Abstract: In modern economic conditions, cluster structures are one of the most suitable options for the development strategy for agricultural sub complexes. The analysis of the current state of the agricultural sector of the Amur region has shown that a significant share of the gross agricultural output of the region belongs to crop production. In 2020, the volume of agricultural production at current prices amounted to 48.3 billion, the share of crop production – 71%. In this connection, in the conditions of agriculture in the Amur region, which is the breadbasket of the Far East, the development of a cluster strategy for the development of crop production on the basis of a comprehensive strategic analysis of the industry is of particular relevance. Based on the comprehensive strategic analysis of the current state of the crop production industry of the Amur region, the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of development are identified, as well as the existing prospects for the implementation of cluster policy in the region's industry are identified. The analysis of the cluster potential of crop production in the Amur region for the period from 2010 to 2020 determined that against the background of the unambiguous leadership of soybean production in the direction of strategic development, potential product clusters for the production of potatoes and cereals are distinguished on the basis of clustering. Based on the results of the strategic and cluster analysis, as well as taking into account the analytical review of documents regulating the strategic development of the agricultural sectors of Russia, the Far East and the Amur region, the mission, strategic goal, tasks and main priority directions of the cluster strategy for the development of the crop industry of the Amur region are determined. The next stage in the implementation of the designated priority directions of the development of the cluster strategy of the crop industry is the development of forecast development indicators and program measures that ensure the achievement of the strategic goal and the fulfilment of the designated tasks of the developed cluster strategy of the crop industry of the Amur region on the basis of scientifically based innovative approaches and technological solutions.
