It is shownthat the positivedynamics of dairyproductivity does notcompensate the reduction of the dairyherd. As aresult of the sanctions, there is a withdrawal of the mainsuppliers of machineryandequipmentfor the production of milkanddairyproductsfrom the Russianmarket, a shortage of spare parts andcomponents, a failureintechnicalandservicemaintenance,whichin the futuremaybecome a brake on the development of the industry.Insufficientmilkproductionreduces the physicalandeconomicavailability of foodfor the population of the country,reduces the raw material base of the dairyindustry.Intheseconditions, agrifood policyshould take into account the balance of institutionalstructure of the industry,justify the mechanisms of structuralmaneuvering of resourcesandstructuraltransformations, and specifydevelopmenttargets.
