The relevance and priority of the development of processing agricultural products and increasing its export potential are justified. The current state of the areas of production and processing of agricultural products of Almaty regionis analyzed. An assessment of the potential of processing enterprises in the main branches of the AIC of the region (dairy, meat, sugar-beet, oil and fat, etc.) is presented. The activity of the processing industry has been analyzed, the features and trends in the development of the raw material base and production capacities of the processing enterprises have been determined. The problems constraining their developmenthave been revealed: concentration of production in the households of the population, the unsatisfactory quality of raw materials; seasonal character and its uneven flow to processing enterprises during the year, the lack of interaction between agricultural producers, processing industry and trade. The authors note that wholesale distribution centers are becoming particularly important, the main task of which should be the availability of marketing of agricultural products by producers of any form of business. Difficult conditions of marketing activity, especially for small businesses, lead to the need for cooperation and establishing of logistics centers in order to bring together the efforts of all agricultural producers and provide consumers with competitive productsin one flow of goods.

The authors state that in modern conditions it is important to determine the priorities of agricultural policy based on ensuring the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises, the increase of living standards of the population, the transition of agriculture to the innovative development path, motivation of rural labor, the increasing role of agricultural sector on domestic and world markets, and active integration of Kazakhstan into the world economic system. The necessity of a significant increase in investment in agricultural production, the introduction of public procurement, modernization of agricultural machinery and technological processes in agricultural sector has been presented. It has been revealed that the existing import dependence on products of deep processing indicates the unused resources of agro-industrial complex of the country. The methodology of assessing the investment attractiveness of agricultural enterprises is limited to the analysis of their financial condition and does not take into account the efficiency of using the resource potential. The financial mechanism of investment should take into account the length of the payback period and risks. The conclusion about the need for effective measures of State regulation of agricultural production and formation of a competitive environment in agricultural sector has been done.

The issues of investment activity in agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan, attracting investments have been considered. The dynamics and volumes of their revenues in the regions of the republichave been analyzed. The study of the investment attractiveness of the industry for private investment revealed that the lack of market mechanisms, equal conditions and availability of financing, professional participants who are able to provide lending to the industry, impede the flow of private capital into the industry. The factors positively influencing on the investment process have been determined. Interms of market relations, the State provides a scientifically based pricing mechanism, flexible lending and tax policies, growth of leasing services, stimulation of entrepreneurial activities, provision of benefits to investors in targeted public financing, priority areas for investment, and development of indicative capital investment plans. It is shown that only intensification of agricultural sector through the use of innovative technologies will allow to increase production volumes and product quality, ensure the necessary standard of living of the rural population. The analysis of agricultural production of the republic revealed that, despite the openness of the economy in the most liberalized foreign trade, certain industries function with insufficient efficiency.

The grain market is presentedas an economic system, including relations between the subjects: rural producers, enterprises and organizations on harvesting, storage, industrial processing of grain and structures that serve the movement of grain and its products along the process chain from producers to consumers. Grain and grain products are highly in demand in the economy of any country, as they are used as raw materials for production of food products and food security. The measures of State regulation of grain market, related to exchange relations and economic relations have been considered. With participation of Kazakhstan in the WTO, the Eurasian Economic Union, the State creates necessary conditions for the activities of domestic agricultural producers, trade and procurement, grain procurement, grain processing enterprises in the interests of consumers of bread products. The role of the State on grain market in many countrieshas been reflected. The organizational, economic, financial and technical tasks on management of production, consumption, distribution and exchange of grain and products produced on its basis have been indicated. The importance of the functions ensuring the regulation of market at the State level, the development and use of a system of standards which comply with the world level in the conditions of the republic’s participation in the EAEU have been outlined.

The system of indicators that form the efficiency of agricultural industry on the basis of its resource supply, is presented, which is represented by three blocks: indicators of resource availability, their efficiency and synergy effect from this process. It has been determined that the highest land use efficiency index was achieved in the southern regions, where there are large areas of arable land, favorable climatic conditions (high thermal conditions, long vegetation period), irrigated land, which allows to grow crops with high yields. It has been revealed that the problem of low logistical support for agribusinesses remains unresolved at present. In recent years, the total area fertilized with mineral and organic fertilizers has averaged no more than 9.5%, the dose of fertilizer application per 1 ha of sown crops remains extremely low, which is explained by high cost of mineral fertilizers and lack of organic fertilizers due to the sharp reduction of all species of farm animalspopulation. A set of resulting indicators reflecting the level of provision of agricultural production with resources, including 10 indicators, has been determined. Comparative complex calculations have shown that northern region is the most supplied with agricultural resources, but cultivation of intensive crops in southern region provides greater production efficiency and, consequently, a higher level of utilization of the resources of agricultural sector.

