Grain and legume crop production in the Siberian Federal District in the context of food security

Food security is the basis of any country existence. This is the basis for country's sovereignty and national security. Bread and flour, in turn, are the main socially significant goods, and the grain industry is the main branch of the agro–industrial complex. The article assesses the food security of the Siberian Federal District, namely the level of self-sufficiency in cereals. Consumption and economic availability of bread products were analyzed. The regions that are the main suppliers of grain and its processed products have been identified. The conclusion about the availability of cereals and legumes, as well as bread products in the Siberian Federal District, despite the differences in natural conditions in the regions, is made. This is achieved through interregional trade in both agricultural products (grain) and food (flour). This article will be of interest not only to the scientific community, but also to a wide range of people.
