INCREASING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX BASED ON THE CLUSTER APPROACH ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE KULOB REGION OF THE REPUBLIC OF TAJIKISTAN
The article discusses scientific approaches to clustering the agro-industrial complex of the Kulob region. The development of theoretical and methodological foundations and practical recommendations for assessing the economic efficiency of the formation of a regional cluster is of paramount importance. The solution of these problems is especially important, since its potential allows to ensure a high volume of production, processing and sale of agricultural products. The structure of the Kulob industrial regional cluster and models of the influence of external and internal factors at the micro-, meso- and macrolevels on the competitiveness of the agro-industrial complex have been developed.
