Main directions of development of regional dairy-product subcomplex

The trends in the development of the milk and product subcomplex of the Russian Federation and the experience of cluster development in developed countries are analyzed. The possibility of creating a cluster in the Saratov region has been substantiated. This cluster will eliminate duplication of production and selling and marketing functions of the milk market subjects, as well as reduce the total costs by more than 4% on average. According to the authors, it will lead to an increase in efficiency production and incentives for the development of infrastructure and rural areas.
