Abstract: To solve the main problems related to ensuring the food security of the country requires a thorough assessment of the trends in agricultural production in the main producing regions. The trend in the consumption of meat and meat products in Russia is quite heterogeneous across regions, which is due to various reasons. But one of the ways to solve this problem is to ensure the availability of products not only from the standpoint of production volumes, but also the price component. From this position, it is advisable to monitor production trends not only with a quantitative component, but also with an economic one. Pig products are classified as meat products, the main producers of which are concentrated mainly in the Central Chernozem region, of which the Belgorod region is a part. One of the features of this region is the dominance of integrated formations in the agricultural sector of the economy. Undoubtedly, these enterprises have advantages in terms of the ability to "survive" in a competitive environment through the use of innovative approaches from a technological point of view. But at the same time, medium and small agricultural enterprises of a pig-breeding orientation, which are the subjects of agricultural production in the region, cannot be ignored. Evaluation of the efficiency of pig production at enterprises of different sizes makes it possible to determine the trends in the institutional structure in this sector of the region, which is important for the agrarian policy of the country as a whole.
