  Abstract
  The priority task for domestic agribusiness is to ensure conditions for stable economic growth. To meet international standards, Russian farmers need to maximize production efficiency and increase the level of profitability of agricultural products. Positive economic dynamics in the agricultural sector can be achieved by attracting both extensive and intensive factors of production. Having an ambiguous agro-industrial complex, there is a serious differentiation of the food market sectors in terms of sufficiency, and on the other hand, there is a decrease in demand due to declining population real incomes. To assess the level of import substitution, a cluster analysis was carried out. The taxonomy of regional statistics divided the regions into two groups. Cluster No. 1 (Moscow Region, Tatarstan, Krasnodar and Altai Territories, Bashkortostan, Voronezh Region, etc.) demonstrates serious success in organizing the dairy industry from the perspective of import substitution, since its own production satisfies not only domestic needs, but also ensures the export flow. Cluster No. 2 (Chelyabinsk, Bryansk, Omsk regions, Udmurtia, the Republic of Dagestan, etc.) is polar to cluster No. 1 in terms of technical and economic indicators characterizing the development of the dairy industry. To improve the sustainability of the industry and intensify the processes of import substitution, it is necessary to improve the system of state regulation. The set of necessary measures includes: physical and economic accessibility of loans, review of the regulatory framework in the field of modernization of the rural economy, stimulating the efficiency of agricultural production and using the green box tools (in particular, the food card program).
