Stability of supply in any food market, including that of pig farming products assures provision of food security of the region, solution of priority tasks of the state in the area of import substitution and provision of population with quality food products. In order to analyze formation of supply in the pig farming products market in the condition of reproduction process, a generalized system of indicators has been developed that takes into account the level of production and consumption of agricultural products per capita. This method allows evaluating the supply level in the market as well as finding opportunities for increasing the production output and market saturation. In Irkutsk oblast, the supply level in the pig farming products market is insufficient, as local agricultural producers do not produce enough goods to achieve the level of food security as stipulated in the Doctrine in comparison with the actual level of consumption of this type of products. At that, there is a stable growth in regional pork production. The main producers in the oblast are agricultural organizations and family households. Over time, the share of family households in production gradually decreases. There is only one large-scale pork producer, namely Usolsky Svinokompleks, which has advanced technologies and equipment for pork production and is the leader among the local producers, producing about 60 % of all pork in the region. Regional pork market has a significant potential for development. Cooperation between producers and authorities will allow increasing the appeal of the pork market.
