Abstract: Aggregation of the main economic indicators made it possible to determine the main districts of the Saratov region that are appropriate and most effective for inclusion in the territorial oil and fat cluster. Based on the obtained assessment, a formalization of an aggregated model of the raw material base of municipalities of a “high” degree of reliability is proposed, which includes Pugachevsky, Perelyubsky, Kalininsky and Ivanteevsky districts. In the structure of aggregate indicators of the Saratov region, their share was: income from product sales - 34.26%; commercial products – 34.94%; sunflower sown area – 35.96%; direct labor costs – 41.41%; total cost – 16.76%. A comparative analysis of the economic indicators of the regions with a “high degree of reliability” of the first basic and second optimization options shows the advantages of the predicted proportions for the development of the oil and fat sub complex of the Saratov The agricultural formation includes a specialized organization of the agro-industrial cluster, which allows you to more accurately determine the volumes of raw materials purchased from manufacturers and plan the rhythmic activities of your processing enterprises, as well as determine in advance the needs for processed products and funds for mutual settlements for purchased raw materials, providing for mutual interest and mutual benefit of the parties. To ensure successful of the sale of sunflower oilseeds, they plan the starting sales volume in January, September, October, November, December, with the minimum established prices of trading platforms of the Volga Federal District, and the redistribution of the sales volume of oilseeds for months with a maximum selling price from April to July, which will allow increase the level of profitability by 2.95 percentage points and increase profit by 24.4% in relation to the calculated option.
