Abstract: The universal strategic planning system does not fully take into account the specialization of individual macro-regions with different levels of economic, financial, environmental and social sustainability and efficiency. Balanced spatial development of macro-regions is based on the rational use of the diversity of economic opportunities of the subjects of the Russian Federation that are part of the federal District, their natural resources, accumulated scientific, technical and human potential, the advantages of territorial division of labour and industrial cooperation with a general focus on the integrated socio-economic development of regions; implementation of special employment programs in labour-surplus regions, measures to raise depressed areas. The analysis shows that the strategic documents existing at the level of the North Caucasus Federal District (NCFD) and at the level of its subjects define the main directions, ways and means of achieving the goals of sustainable development and ensuring national security of the territories, without highlighting the system of the main industries that have a system of unique competitive advantages and can become "points of growth". For the NCFD, economic priorities are related to the agricultural sector of the economy, which is the main one for socio-economic development, the formation of a competitive environment in the regions, and solving the problem of employment in the North Caucasus. In the article, the planning system for the development of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) of the North Caucasus Federal District is structured according to territorial levels of management. Then the blocks devoted to the development of agro-industrial complex strategies of the North Caucasus Federal District and subjects are analyzed, their common and unique are highlighted. The organizational and economic mechanism for the development of a conceptual and strategic document for the development of agriculture at the federal district level and the structure of the concept of sustainable development of agriculture of the North Caucasus Federal District, taking into account the territorial differentiation of conditions and results of activities based on effective interaction and realization of the potentials of the multi-layered agrarian economy of the subjects of the district and selective state support, are proposed.
