Abstract: In the presented article, the problems of the spatial development of the agrarian territories of the Russian Federation are considered, with the main emphasis being placed on the economic basis of spatial development. The author puts forward and substantiates the assumption that for the integrated development of agrarian territories it is not enough to take into account only socio-economic indicators of development, it is important to take into account the complex influence of social, environmental and economic factors. From the point of view of the agricultural producer, the economic efficiency of large-scale production is much higher than small-scale production. However, the assess-ment of production should be considered not only from the point of view of the owner, but also taking into account the interests of all residents of the agrarian territory. As one of the most important problems, the wrong placement of large livestock breeding complexes, negatively affecting the ecological situation in rural areas, as well as the epizoot-ic well-being of the territory, is indicated. The author assumes that it is possible to reduce the negative impact of the scale effect through the development of medium-sized and small-sized enterprises that are optimal in size. This will have a positive effect both on the ecological situation of the agrarian territories, and on the quality of agricultural products, increase of jobs in the countryside, as well as preservation of the rural infrastructure.