The problems of increasing the economic availability of food products for the population of the republic are identified. The income, their structure by incomesource, cost of food products in the country and the regions, by population groupswas analyzed. It is shown that the main income source is income from labor activity, which share in the overall income structure is gradually decreasing, and the State increases social transfers aimed to increase the real available incomes of the population. The structure of employment of the population by types of economic activity in 2017 is determined. It is shown that main employment is provided by trade, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, education, and construction. The current level of consumption of basic food products by the population of the republic, as well as by groups of the poorest and richest rural and urban residentsis analyzed. It was determined that in the structure of consumer spending, the share of food expenditures is high and in 2017 it was 46.6%; it varies between urban and rural residents, as well as in the regions. The proposed measures are aimedto ensure the growth of incomes of the population as the main factor in increasing the availability of food products for the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Marketing research as a subsystem of marketing and management information considers a set of objective prerequisites for making effective management decisions and reducing entrepreneurial risk in the context of agrimarketdevelopment. When building a marketing management system in agroindustrial complex, the methods of marketing activities that actively interact with market environment based on a study of market conditions have been highlighted. Marketing-management as a direction, connecting an enterprise, a consumer, markets using search data, market opportunities, evaluating marketing functionshas been presented. The study revealed that the effectiveness of interaction at the stage of order formation is determined by the clarity of formulation and relevance of marketing problem. The choice of the main directions and methods of research by the performer is the main factor of the efficiency of the exchange processes of marketing- management system in agro-industrial complex. Analysis of problems of agricultural economy and characteristics of the interaction between consumers and producers of goods conditions the need of a rapid response of the organizational and economic mechanism of marketing management to the conditions of agro-industrial production. In the process of formulating marketing problem, the enterprise of agro-industrial complex must find a connection between market needs and its own production and sales opportunities, determine the need of potential consumers, whose satisfaction will ensure the socio-economic effect of the enterprise.

The stages of development of organic market in Ukrainehave been analyzed. It is shown that organic agriculture is currently positioned in this country as one of the key areas for increasing environmental friendliness, economic feasibility and social justice in agricultural sector is the most progressive and innovative way to improve the balance between environmental, economic and social factors of development of society and nature. The authors conducted a detailed study of the dynamics of changes in the number of their farms and the area of organic agricultural land. The analysis of the development of the Ukrainian domestic market for consumption of organic products is presented, and the dynamics of exports of certified organic products from Ukraine are investigated. The extended description of the structure and geography of export of Ukrainian organic products is presented. The existing organic production support system has been studied and organic market development measures have been proposed to ensure the investment and innovation model of agricultural enterprises, strengthen the competitive position of Ukrainian agricultural producers on global organic market, and enhance State’s integration into the international economic space.

Taking into account the growth rate of domestic economy,itis necessary to use the latest logistics technologies. A significant part of agricultural enterprises strives to build their activities on the basis of logistics in order to achieve the goal with minimal time and resource costs. Logistics diagnostics assumes operational analysis of the state of management system, regulation and organization of the materialsflow, decision making, and planning data on the logistic systemdevelopment. The article presents a diagnostic analysis of the logistics system in agro-industrial production. The problems of technical diagnostics are identified. The structural scheme of the logistics mechanismis presented. The influence of the internal and external environment on the dynamics of the parameters of the supply chain system is shown. The stages of diagnostic studiesare outlined. The efficiency of diagnostics of fuels and lubricants, seeds, electricity, irrigation water, mineral fertilizers (ABC) is considered. The turnover for each of themis calculated, which indicates a decreased annual expenditurelevel. Based on the data of the “Abzal and K” partnership, the volume of procurement costs is calculated. The advantages of logistic methods are analyzed. The system of distribution of finished products on the basis of optimal management of material flows (supply, warehousing, transportation) is indicated. ABC analysis is presented as a method aimed at reducing costs in logistics network and increasing revenue.

