Abstract: The article considers the current state of the grain market in Russian Federation and the dynamics of its export to some countries of the former Soviet Union: Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan. It is re-vealedthat at present Russia is the main supplier of grain only for Armenia, while for other countries the main supplier is Kazakhstan. Thus, Russia’s potential in the grain export in the presented post-Soviet countries has not been fully realized. The negative consequences of a significant harvest for Russia’s grain industry and perspective directions of e x-port expansion of this type ofproduction are noted.
