Russia owns a resource base and production potential allowing the provision of domestic agriculture with the main types of fertilizers and selling a remaining part of them abroad simultaneously. In fact however, export significantly outweighs domestic consumption, resulting nutrients deficit in agricultural land. The main purpose of the article is to assess the situation in the domestic fertilizer market and to determine possible steps of more effective use of its potential taking into account real agricultural needs and foreign trade interests of Russia as well. The potential of using both mineral (mainly in agricultural organizations) and organic fertilizers is considered. The main trends in the world fertilizer market including the position of Russia are determined. The main reasons suppressing the adequate domestic consumption of agricultural fertilizers are revealed. The scopes of further scientific research in order to improve the efficiency of cooperation between national fertilizer market and primary agricultural production sector are proposed. The key state policy steps, providing domestic agriculture with fertilizers more effectively and supporting the high export positions of Russia in the world market are determined.
