Abstract. The purpose. The research is aimed at studying ways to ensure sunflower harvests in the regions of Russia through increased intensification or redistribution of acreage in favor of sunflower from other crops. Methodology and methods. The study was conducted using a horizontal and vertical analysis, statistical and economic methods of analysis. Results. Based on the conducted grouping, the main directions of ensuring sunflower harvests in the regions of Russia in the context of the geographical aspect have been identified. The territories have been identified for which the method of ensuring yields is intensification with a relatively small size of crops in the total structure of acreage. For other economic regions of the country, the main way to expand the gross sunflower harvest remains the extensive factor, which is a consequence of the large areas of arable land that can be used for crops without prejudice to other crop areas. The scientific novelty lies in the formation of groups of regions according to the approach proposed by the authors to assess the results of sunflower production, based on the grouping of regions by two factors – the level of crop yield and its share in the structure of crops.