The essence of strategic planning in agricultural enterprises, its importance and features in competitive environment are considered. It is noted that it is beginning to be actively used in the activities of agricultural enterprises. Currently, strategic planning - is the most promising direction of their development, and makes it possible to combine production, design, marketing and financial functions into one system. It is revealed that the main meaning of strategic planning lies in perspective modeling, defining the purpose of agricultural enterprise and forming the concept of its long-term development. The strategic planning systems: European, North American, Asianare analyzed. The scheme of conducting a strategic analysis of market situation is shown, three main stages of the long-term strategy of the enterprise are highlighted. For a full assessment of the implementation of the strategic planning the weaknesses and strengths, opportunities and threats, and risks included into the SWOT analysis, were identified. An assessment of the effectiveness of the strategic plan according to the Balanced Scorecard system is presented. The following problems are identified: rapid wear and deterioration of equipment; high risks in agricultural activities; outflow of qualified specialists; insufficient use of innovative technologies.

The role of ensuring the competitiveness of agricultural economy on domestic and foreign markets, increasing social responsibility of agribusiness, the main goals and objectives of agro-industrial complex of the republic for 2017-2021, the digitalization of agricultural sector and increasing the volume of products exports have been presented. The main indicators of agricultural sector development in Kazakhstan have been analyzed. The issues of the availability of funding for the subjects of agro-industrial production; growing interest in scoring procedures as a result of the entry into force of the Basel Capital Accord; improving the mechanism of subsidizing agricultural producers by using the scoring method as the most effective way to attract creditworthy clients and preserve the ability to control losses. It was determined that in general it allows the use of lending, insurance and subsidy tools. The role of “related financial products” on business entities and their associations, receiving public support and planning in the development of competitive agricultural production is indicated. It is revealed that formulation of organizational schemes for the allocation and evaluation of the effectiveness of the use of subsidies with the active participation of local executive bodies will contribute to the optimal use of budgetary funds.

The indicators of small businesses, including those operating in the field of AIC, are analyzed, production function is considered to characterize the technology of interdependence of production factors. For this purpose, the Cobb-Douglas function is applied, which reflects the cumulative dependence of the production volume and its main factors - labor and capital. The article the three-factor Cobb-Douglas production functionis considered based on the use of indicators of time series in construction of production function, the parameters of which are calculated using the least squares method, and correlation coefficient is used to compare the degree of influence of the factors. The use of a sufficiently detailed Cobb-Douglas function will ensure the attraction of investments in the development of small businesses in various sectors of economy and various activities. Taking into account the specific features of this production function, as a result of economic analysis, the influence of the number of employees of small businesses and investments to fixed assets on the level of production of goods and services is determined. The calculated balance sheet ratios connecting the resource variable values with production volumemade it possible to state its analytical dependence on the changes included in the factorsmodel, which is confirmed by the values of the coefficients of multiple regression and determination.

The role of agro-industrial complex in ensuring food security of the country and population with food is considered. However, seasonal character, uneven movement of working capital cause their shortage in the enterprises of AIC, so they often need loan resources. The sectoral and intrasectoral features of lending to agricultural production are analyzed: high capital intensity and relatively low capital productivity, mismatch of cost and income periods in time, technological cycle duration, continuity of production process and reproduction inherent of agriculture, long turnover of circulating assets,specific collateral, close relationship with natural and climatic conditions, plant and animal life, which identify less favorable condition of agricultural producers for lending, compared with other industries. The problems that hinder the development of lending relations in agricultural sector are shown: high interest rates for the use of loans, difficulty in analyzing creditworthiness, the need for multi-term loans, insufficient public support for agriculture. Its need for the development of risk management infrastructure in agro- industrial production has been identified. The proposed introduction of expert systems and IT- technologies in the analysis of the creditworthiness of borrowers.

