Abstract
The article notes that food security is one of the main areas ensuring the country’s national security. It is determined that today, in modern political conditions, food independence is the key link in solving issues of food supply. It is emphasized that though the Jewish Autonomous region possesses significant land and arable resources, its commodity items share of production in the Russian Federation remains extremely low, not corresponding to the Food Security Doctrine requirements. The population is sufficiently provided with arable and agricultural resources, however, it is observed a significant drop in the regional agricultural production, as compared to 1990. It should be noted that, in 2023 there was a slight rise in the production of grain, cattle and poultry for slaughter, milk and eggs, as compared to 2020, when the Doctrine was adopted. However, these indicators remain insignificant not providing the population with their own regional agricultural products. It is not clear yet how the Doctrine should be integrated into the regulatory legal acts governing the development of the regional agricultural sector. In addition, а system of clear regional agricultural specialization has not been elaborated yet. The authors conclude that the development of agro-industrial production in the Jewish Autonomous region is now extremely low rate, demonstrating a significant food dependence and food security low level in the region.
