Mindlin Yury Borisovich

In today's increasingly globalized international markets, it is increasingly difficult for individual companies to obtain and discount competitive advantages. In addition to the competition and competitiveness of markets, it is also important to interact with various actors that have an impact on the final effects of competing companies, and, as a result, the results of competition between national economies. In this light, in the search for ways to maintain and, especially, increase the competitiveness of the national agricultural sector, it is worth paying attention to the opportunities that can be created in this regard by supporting the development of export-oriented business clusters within the framework of state intervention. Assuming that strong export clusters have a positive impact on the competitiveness of industries and sectors, it should be borne in mind that actions to support their development should follow from an objective, thorough assessment of the presented non-economic potential associated with the degree of business concentration. These measures should be implemented within the framework of well-thought-out strategies that reflect economic policies aimed at creating high international competitiveness of individual sectors of the economy. The purpose of the article is to study the current state of the Russian agro-industrial complex on the example of agri-food complex clusters in the aspect of product export. The construction of these models was preceded by a critical analysis of the main aspects of the typology of business clusters and an attempt to determine the relationship between the emergence of clusters and innovations in industries and sectors.
