Abstract: Agro-industrial integration is a natural form of organizing food chains in the agro-food complex, which ensures the involvement of interacting entities in the common economic space on the principles of rationalization and optimization of technological, organizational and economic relationships, as well as the stability of inter-link and inter-subject interactions. Based on the principle of economic feasibility, the choice of a specific form of agro-industrial integration is based on the complex influence of a combination of factors influencing the process of formalizing integration interactions both at the macroeconomic level and at the levels of specific product chains and individual business entities. The possibility of implementing one or another model of agro-industrial integration is determined taking into account the combined influence of heterogeneous factors in the context of the operation of the law of economic feasibility, which determines the rational schemes of integration interactions of subjects united in certain food chains. As the main conditions for initiating the transition to a cluster model of integration in the agro-food complex, it is proposed to single out the following ones: the presence of stable inter-subject and inter-industry relations; territorial localization of economic spaces; development of public-private partnership; the possibility of separating the main (product) and the related segments; the ability of competing entities to consolidate interests; availability of tools to maintain the flexibility of the system of cluster interactions; the possibility of implementing a common technical and technological policy of integrating entities; the possibility of creating an adequate infrastructure support system, etc. Based on the strengths and weaknesses of the existing system of integration interactions in the agro-food complex of the Voronezh region identified as a result of the SWOT analysis, the opportunities and threats to its development, a matrix of actions to improve it was substantiated.
