During the 1990-2000's Russian agriculture has passed through two major transitions, associated with specific sets of problems: the transition from a command-planned economy to a market economy, started in the first post-soviet years, and the industrialization of the agriculture since the late 1990s. Researchers have revealed three main trends in the transformation of the territorial structure of the agriculture during this period: a reduction in the area of cultivated agricultural land, polarization of the economic landscape, and changes in the spatial organization of agriculture linked to its vertical integration. In this paper, the author investigates to what extent the transitional processes of the 1990-2000s could transform the regional territorial structure of agriculture in the south of the Tyumen region. He compares the structure of sown areas, the location of production centres and the distribution of the value of commodity output (revenue) in two cross-sections: the late 1960s-mid-1970s and 2014-2015. The author concludes that, despite the depth of the changes, some elements of the spatial structure of the agrarian sector, established in the Soviet period, show stable and are reproducing in new - market – conditions, in particular, the general structure of the acreage and location patterns of production. Whereas the «movement» of agriculture to the suburban area, recorded by statistics, reflects the redistribution of surplus value in favour of industrial enterprises.
