Issues of providing its population with food are relevant for any state and in any time period. But the situation in the markets is very volatile, because it is influenced by many factors, and therefore it is important to correctly adapt the market to changing market conditions. At present, the situation in the markets in general, and in the food market in particular, is changing very quickly and significantly, so it is necessary to consider adaptation mechanisms for market subjects. Since the food market, in our opinion, is a system of relationships between such entities as producers, consumers of food, government agencies, foreign countries for production, handling, processing, storage, ensuring import supplies and expert operations, providing the population with food in accordance with accepted medical standards, then adaptation measures should be aimed at these groups of subjects. Since the 1990s, there has been a trend of declining food production in our country. The market has been largely filled with imported food, which has gradually led to dependence on foreign producers. Due to the fall in the level of income of the population, and consequently, the demand of the population, it is necessary to prevent a decrease in the provision of food for people. It should also be considered that it is difficult for Russian producers of agricultural products to compete with foreign ones, since their subsidies are much lower. At the moment the problem of insufficient development of the food market infrastructure and weak application of modern marketing technologies also negatively affects.
