flax plant, which will allow to receive additional income, use free labour resources in rural areas, as well as provide livestock and poultry farms with feed. Primary and deep processing of flax with the production of pellets from bonfires and vegetable matter on the equipment in question is cost-effective and has an acceptable payback period. The results of the analysis can help flax mills modernize or diversify their production in order to increase economic efficiency.
