The article provides a comparison of the actual consumption of foodstuffs with the evidence-based rates and the production dynamics of the food basket products are examined. The results indicate an existence of food consumption differentiation by region, when region-specific food consumption is formed due to certain products being unavailable for a certain part of regional population, and an existence of an income based food consumption differentiation. The recommendations for increasing the food security are provided, such as the coordination of interregional commodity supply chains, import coordination in border regions and increasing the effectiveness of Russian agricultural sector.
