Abstract: Russia and Kazakhstan are one of the largest wheat grain producers in the world, with a total production of about 100 million tons in 2020. The export component makes a significant contribution to the profitability of the sub-sector, since the export of wheat grain from Russia and Kazakhstan in 2020 amounted to about 38 million tons and 6 million tons, respectively. Despite significant volumes of wheat grain exports, Russia and Kazakhstan import the most important products of its deep processing from abroad. The unsustainable ratio of grain exports to imports of their products causes significant damage to the agro-industrial complex of each country. In this regard, the creation of an interstate cluster for deep grain processing on the principles of public-private partnership is becoming relevant. The article analyzed the current state of wheat grain production, including in the border subjects of Russia and Kazakhstan, reviewed the experience of countries with a developed industry of deep grain processing, and also analyzed the most popular products of deep grain processing on the Russian market. The creation of a cross-border cluster (Russia-Kazakhstan) on the basis of a public-private partnership for the deep processing of wheat grains into products with high added value, as well as the calculation of the economic efficiency of creating a cluster with a second degree of deep processing of grain of this crop, which provides the greatest synergistic effect, is justified.
