In Russia, soybean as an agricultural crop has not historically found wide distribution, which is due to the exacting nature of this plant for various factors of production, the undeveloped culture of consumption of soy products in the diet of the population. Therefore soybeans were more used as technical raw materials for the production of the most important products of its processing - oil and meal. The purpose of this study is to identify trends in the soybean seeds market in the Far East and develop recommendations for improving the efficiency of its functioning in modern conditions. The methodology of soybean market research is based on the synthesis of economic analysis and applied methods developed in mathematical statistics. The scientific value of the results of the study is to identify the development trend of the soybean market localized in the Far East of Russia and to develop practical recommendations that complement the main provisions of the theory of spatial development and institutional configuration of market structures in the agrarian sphere.

The universality of soy as an agricultural crop causes its multiple application for a variety of purposes: food, fodder, technical and agrotechnical. The greatest application in the world practice soybean seeds found in the production of oil, and the resulting meal and cake are used for feed purposes as valuable high-protein additives to mixed fodders. Studies on the functioning of the soybean market are centered on the analysis of global leaders, which determine the conjuncture of its development on a global scale. Particular attention is paid to forecasting gross production, sown areas, yields and prices. For this purpose, various econometric methods and models are used that allow us to establish patterns that determine the prospects for the production and consumption of soybean seeds (Masuda and Goldsmith 2008, Ahumada and Cornejo 2016, Arnade et al. 2017, Ruiqing et al. 2016, Mekbib et al. 2016). In recent years, research has seen an increase in interest in Russia, its role in world agricultural markets. It is noted that Russia is a country with large untapped agricultural potential, the use of which will significantly save arable land and reduce the average world prices for products (Deppermann et al. 2018).
