Currently, it is important for Russia not only to maintain its position in the world market, but to actively promote non-resource exports. According to experts, representatives of non-resource production have a great export potential. Special attention is paid to the export of agricultural products. Agricultural products are the basis for goods exported from Russia abroad. The strategic objective of the state's export-oriented policy is the formation of competitive and efficient agricultural production, which will ensure the country's food security, increase the export of certain types of agricultural products and food. Further development of exports should be aimed at reorienting from the export of agricultural raw materials to the export of processed products, that is, with a higher added value, while world prices for the finished product are significantly higher than for raw materials. That is why the government regulation of this sector is necessary. It is extremely difficult for Russian agricultural producers, with little government support, to compete with goods that account for 40% of government investment. With the necessary support from the state, the export of food products will increase its potential in the near future. Russian exports of agricultural products have every reason to increase competition in the world arena. In modern conditions, the increase in production capacity and the export of agricultural products and food are a special opportunity for the Russian economy to show its export potential.
