Abstract: The relevance of the research topic is to identify and summarize the main prerequisites and key factors that indicate the economic feasibility of further increasing the production of corn grain in Russia, including due to the growth of territorial distribution of crops, improving domestic seed production, farm specialization and other measures. The focus of the article is on increasing the distribution of maize crops for grain in new regions of the country, particularly in the Crimea, on increasing the gross grain harvest in the Far East, in Tatarstan and in other regions cultivating this valuable culture. The problem of the domestic development of seed production for the production of early ripe drought and frost-resistant seeds and hybrids of maize and the reduction to a minimum of their foreign products has been brought up to date. The aim of the study was to analyze the current status of the placement of corn crops in our country, the yields achieved and the total harvest over the years and to prepare proposals for the near future for their further development, which is the main results of this work. The key conclusion of the work is that Russia has all the necessary prerequisites, given the high yield of corn for grain and silage, its profitability (with a yield of 50 c / ha - 65‰, and at 80 c / ha - at least 130‰), the need to ensure high-grade feeds of developing livestock and poultry production, increase the export grain potential, purposefully increase the territorial distribution of corn in new regions of the country, or their share in the total crops of grain and leguminous crops.
