The proposed directions will ensure the dynamic growth and obtain sustainable balanced rural development of the region, decreasing the natural and economic asymmetries for providing its stability. It has been proved that one of the directions of development of agriculture and rural territories in Volyn region is adopting the European model as a promising form of agricultural production, and the organization of life of rural population. Practical significance of the solved task lies in the fact that obtained results, formulated conclusions and suggested propositions will contribute to developing the efficient strategies and programs of the socio-economic development of rural territorial communities and ensure the formation and implementation of economic potentials of the researched region in terms of Eurointegration and decentralization of management.
