Abstract: The article is devoted to the problems of increasing the volume of production of agricultural products and products of its processing, the development of exports, the reduction of import dependence in order to ensure the food security of the country. The study was conducted on the example of the grain market, in particular, wheat. The main trends in the development of the industry over the past 33 years have been identified: a significant increase in production, a significant decrease in the volume of industrial processing of grain, as well as a decline in domestic consumption, a twenty-fold increase in exports, in connection with this, a high profitability of grain sales, a significant level of self-sufficiency in grain. The main directions of wheat export are characterized with justification of the most promising of them. A negative trend in Russian grain exports is their focus on raw materials, when the vast majority of exports are grain. At the same time, a significant import dependence on products of deep grain processing was revealed: amino acids, inulins, gluten and others. Proposals have been formulated to increase the deep processing of grain. It is substantiated that the balanced development of agri-food markets and ensuring food security is possible on the basis of increasing the volume of agricultural production and its processing, including deep processing, expanding export supplies, and increasing real incomes of the population
