Abstract: The article compares the average consumption of the main food groups in the Russian Federation, the North-East of Russia and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). According to the results of the studies, it was found that in general, the average per capita consumption of analyzed food products in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is higher than the average in the regions of the North-East of Russia, except for the consumption of vegetables and food melons in 2019 (lower by 4.2%). The features of food consumption depending on the territory of residence are revealed. In the republic, there is an extremely significant differentiation in the level of consumption of food products by the population. When studying average consumption standards, these indicators should be considered in terms of seasonality, territory (types of settlements), and ethnic characteristics. If seasonal fluctuations in consumption are explained mainly by natural causes associated with changes in air temperature and the physiological state of the human body, then territorial ones are caused by reasons that are mainly economic and geographical in nature: the economic specialization of the territory, the degree of its economic development, natural and climatic conditions, etc.
