Modeling the economic mechanism of integration in a dairy-food cluster

Abstract

Relevance. The analysis of the state and development of production and economic activities of agricultural enterprises of the Kortkerossky district of the Komi Republic leads to the conclusion that to solve the problems of agricultural production, it is more urgent than ever to form a cluster structure that will ensure the competitive advantage and sustainability of the development of the dairy subcomplex in the region.

Methods. As an economic mechanism for agro-industrial integration in the dairy cluster, it is proposed to use the transfer price mechanism, which will allow producers to sell raw materials at higher prices, and the processing enterprise to pay for part of the product not at the time of the transaction, but after a certain period of time.

Results. Based on the development of the dairy cluster, the economic interaction of participants in agro-industrial integration is modeled according to a new scheme based on transfer prices and including producers of agricultural products, as well as its processor. For the first time in the project of cluster structure, it is proposed to provide the placement of an electronic trading and purchasing platform.
