To effectively locate the organic crop production by regions of Rus sia, a methodology has been developed. It includes the development of a database for calculating a system of indicators of the conditions for the production and consum ption of organic products. The indicators are selected using the expert method. They characterize the regions in terms of the potential for socioeconomic development; the state of agriculture; climatic and ecological conditions; the standard of living of the population that forms the demand for organic products. The methods o f Factor and Cluster analysis are the basis of the methodology. Based on the results of the Factor analysis, five components were identified for each group of indicators that formed the basis for the typification of regions. The method of Cluster analysis identified seven groups (clusters) of regions, differentiated according to the conditions that form the potential for the develo pment of organic production. Approaches to the location of certain types of crop production are proposed for each cluster. Efficient location of production is justified by taking into account the climatic conditions important for crop pro duction, consumer demand and the ability to supply the population within each group of regions. The authors tested the methodology for the regions of Russia, which allowed not only to ident ify the conditions most favorable for the organic production, but also to give recommendations on crops for growing in these territories.
