Abstract: Retail food markets remain the main channels of food sales to domestic consumers. This article presents the results of research and typologization of local retail markets on the example of administrative units (districts) of six regions of the Volga Federal District. Three groups of districts were allocated for each subject of the Volga Federal District, depending on the level of retail trade development. A preliminary analysis of the factors of retail trade development by the method of expert evaluation is carried out. The choice of the regions of the Volga Federal District (hereinafter referred to as the Volga Federal District) as objects of research is due to the fact that this territory has become an active participant in escort food operations within the framework of the strategy of socio-economic development of Russia until 2030, which determines the need to solve the tasks set in the July Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On National development Goals of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030” In the context of the development of export activities, management bodies need to ensure the balanced development of the internal markets of the regions and administrative districts of the Volga Federal District. The analysis of retail trade will help to identify areas with a low level of its development and facilitate the adoption of targeted measures by government authorities. The Volga Federal District borders the Southern, Central, North-Western and Ural Federal Districts and Kazakhstan. The share of the district's GDP in the all-Russian indicator exceeds 15%. In 2023, the population of the Volga Federal District was 21.3% of the population of the whole of Russia, the share of the rural population of the Volga Federal District was 27.3%.
