Abstract: The current state and prospects for the development of agricultural production in the Siberian Federal District are aimed at solving the problem of food security in difficult conditions of sanctions pressure from unfriendly countries, rising tariffs and increased price disparity. The Siberian Federal District is an important region of Russia involved in the formation of food funds for intra-regional consumption, interregional product exchange and export supplies. The production of grain, dairy and meat products determines the role of the Siberian region in the all-Russian division of labor. The production volumes of grain, eggs, and milk fully meet the needs of the market. The prospects for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the Siberian Federal District are associated with a further increase in agricultural production and the fulfillment of all planned indicators adopted by the Food Security Doctrine. The current mechanism of state regulation of the agricultural sector does not fully meet the tasks set. This is clearly seen in the example of grain production. In 2023, domestic grain prices continued to be under pressure from the oversupply of 2022, which, in the context of a sharp increase in prices for machinery, fertilizers, fuel, electricity, and transportation tariffs, led to an aggravation of price disparity and a decrease in the profitability of agricultural production. Grain purchases to the intervention fund were stopped, and the export duty had a negative impact on the incomes of commodity producers. The current crisis situation has shown that mechanism of state regulation does not have flexibility and requires adjustment.