In the concept of improving accounting and its integration into the environment of international financial reporting standards, first of all, the current tasks of the methodology are put forward, among which the accounting of biological assets of agriculture is of great interest. The system of effective management of agro-industrial production is based on relevant information, which should be sufficiently complete, clear, objective and reliable. The above mentioned is directly related to the information support of the process of biotransformation management of biological assets in AIC. Accountingof productive livestock and perennial plantings of agricultural enterprises is based on the International Financial Reporting Standard 41 “Agriculture”, which determines the procedure for accounting, providing financial statements, and reflecting information on the activities of agricultural enterprises and movement of biological assets. The need for methodological support of operations related to their movement, with cost estimate, in accordance with the requirements of international standard, has determined the relevance of research paper. Methods of recording incomes and expenditures of agricultural enterprises during biotransformation of biological assetsare proposed.

An assessment of current state and prospects for the innovation development in food industry of the Republic of Belarus and in the framework of functioning of the Eurasian Economic Union is presented. A systematic analysis of regulatory and legal regulation of innovation activity in Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia has been carried out. The author's definitions of innovation and innovation activities in agro-industrial complexare presented. The current state and main trends in food industry are shown based on the analysis of official statistical information of the EAEU countries for 2013-2017 by the most important indicators (the share of innovation-active organizations in their total number, the volume of innovative products (works, services), its share in total sales volume). The dynamics of positions of the countries participating in the Eurasian Economic Union in the Global Innovation Rating is studied. The main problems of the regulatory and legal regulation of innovation activity in the EAEU partner countries are identified and the most important directions for its improvement, both at national and supranational levels, are proposed. The share of innovation cost in the investment amount in fixed assets of food industry of the EAEU countries in 2013-2017have been analyzed and determined. The main directions of effective investment in innovative activities in food industry have been developed.

The theoretical aspects of the development of greenfood industry and resource conservation in the Republic of Kazakhstan are studied. The authors note a significant difference in the industries in production of food products according to the production technology, the degree of technical equipment, labor organization. Based on this fact and summarizing the works of domestic and foreign scientists, the main areas of organic foodproduction, based on the use of waste-free, low-waste and resource-saving technologies are considered. The components of organizational and economic tools of this process are analyzed, the purpose and stages of its formation are determined. The main constraints for the development of the industry and problems caused by imperfect market structures, as well as ensuring technological security in the context of the trade relations development within the WTO, are identified. Proposals that determine the feasibility of developing a public-private partnership that enhances effective management and achieving optimal use of resources, introducing international standards ISO 9000, ISO 14000, and applying incentives for green production in food industry are presented. The study concluded that it was necessary to take into account ecological and economic principles in food production, use of high technologies, as well as international environmental standards.

A statistical analysis of the main indicators of grain production in Akmola region was conducted: sown areas, yield and gross yield and calculation of sustainability factors. On the basis of regression analysis and trend equation of a straight line using the method of analytical alignment, we analyzed the general trends of weighted deviations of grain production indicators. For the years 2001-2016 the dynamics of sown areas, gross yield and wheat yield capacity was considered. To determine the coefficient of sustainable expansion of cultivated area, the increase in gross product and yield, their three-year flexible average levels were calculated according to the data of 2001-2016. It was revealed that the area, total production of grain crops and their yields are low and over the years the value of the indicators has a instable tendency. The calculation of the coefficients of stable dynamics of the main indicators of grain production using the straight horizontal line method also showed an identical change in the curves of yield stability and gross yield, depending on the growth of grain yield. This indicates the need to use intensive factors to increase crop yields, but not extensive ones for the stable development of grain production.

The innovative approaches to land management are considered. It was determined that in order to improve this process, it is necessary to use GIS technologies, in particular, and conduct space monitoring of agriculture. As a result, GIS platform was developed for sown areas of agricultural crops of Akmola region based on satellite imagery. Digitization (vectorization) and their decoding for recognition of objects on ground was conducted. Database of crop areas with attributive data in ArcGIS program, v.10.4 in the districts of Akmola region was obtained. The biological groups of weeds found on crops were determined. A satellite assessment of their contamination was done on the basis of remote sensing data broken down into 3 classes of contamination level of crops: weak contamination, medium contamination, heavy contamination. Calculation of biological yield of crops on the basis of ground-based observations was conducted. For this purpose, field trips were done to collect ground data, during which sheaves of crops were collected in the context of selected survey control points, their coordinates were determined using a GPS receiver. The calculation of the normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI) to determine the yield was done. A map of contamination of cultivated areas and crop yields on the basis of remote sensinghas been designed.

