The features of commodity and semi-commodity relations in Budjak are determined, the historical, climatic, geopolitical, and ethnosocial factors that ensured the development of traditional industries for the region are traced, and the role of the cities of Budjak in the trade system of the Northern Black Sea region of that time is analyzed.
