At this point of time specificity of the AIC is spatial dispersion, the availability of seasonal production, the diversity of forms of ownership and the scale of activities, which determines the presence of a higher organic composition of capital.

In conducting of this study, there are methods were used: economic-statistical analysis, multivariate research. The conducted research allowed summarizing some of the empirical data on the prospects for formation and development of agro-food clusters.
