Abstract: 
 
This paper is devoted on the methodology for assessing the development of extra- and intra-
integration structures. This methodology consists of three levels of economic assessment of 
the agro-industrial sector: the regional level, the economic sector level, and the enterprise 
level. The agro-industrial complex of the Altai Republic has positive business dynamics due 
to the development of the livestock industry. Through assessing the business outlook for 
agro-industrial integration using the three levels, it has been determined that the livestock 
industry has the greatest potential for creating large integrated structures in the Altai 
Republic.
 
The study justifies the need for creating an internal cluster (intra-cluster) in the maral deer 
breeding sphere of the Altai Republic, and an external cluster (extra-cluster) in the sphere of 
meat-and-dairy cattle breeding in the Altai Republic and the Altai Territory. The authors 
propose a ‘business-as-usual’ and a target scenario for the development of the agro-
industrial complex of the Altai Republic until 2025.
 
The target scenario reflects the effectiveness of the proposed measures for the development 
of the agro-industrial complex of the Altai Republic. According to this scenario, the 
formation of intra-clusters and extra-clusters in 2025 will lead to an increase in total profits 
of the livestock industry enterprises under analysis by 451 million rubles and of budget 
allocations by 194.3 million rubles. The goal of this study is to develop theoretical and 
methodological guidelines for shaping and developing integrated structures in the agro-
industrial complex.
