Food Provision of the Russian Population through the Prism of Numbers

DOI: 10.33917/es-2.206.2026.86-97

Current state of the food security is ambiguous. On the one hand, physical availability of domestically produced food is obvious, but on the other — limited economic accessibility of this food, primarily due to inflation, is equally obvious. Today, Russia is rightfully considered a global grain superpower and is the world’s leading wheat supplier. However, Russian citizens face steadily rising prices for bread and baked goods made of wheat flour, exceeding the average inflation rate. In this regard, a detailed analysis of the actual data on provision of the Russian population with basic food products is required.
