Abstract: The article considers organizational and economic approaches to the development of industrial seed production of oilseeds within the framework of the catch-up development paradigm. The high dependence of domestic crop production on foreign technologies in general and oilseeds (sunflower, soy) in particular was noted. The economic analysis of the existing model of breeding and seed production in the context of individual crops, as well as sunflower as the main oilseed crop, is carried out. The role and significance of the Subprogram for the development of breeding and seed production of oilseeds «Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Agriculture for 2017-2030» as the main direction of the development of agricultural production in the country on an innovative basis is shown. The creation of a National selection and seed consortium by the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia in order to provide sunflower seeds to the domestic selection of agricultural producers of the country is considered. Organizational and economic proposals have been developed to improve domestic breeding and industrial seed production of oilseeds, taking into account the current geopolitical situation.
