Abstract

The results of a systematic analysis of trends in the functioning of the baby food market in the Republic of Belarus, including the segment of specialized nutrition for children with metabolic disorders, are presented. The determining role of the state in ensuring food security of the children’s population and the development of its own production of children’s and specialized food products in the country is revealed. A set of indicators for assessing the availability of specialized products for children with phenylketonuria has been developed for implementation in the national food security monitoring system. The directions for improving the mechanism for the balanced development of the domestic baby food market have been identified.
