Importance The article discusses the issues of development of intensive agriculture to generate internal sources of food resources in the Kaliningrad oblast, since the oblast is the most vulnerable one in this context among the other Russian regions, by virtue of its territorial and geographical situation.

There is a considerable progress in increasing the agricultural productivity of the oblast for agricultural organizations are developing faster than households.
Conclusions and Relevance This work represents the evolution of scientific knowledge about modern methods of organization of the agriculture of the Kaliningrad oblast.