The negative processes occurring on land, depending on the intensity of use of these lands, nature of anthropogenic impact, are presented. The placement of the existing stationary territorial-zonal network of monitoring points, frequency of their observations in the regions of Kazakhstan are analyzed. Analysis of monitoring data shows that current network of ecological sites does not fully cover and does not sufficiently reflect changes in soil processes that affect the quality of agricultural lands. Based on this, for conducting monitoring of soil fertility, especially arable land, optimal areas and density of monitoring points were proposed for the regions of the republic, in irrigated agriculture zones on arable lands and rain fed agriculture, in complex topography and small outlook of arable lands, on hay and grazing lands. The relevance and necessity of monitoring the disturbed lands during the intensive mining of minerals in Zhambyl region, with further involvement of waste land in agricultural production has been identified. The practical application of the results of remote sensing and space monitoring of agricultural land is shown on the example of Northern Kazakhstan, which can be used by specialists of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan for economic incentives for soil fertility conservation, and developing proposals on improving the rational use of land resources.

The current state of employment of rural population in the republic is characterized by reduction in the sphere of application of labor and concentration of a considerable part of labor potential in agricultural sector of economy. Ensuring productive employment in the industry is a strategically important matter. The directions connected with diversification in agro-industrial production and development of non-agricultural kinds of activity in the village have been determined. A model of growth prospects of the rural population has been shown, and forecast calculations have been done. The indicators of economically active population and unemployed, as well as the dynamics of changes in their numbers have been considered. The factors significantly influencing on the development of this sphere were revealed; employment trends of workers by age group were identified. The structure of the employed rural population was presented. The main categories of employed people among hired workers and self-employed were identified. The correlation between the number of hired workers and registered legal entities has been presented. The indicators of the rural unemployed population by education level were analyzed. The main causes of unemployment in rural areashave been identified. Solutions of these problemshave been shown.

It is noted that the average agricultural enterprises of Kazakhstan at the present stage of development of economic relations are characterized mainly by a low level of labor potential use. The article indicates the reasons that cause the lack of interest of workers in AIC sector of the republic in professional development. It is revealed that the increase in the level of human resources in the field of agro-industrial production is possible only in the case of sustainable development of rural areas, rural infrastructure and availability of a sufficiently profitable agriculture. Meanwhile, the quality of personnel- management potential directly affects the competitive capabilities of the enterprise; in this regard, the important issues related to the radical restructuring of personnel work of agricultural enterprises and preservation of positive achievements in its organization have been considered. The proposals on State regulation of the employment and use of labor resources in rural areas in order to improve the economic situation in agricultural production have been presented. Particular emphasis is placed on training of qualified personnel managers, specialists, workers of mass professions in agro-industrial sector of the republic. At the same time for their training and retraining it is advisable to widely use higher and secondary educational institutions, vocational schools and secondary schools, as well as the work experience of the best domestic and foreign teams.

An assessment of current state of one of the key indicators of agricultural economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan - the migration potential of the rural population has been presented. The issues of assessing and measuring the migration of the population of the republic - the number of departures and arrivals, as well as the balance of migration have been considered. It is noted that these methodological approaches to assessing the current situation in internal migration of the population are generally accepted. The data on internal migration of the rural population of the republic are presented. The points of view and scientific approaches of Kazakhstan researchers dealing with this problem are presented. Based on the study of statistical information on the current state and dynamics of internal migration of the rural population of Kazakhstan, statistical dependencies were calculated which characterize the dynamics of the balance of this migration for 2010-2017. The autocorrelation coefficients of the balance (r) and the average approximation error for all functional identities are determined. The best dependence was chosen, on the basis of which the medium-term forecast of migration potential of population living in the rural areas of the country was done. The authors point out the need to take into account the results obtained in the development of national and regional policy documents, the purpose of which is to further effectively develop agricultural labor market, as well as to ensure the growth of the level and quality of life of the population living in rural areas.

