A comprehensive solution to the problem of innovative development of the agricultural sector is the formation of a cluster policy at both the state and regional levels. Adjustment of state and regional strategic plans and target programs considering the cluster initiative will allow to achieve the target strategic guidelines for the development of the agricultural cluster, to ensure the implementation of the goals and objectives of the development of the territory of the region. Strategic planning for the development of the region's economy, including the agricultural and processing sectors, should be based on the peculiarities of the territory, considering the disparities in the development of individual districts.
