Introduction. This article deals with the issues of economic assessment of the food security level of the Stavropol Territory for the period 2018-2022. The relevance of the study lies in the importance of calculating and interpreting indicators of physical and economic accessibility of food, sufficiency of food consumption and food quality. Based on the data on exports and imports of basic food products, the regional import coverage ratio has been determined, and subsequently, an integral food security index for the region has been calculated. This assessment is crucial for developing measures to ensure food security; based on these evaluations, programmes are formulated to support vulnerable population groups, improve transport accessibility in remote areas, and reduce income disparity among the population. The information system of the Federal State Statistics Service served as the basis for the research. Methods. The methodological framework of the study consisted of quantitative assessment methods for the food security coefficients of the region and the integral level, which allowed for practical recommendations to stabilise vulnerable indicators and reduce the risk of the region moving to a lower criterion level. Results. The results of the conducted research confirm that the food security of the region must be studied in relation to federal indicators, taking into account the import coverage ratio by exports, and providing an economic justification for the risks of worsening processes such as declining levels of population welfare and purchasing power, as well as revising the food structure towards a more balanced approach.
