Abstract: The permanent strengthening of sanctions pressure on the Russian economy, the importance of ensuring food security, expansion and reorientation of exports actualize the need for accelerated development of the domestic agro-industrial complex on an intensive innovation basis. An effective comprehensive solution to this problem is the creation of cluster formations. In recent years, the activation of the clustering process has been recorded in the agro-industrial complex, but so far its scale is not significant, which is determined by the presence of methodological flaws, imperfect legislation and, as a result, the lack of systematic support for cluster projects, a unified information base on existing and potential agro-industrial clusters, the lack of a universal method of cluster formation at the regional level. The purpose of the work was to develop the concept of the implementation of the cluster initiative in the agro-industrial complex at the regional level. As a result of the conducted research, the concept of forming an export-oriented cluster-type association in the grain-product subcomplex of the Saratov region is proposed on the platform of identified agricultural, processing and marketing enterprises with high export potential (participants of the protocluster) and a functional map of the cluster, including schemes of organizational and functional dependence of participating enterprises, implying industry specifics and reflecting the processes of logistics and pricing in accordance with the functional content by including in the institutional environment of the cluster servicing satellites (supplying organizations of educational, financial, credit and insurance spheres), coordinating structure (specialized organization of the cluster - the Center for Cluster Development). The expediency of creating an export-oriented cluster-type association in the grain-product subcomplex of the Saratov region is determined by the border location and specialization of the region.
