THE INFLUENCE OF THE FOOD BALANCE OF REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ON FOOD CONSUMPTION NORMS

The article examines the impact of the food balance of the regions of the Russian Federation on the norms of food consumption recommended by the Ministry of Health of Russia. As a result of the clustering of regions according to the type of food balance, four types of regions were identified: a donor region with export-oriented production, a donor region with a focus on domestic demand, a recipient region with advanced import substitution, a recipient region with a focus on domestic demand. As a result of the study, a close relationship was confirmed between the recipient regions with a focus on domestic demand and the regions with the greatest deviation from the norms of food consumption.
