It has been revealed that per capita production of staple food in the region under study is significantly lower than the established rational norms, and the level of food self-sufficiency is very low. We have considered the cost and physical parameters of gross agricultural production in the region, defined the conceptual directions of increasing food self-sufficiency of the region's population.
