ECONOMIC AND MATHEMATIC MODELING OF THE REGION’S AGRO-FOOD CLUSTER
One of the possible instruments of sustainable development of regional agriculture complex could become a regional integrated structure as the agro-food cluster. In the article the necessity of application of economic-mathematical modelling of the forming and development of integrated structures in the agro-industrial complex are justified. Solving this problem requires the development of mathematical models of management of agricultural industry, its subsystems and integrated structures to assess the effectiveness of their activities. Proposed content and mathematical formulation of the problem of modeling the regional agro-food cluster, as well as the mathematical model based on the optimization-simulation approach. The mathematical model in the form of multiparameter linear programming task determins the optimal level of investments, production and revenues from sales of products for the operation of the regional agro-food cluster. Selected class of mathematical model gives us the foundation for an effective theoretical and numerical analysis.
