1. Introduction
At the present stage, the country's economy is facing one of its main goals - ensuring
the state’s food security. Achieving this goal involves solving two main tasks:
firstly, the country needs a transition to an innovation-based development, and,
secondly, the country needs a rapid promotion of substituting
imports in the food
sector (Akhmetshin
et al., 2018a). The solution of these tasks is possible through the
formation and development of integration structures in the local Agro-industrial
Complex (AIC). Agro-industrial integration through
the mobilization of raw
materials and the technological potential of the areas can significantly enhance the
competitiveness of the agro-industrial sector, and, as a result, have a positive impact
on the macroeconomic indicators of national development (Gritsenko and Borisova,
2014).
