Abstract: Accelerated development of integration processes in the agri-food complex has been one of the import phase-out factors in the food provision of the population. Functioning of integrated structures has multiplicating social and economic effect. Being the major players on the agri-food market, they have significant influence on the social and economic development of the host regions and, in their turn, they are involved in the integrated structures development. At the same time, interests of stakeholders and integrated structures can not only be different but also opposite. Therefore, the goals and objectives of integrated structures functioning can come in to collision with the regional interests. Economic dominance of integrated structures in the region of production facilities location contributes to their further development, extension of the geographic footprint and formation of interregional agroholdings. At the same time, attention to the interests of stakeholders of the host region decreases, the integrity of its agri-food complex disappears. Positions of the economically feeble regions become weaker. Transfer of the production or processing of the agricultural products to another territory stipulates the decrease of self-sufficiency of the region with food, loss of taxation base and work places reduction. This intensified seven more the disproportions in the development of agri-food complex of the regions. In economically developed regions there are more favourable conditions for integrated structures functioning that stipulate the growth of food goods production growth.
