Abstract: He relevance of this study is confirmed by the fact that in modern farming conditions, improving the qualityof wheat grain harvests is an important task for agricultural producers and the state, and it is one of the ways to in-crease the efficiency and competitiveness of the grain economy. The purpose of the work is to show the productionvolumes and the results of the quality inspection of wheat grain for a number of years in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakh-stan - the leading countries of the post-Soviet space on gross grain harvest and export of this valuable crop, and alsoto generalize proposals for improving the quality of wheat grain offuture crops, including through the improvementof the organizational and economic mechanism and other measures. The rational location of wheat crops, taking intoaccount natural conditions and the possibility of increasing investment, will allow more efficient growth of high quali-ty grain production. The article reflects the standard requirements for a number of grain quality indicators that char-acterize its consumer and baking advantages, with the growth of which competitiveness, the purchase price of grainand the income of its producers increase. The main reasons for the observed decrease in the grain quality indicatorsin these countries are associated with organizational, economic, natural and other factors. In presenting the results ofthe study, the economic and statistical analysis of the set of quality indicators of the surveyed wheat grain yields inRussia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan during the period 2010 -2017 is used.
