Abstract: The article presents the provisions of legal acts that became the basis for price regulation in Russia and in individual EAEU member states in the initial period of the formation of a market economy, and considers the measures and mechanisms of price regulation developed at the present stage. The article emphasizes that in the EAEU countries pricing is based on a liberal principle. At the same time, in the Republic of Belarus, unlike other EAEU member states, liberal pricing is combined with regulated prices. At the same time, each of the EAEU countries applies price regulation measures depending on the current situation of the agricultural market. The article also presents an analysis of the dynamics and price ratios in various areas of AIC in the EAEU member states over the last ten-year period (2012-2021). The analysis revealed that the price disparity, calculated as the ratio of price indices in various areas of agriculture to the base period, is observed in all EAEU member states, except the Republic of Kazakhstan. The author considers the key measures to stabilize prices in the agro-food market taken by the EAEU member states in recent year. The article also emphasizes that in order to stabilize the price situation, it is necessary to form a unified state pricing policy within the EAEU, improve the price monitoring system, and form a common exchange market for EAEU goods.
