Purpose. To develop a methodology for assessing the level of self-sufficiency in food, as a part of a regional management system of the agro-industrial complex. To assess the level of self-sufficiency of the main types of food areas of the Tyumen region. To give practical advice on the development of selected agro-food trends in the areas of the Tyumen region. Methods. In the research the author applied analytical methods, including mathematical and comparative analysis. Results. Based on the analysis of the current situation of food security in Russia the author found out that the development of meaningful indicators, showing the level of self-sufficiency of the regions basic foodstuffs is necessary. It was also revealed that, now, such an indicator in the system of regional management of AIC does not exist. Because of the synthesis of the existing approaches a procedure for self-sufficiency raiting of the regions was suggested. Its testing was conducted on the sample of the Tyumen region.The suggested proprietary technique of the ranking score of basic food self-sufficiency can be used in the system of regional management of agro-industrial complex at the Federal and local level. It can be used to rank areas on their degree of self-sufficiency in basic foodstuffs. This allows you to pay attention to the development of agro food lagging areas and take appropriate management decisions. So, if we look at the results for Uvatskiy district, which occupies the last not counting cities place, it turns out that attention should be paid to development: beef cattle and poultry (low index 0.091), dairy (0), cultivation of cereals and vegetables (0), as well as egg production (0.096). You can also select the extremely low rate of self-sufficiency in fruit and berries: in Omutinskiy district (0.162), Yalutorovskiy (0.147), Ishim (0.165), Berdyuzhskiy (0.119) and other districts. In Yarkovskiy district on vegetables (0). In Tobolskiy district on meat cattle breeding and poultry farming (0.361). In Tobolskiy and Yarkovskiy districts on egg production (performance index 0.132, 0.131). It is clear that these values are very low and certain managerial and organizational interventions to improve self-sufficiency in these areas according to food groups are required. The final rating 0.776 received through the analysis of the situation in Tyumen region shows that the situation in respect of basic food self-sufficiency in general is positive. However, there are reserves, as the maximum possible value of the ranking is 1. In the application of the proposed methodology for the assessment of the situation in different regions of the country, it is possible to make a comparison and evaluate the situation according to the elaboration of appropriate management decisions. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty consists of a comprehensive consideration of regional management issues of industrial and economic activities of basic foods producers.
