We have done the analysis of approaches to the assessment of natural agro-potential of the socio-economic system of the region, based on the positions of the different researchers involved in this issue. The purpose of work are to characterize the category of "agro- natural potential" from the standpoint of geo-socio-ecological and economic approach and to consider the main approaches to the study of this concept in the writings of economic geographers, regional experts and scientists in the agricultural sector. It is shown that the most important parameters to take into account and assess agro-natural potential of the socio-economic system of any level are climatic, economic and geographic, demographic, infrastructural and ecological characteristics of the territory.
