PROBLEMS OF FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF INTEGRATION ASSOCIATIONS IN AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING
The article presents a comparative analysis of the forms of integration associations in the agro-industrial sector of the Altai territory. Features of formation, formation and development of financial and industrial group "Sibagromash" and the Altai cluster of agrarian mechanical engineering are considered. A comparative analysis of the forms of integration associations (FPG, cluster). We note that only with the active support and necessary assistance of regional and federal authorities, it is possible to achieve further effective development in the agro-industrial sector. Objective industrial clusters are one of the most effective forms of integration, due to the achievement of a synergistic effect to ensure the integrated development of rural territories. The cluster will allow to improve agricultural engineering, new jobs are created, with every year there are new equipment that is competitive with foreign counterparts. At the same time we must not forget that in world practice there are many clusters that have not achieved success or no competitive advantage.
