A rating of the regions of Russia on the use of the potential of rural areas is presented in the paper. The method is based on aggregation of indicators reflecting the results of agricultural production and the provision of resources per 1 hectare and 1 person. According to the rating score, there are regions that rationally use their potential in agricultural production (Bryansk, Belgorod regions, and the Republic of Tatarstan) and regions that poorly use the development potential of rural areas. The group of outsiders included both regions located in regions climatically unfit for large-scale agricultural production, and regions inefficiently using human (Ivanovo region) or land resources (Orenburg region). Irrational use of resources in rural areas is also due to the predominant development of small forms of management, characterized by a low level of mechanization of labor processes, low land.
