Abstract: The sanctions imposed on Russia by European countries and the United States of America have made adjustments to the process of import substitution and spatial development of agriculture. In the current situation, under the influence of both internal and external factors, the problem of rational placement of production of agricultural products, raw materials and food has become more complicated. A necessary condition for providing the population with food is the rational use of bioclimatic potential corresponding to the efficient production of agricultural products, the creation of specialized zones in areas and regions with the most favorable natural conditions. The purpose of the study is to develop proposals for the spatial development of Russian agricultural industries and the creation of specialized zones for the production of agricultural products, raw materials and foodstuffs. The research methods are based on the use of a program-oriented method, which provides for the formation of priority areas for the spatial development of agriculture. The presence of large differences in the organization of production and especially its sub-sectors makes it impossible to form approaches to their spatial organization. Regions with favorable natural and economic conditions and a small population, where intensive agriculture with a high competitiveness index is necessary, territories that are considered priority and geostrategic, as well as sparsely populated areas, require special attention. These include the Non-Black Earth Zone, the regions of the Far North, and the republics of the North Caucasus. At the same time, with the increasing differentiation of regions by the level of production of individual types of agricultural products, the state should play an important role. In Russia, the peculiarity of the spatial organization of agricultural development is a great diversity of territorial, natural-climatic, social and economic differences. Therefore, the regional aspect of management of not only the industry, but also all its sub-industries, is one of the important values. Spatial development, due to the current modern conditions, is associated with a change in the production focus of enterprises, administrative districts and regions that require investment and require a certain amount of time to carry out this process.