Internal migration processes in the country have been explored. The main aspects of the impact of migration on employment in agricultural sector have been considered. The principles of State migration policy, some issues of regulatory regulation have been outlined. Relevant issues of employment of the rural population have been justified. Internal migration is the main direction of migration flows in Kazakhstan which is characterized by intensive migration of economically active population from rural areas and environmentally disadvantaged regions to the regions with a more favorable economic situation. Measures of State regulation and support of employment in agricultural sector of Kazakhstan, issues of labor market within the framework of the State programs and strategies, in particular, in the light of the implementation of the “Enbek” program have been presented. The indicators of internal migration of the population, indicators of employment and unemployment in the agricultural sector of the country have been analyzed. A regional study of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of modern migration flows oriented to rural areas has been carried out. Internal migration processes have been studied, an analysis of the scales and factors determining them have been presented. Various aspects of the impact of migration on the development of agriculture, the adaptation of immigrants in the villages, the relationship of internal migration with employment in the agricultural sector have been considered.

Social infrastructure is an important issue among the topical issues of rural development. Currently this is one of the unsolved problems. Measures aimed to improve management of social infrastructure in rural areas have been explored. Its theoretical essence, types, value, main advantages have been determined. The provision of social infrastructure in rural areas at the State level has been presented. The dynamics of their development and assurance of rural settlements of Mangystau region with social objects have been analyzed based on indicators of 2016-2018. As part of the implementation of the State programs, along with the improvement of the socio-economic well-being of the village, measures should be aimed at the construction, reconstruction, major and current repairs of engineering infrastructure facilities, modernization of water and heat supply facilities. Monitoring of the results of socio-economic development of rural settlements in 2010 showed the increased number of RS with high potential. The main indicators used in the management of infrastructure development in rural areas have been considered.

On the basis of a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of indicators of the level and quality of life of the rural population, an assessment of the ongoing system processes and phenomena has been made. The problems that are restricting social development of rural areas have been identified. A tendency has been found for a decrease in the population of rural areas, which is associated, on the one hand, with urbanization, and on the other, with income levels. Thus, the average monthly wage is one of the lowest in the sector structure of the economy. The study of labor market indicators of the rural population of Pavlodar region for the period 2013- 2017 shows that on the background of a low starting level of income for rural residents, the number of self-employed is decreasing from 64.4 thousand people (2013) to 39.7 thousand people (2017). The relevant issues of labor market in agricultural sector have been considered, in particular, the discrepancy between the qualifications and level of workers with the requirements and expectations of the employers. The solutions of these problems in the frame of public support measures of productive employment have been recommended. Issues related to the personnel provision have been outlined. The directions for improving the system of personnel retention in rural areas; effective use of production, demographic and labor potential of rural areas have been proposed. In this regard, further effective development of their social mechanism is required.

The economic indicators of the development of oil and fat production have been considered. It has been revealed that it has a direct impact on production component where products which are in demand among the population are produced and the huge economic potential is concentrated that determines the level of the country's food security. The elements of the formation of the production process in this industry have been presented: the investment policy of the State, competitiveness, scientific potential, competence and the degree of staff qualifications that directly affect the functioning of the agro-industrial complex. The system of development of oil and fat production, depending on the indicators of production and raw material base of agricultural enterprises, in particular producers of oilseeds has been presented. An important role is played not only by the growth of production, but also by a deep restructuring of its structure, a favorable external economic environment. The article presents the dynamics of export of vegetable oils in Kazakhstan for 2012-2017. The problems that are solved in the construction of the model with introduction of "green" production, taking into account the institutional and regional levels of management of oil and fat industry, allowing to produce competitive products on domestic and foreign markets have been identified.

The implementation of cluster approaches is recognized as an important tool to promote industrial development, competitiveness and efficiency of the economy. One of the priority directions of innovation policy is the creation of agrofood clusters. The article provides an economic assessment of the formation of clusters in agro-industrial complex and the mechanism of State regulation of cluster management. It was determined that the efficient functioning of clusters in agricultural sphere is the basis for the development of the models at the regional level. Their mechanism, functional role, components have been specified, taking into account the laws governing the development of agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan. The features of cluster management, competitive advantages of clusters in the field of agro-industrial production in the region, associated with geographic location, climate, and opportunities inherent in them as an integrated system aimed at improving equipment and technologies have been revealed. On the basis of cluster analysis, methodical proposals on cluster management for each territory were formulated, which allow to increase the efficiency of cluster management, reduce costs in production-processing-sale chain, and improve food supply at the regional level. The formation of agrofood clusters can become one of the promising directions in addressing strategic tasks of increasing the level and quality of life of the population.
