Meso-cluster typology of production complex of rural municipalities of the Krasnodar region

Abstract

The article reveals advantages of the cluster approach at the regional level; the analysis of features of the functioning of the fruit and berry subcomplex of the region, represented by 37 rural districts, was performed; prospects for further expansion of this sector of agricultural production by clustering them were identified. The clustering method made it possible to determine identification signs of the development of micro-clusters and to extract potential territories that acted as integrators of growth within the fruit cluster. Based on the analysis carried out, a meso-cluster typology of fruit-producing areas of the Krasnodar Region was carried out, taking into account dominant factors in the concentration of fruit production and the analysis of directions for final product sale.
