Abstract: The paper reflects the relationship of food self-sufficiency, food security and sustainable socio-economic development. Food self-sufficiency of each region is an integral component of the country's food security, the guarantee of preservation of statehood and autonomy, improving the quality of life and level of social protection. The rural territories of the Chelyabinsk region are a powerful centre for agricultural production, the value of which in 2018 amounted to 106.2 billion roubles. In relation to the value of 2010, the indicator increased by 2.4 times. Monitoring the production of the main types of agricultural products made it possible to identify areas specializing in the production of meat products (Sosnovskij, Argayashskij, Chebarkul`skij, Nagajbakskij, Agapovskij, Emanzhelinskij, Kunashakskij and Uvel`skij), which provide 84.5‰ of the total production of rural areas of the Chelyabinsk region. Chebarkul`skij, Agapovskij, Oktyabr`skij, Troiczkij and Kizil`skij districts are identified as the leading milk producers. The main producers of cereal crops are Troiczkij, Bredinskij, Kizil`skij, Oktyabr`skij, Varnenskij, Chesmenskij districts, providing more than half of the gross grain harvest in the region. This study showed that there are successfully developing agricultural economy and the potential for exporting of agricultural products in Chelyabinsk region.
