The article discusses the main aspects of the development of trends in the regional agro-industrial complex of the Northwestern Federal District, the peculiarities of their change in the context of the globalization of the world economy and uneven development of the industry in certain areas of the region. The main features of the functioning of agricultural sectors are highlighted, the main development trends are predetermined, and their main characteristics are investigated in relation to the time indicator. The results of the study of the structure of the gross regional agricultural product of the district in the context of the constituent entities of the Federation are presented. The main recommendations related to the peculiarities of the development of the branches of the district agriculture are formulated and the general trend of the development of the agricultural economy of the district for the medium term is determined. The transitional nature of development has been identified, requiring additional support measures from both civil society and public authorities.

Agricultural development is a determining factor in ensuring food security in the territories in the context of the global pandemic and the winding up of globalization. A key factor in agricultural development, crop production, as well as related industries is the development of cultivated areas, especially in those regions that have poor climatic conditions. The use and expansion of sown areas is considered one of the factors of food security for the sustainable development of territories with a predominance of cold climate. The foundation is created for a stable agricultural market and less dependence on food products from other regions providing an increase in sown area. The development of this direction creates a certain control of the territories, the importance of which is significantly enhanced in the context of the ongoing processes of global warming and climate change. Sown area indicators, being the main production fund of the agrarian economy, contribute to the development of the entire agricultural sector of the country, providing crop products not only for the food industry, but also livestock, creating additional opportunities for agricultural growth in the region. The paper presents the results of the analysis of the Republic of Karelia, Komi and Murmansk region. The sown areas of regions of different sizes were studied not only by absolute growth indicators, but also relative and average indicators were calculated to improve coverage of the state of the areas. A forecast for the medium-term development perspective was proposed, recommendations were formulated to ensure sustained development for the medium-term prospect in order to ensure food security and economic development of relevant territories.

The development of the indicator of sown areas is significant in modern conditions of agricultural development, especially in those regions that have poor climatic conditions. The use and expansion of sown areas, which is one of the factors of food security not only in the region, but also in the country as a whole, is considered for the sustainable development of territories with a predominance of cold climate. The sown area, being the main production fund of the agrarian economy, contributes to the development of the entire agro-industrial complex of the country, providing crop products not only for the food industry, but also livestock, creating additional opportunities for agricultural production in the region. The article identifies trends, which is an important step for predicting the development of the agricultural sector and food security of the country. The use of trend analysis is an important tool for determining changes in crop development trends. The indicators of the Republics of Karelia and Komi, the Nenets Autonomous District, the Arkhangelsk and Murmansk regions are investigated. The sown areas of regions of different sizes were studied not only by absolute growth indicators, but also relative and average indicators were calculated to improve coverage of the state of the areas not only in the previous study period from 1990 to 2019, but also in the medium-term development perspective for 2020-2025. Polynomial and exponential development models were used for the study, which indicates the non-linearity of the change in the fundamental means of agricultural development, which indicates a significant non-uniformity of the indicator.

The article examines the main aspects of the functioning of the branches of the regional agro-industrial complex, the peculiarities of their adaptation to changing conditions of demand in the context of the transition to a new economic formation. The main problems and features of the functioning of agricultural and processing industries in the context of adaptation to global sanctions and emerging restrictions due to the pandemic and its consequences are highlighted. The results of the study of changes in demand for agricultural products are presented, the main factors are identified. The main recommendations are formulated related to the peculiarities of the development of the branches of the regional agro-industrial complex in the medium and long term in the conditions of a new economic formation in order to maintain progressive development, ensure territorial food security and maintain the economic and social stability of the relevant industries.
