Abstract: An analysis has been made of the current structure of the use of sugar beet seeds in Russian agriculture, in which the proportion of domestic hybrids is at a critically low level. The existing scientific, technical, production and economic potential of the domestic selection and seed production system in the field of creation, commercialization and propagation in Russia of new highly productive sugar beet hybrids, which are not inferior in price and economically useful properties to the best world analogues, is analyzed. The main characteristics that ensure high competitiveness and efficiency of sugar beet hybrids in the domestic market have been identified and systematized. An indicator of the economic efficiency of the production use of sugar beet hybrids is proposed, taking into account their price and economically valuable characteristics. It has been established that new Russian sugar beet hybrids are practically not inferior to the best world analogues in terms of productivity and require lower costs for the purchase of seeds and plant protection products. Calculations have been made of the expected economic effect from the transition of agricultural producers in the Krasnodar region to the use of seeds of new sugar beet hybrids of domestic selection. The boundaries of simultaneous changes in yield and costs for the purchase of Russian seeds and plant protection products during the transition in commercial beet growing to new Russian hybrids, which provide a positive economic effect for commodity producers compared to the use of more expensive foreign seeds, have been determined. The results obtained during the study were compared with the results of studies in a similar subject area published in leading periodicals.
