Abstract. The total number of beef cattle in the world is 325 million, with beef production estimated at 68.3 million tonnes. Beef consumption is expected to reach 76 million tonnes by 2031. The purpose of the study was to assess the current state of the beef cattle industry and to analyze the potential for beef production in Russia. Russia has significant resources to increase beef production for both domestic consumption and export. The potential for beef exports is 75-80 thousand tonnes per year. Deterrent factors for the development of the domestic beef cattle industry are the annual decrease in the number of cattle, low fodder supply, resulting in low live weight of animals at slaughter, insufficient intensity in reproduction of commercial herds. The solution to these problems depends on the level of support for the industry from the Russian government, which can increase the attractiveness of the industry for investors.

Key words: beef cattle breeding, beef production, feedlots, livestock
