Abstract: From the perspective of the balanced development management, it is proposed to distinguish three types of agro-food systems (AFS): systems of the national, regional level, and the level of integrated formations. Assessing the balance of agro-food systems of various levels should reflect their ability to achieve strategic development goals. The AFS of the country is the key element of the national food supply system, guaranteeing the achievement of balances of certain food types through their own production and the rational export-import policy. The key indicators reflecting the level of balance of the national AFS are proposed to include the level of food security of the country by key types of food resources and the consumption level of the basic food products. The AFSs of the regional level are designed to solve the problems of optimal distribution of agricultural production and food products, aimed at maximizing the use of the agricultural potential of certain territories and minimizing logistics costs and socially necessary costs associated with ensuring the economic and physical availability of food. The key criterion for assessing the balance of regional APS is the level of economic and physical availability of the main food types for the population of the region; and for the regional agro-food complex as its key element it is the level of efficient use of resources of economic entities that implement the functions of agricultural production and processing. It is proposed to use the following as the indicators of the balance of agro-industrial formations: the load level for the production capacities of the processing enterprises; the use of the agrarian potential of agricultural producers; the correspondence of the capabilities of infrastructure to the needs of various parts of technological chains; the correspondence of the financial capabilities of an integrated formation to its ability to ensure sustainable reproduction of all elements of the agro-food system.
