Abstract

The article examines the regulatory framework, prerequisites and prospects for the development of the production of organic livestock products in the Altai Territory. Organic production in the country and region is carried out on the basis of 280-FZ, GOST R 33980-2016 and the Development Strategy until 2030. Livestock products account for 8% of total organic production. The Altai Territory ranks fifth in the production of organic products. However, no organic livestock products are produced in the region. Russia offers a fairly diverse range of organic dairy and meat products. About 40% of food products produced in the region can be certified as organic products. The advantages of the Altai Territory in the production of organic products are its rich diversity of natural and climatic zones, types of agricultural production and products, a sufficient amount of land resources, low employment of the rural population and the established environmental branding of the region. The main directions for the development of organic production in the Altai Territory are: identification of promising directions for the production of organic products; identification of effective mechanisms for stimulating organic producers; assessment of subsidies for product logistics; export development and compensation of certification costs.
