Ensuring the production of high-quality and competitive products is a strategic task of the national economy, on which the pace of industrial development of the country and its national prestige depend. One of the highly competitive industries in the Russian Federation is the confectionery industry, which produces a large range of confectionery products. In modern conditions of growing competition, the confectionery market must be flexible and be able to adapt to the consumer. To effectively regulate the production of confectionery products, it is necessary to analyze the production volumes of these products for a long time, as well as to estimate consumption volumes. Today it is very important for the Russian economy, in particular for the enterprises themselves, to establish the level of exports and imports of confectionery. The article discusses in detail the volumes of consumption and import of various segments of confectionery products produced in the Russian Federation. Due to its convenient geographical location, the import of confectionery products is carried out across the transboundary territories of the Far East, which contributes to the development of strong international economic relations between Russia and China.
