Abstract

Currently, the policy of import substitution in Russia is being implemented not only at the national, but also at the union level. The authors of the article analyze how successful the allies were in the conditions when the import substitution policy began and what are its features for the member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. Due to the fact that the EAEU countries have no problems in relations with the West, and therefore they had other incentives to implement industrial policy. Therefore, uncertainty about the duration of sanctions against Western countries can also serve as a barrier to the growth of exports from the EAEU states. Of particular interest are the studies of forecasting the main trends in the development of agricultural production and the increase in domestic demand of the population of the Russian Federation for agricultural products as the most important condition for the development of the economy in the near and medium term. Meanwhile, the author notes that the policy of import substitution in the EAEU is relevant not only for agriculture and the food industry. Equally important is the dependence on imports in such industries and sectors of the economy as mechanical engineering, software production, information and communication technologies, pharmaceutical and medical industries, on which the security of the state and the quality of life of its population critically depend. At the same time, the Russian authorities began to stimulate the production of critical industrial products by subsidizing investments, providing favorable loans and other benefits.
