The article considers the issues of food provision for the hard-to-reach areas of the Yakut Arctic based on the survey of the municipal authorities in the Arctic regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) on the current situation and problems of food supply. In general, the issues of ‘northern delivery’ are most acute for the hard-to-reach territories of Russia. The article is based on the results of the expert survey - representatives of the municipal authorities in 10 out of 13 Arctic regions of Yakutia. According to the empirical data, in most settlements and villages of the Arctic regions of Yakutia, there are such problems as a shortage and a narrow list of provided products, their low quality and high prices, lack of food control, insufficient number of vegetable stores and warehouses. Due to the high food prices, the most vulnerable groups are poor citizens, among whom families with children prevail. Despite the average indicators of the economic access of food, the transport access to food in the Arctic regions of Yakutia is critically low. In these areas, the cost of a food basket in the consumer basket, on average for a five-year period, turned out to be significantly higher than the average for the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The food market of the Yakut Arctic is very specific, primarily due to the peripheral geographic location and the underdevelopment of the transport infrastructure. Significant volumes of food deliveries with the participation of the regional budget can only affect the minimum prices of products. The situation is aggravated by the lack of a unified legal framework and organizational structure for hard-to-reach territories; therefore, ensuring their food security requires additional research and special management decisions.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Эксперты ООН справедливо отмечают, что «неравенство между разными регионами отдельной страны зачастую оказывается более значительным, чем неравенство между странами». В статье рассмотрены вопросы обеспечения продовольствием труднодоступных районов якутской Арктики на основе опроса муниципальных властей арктических районов Республики Саха (Якутия) о сложившейся ситуации и проблемах продовольственного обеспечения. В целом вопросы «северного завоза» - острейшая проблема для труднодоступных территорий России. Статья основана на результатах экспертного опроса - представителей муниципальных органов власти 10 из 13 арктических районов Якутии. Согласно полученным данным в большинстве поселков и сел арктических районов Якутии наблюдаются такие проблемы, как дефицит и узкий перечень завозимых продуктов, их низкое качество и высокие цены, отсутствие контроля за продовольствием, недостаточное обеспечение овощехранилищами и складами. В результате высоких цен на продукты питания в наиболее уязвимом положении оказываются малоимущие граждане, среди которых преобладают семьи с детьми. Несмотря на среднестатистические показатели экономической доступности продовольствия, транспортная доступность арктических районов Якутии критически низка. В этих районах стоимость продуктового набора потребительской корзины в среднем за пятилетний период оказалась значительно выше среднереспубликанских значений. Продовольственный рынок якутской Арктики весьма специфичен, прежде всего, вследствие периферийного географического положения и неразвитости транспортной инфраструктуры. Завоз значительных объемов продовольствия с участием регионального бюджета может влиять только на минимальные цены продуктов. Ситуация усугубляется отсутствием единой нормативно-правовой базы и организационной структуры для труднодоступных территорий, поэтому обеспечение их продовольственной безопасности требует дополнительных исследований и особых управленческих решений.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>food supply</kwd><kwd>northern delivery</kwd><kwd>transport inaccessibility</kwd><kwd>social inequality</kwd><kwd>Arctic zone of the Russian Federation</kwd><kwd>Yakutia</kwd><kwd>expert survey</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>продовольственное обеспечение</kwd><kwd>северный завоз</kwd><kwd>транспортная недоступность</kwd><kwd>социальное неравенство</kwd><kwd>Арктическая зона Российской Федерации</kwd><kwd>Якутия</kwd><kwd>экспертный опрос</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The work was carried out within the framework of the state program of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) “Development of the Arctic Zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and Indigenous Peoples of the North of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in 2020–2024” at the expense of the budget of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) allocated to the State Budget Institution “Arctic Research Center of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia)”.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа подготовлена в рамках реализации государственной программы Республики Саха (Якутия) «Развитие Арктической зоны Республики Саха (Якутия) и коренных малочисленных народов Севера Республики Саха (Якутия) на 2020–2024 годы» за счет средств бюджета Республики Саха (Якутия), выделенных ГБУ «Арктический научно-исследовательский центр Республики Саха (Якутия)»</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Belkharoev Kh.U.
