Abstract: The studies of the strategic development of Siberia and its territories are prompted by the Russian government’s approval in early 2023 of the Strategy for Socio-Economic Development of Siberian Federal District until 2035. Siberia’s long-term development agenda has once again defined its status of a territory of economic growth in Russia. According to the state priorities outlined in the strategic document, sustainable development of Siberia is associated with transition from production of raw materials organizing their advanced processing and creating products with high added value. The agro-industrial complex of SFD, being one of the promising areas of the district development in the conditions of transformation of the economy and foreign economic relations of the Russian Federation, can become an innovation centre generating high-quality technological and environmentally friendly products in demand both in the domestic and foreign food market. The hypothesis of the study is that the realization of the integration scenario of SFD development within the framework of the approved Strategy can ensure efficient development of its constituents’ economies as well as strengthen the position of Siberia as a macro-region of the country. The basic conditions for realizing the Strategy on the basis of the integration scenario include synchronization of the national strategies and the strategies of the Siberian constituent entities within the Russian Federation, their complementation with auxiliary mechanisms as well as creation of specialized decision-making centres. The Strategy should develop an organizational and economic mechanism making it possible to form comprehensive system solutions that will ensure efficient planning, in particular, in the agro-industrial complex. The relevance of this mechanism is accounted for by the need to eliminate contradictions in the governmental strategic documents of different level and to ensure consistency and coherence of managerial decisions. The due interconnection of elements of the strategic planning system developed for the agro-industrial complex as well as the competent formation of its documents will increase their practical value for interregional and regional management and will form proper guidelines for external actors, including investors planning to invest in the Russian economy.
