Abstract
The importance of the considered questions connected with formation and development of the territorial clusters in the food industry is caused by necessity of the expansion of small and medium entrepreneurship sector (SME-sector) in the regions of the Russian Federation and ensuring food security in the country. Along with other effective instruments of the SME-development such as mechanisms of methodical, information and consulting, financial, legal, educational support of the small and medium entrepreneurship in the agro-industrial sphere, the expediency of economic clusterization in the food industry is proved, the necessity for obligatory inclusion of the clusterization principle as a key principle for forming new economic policy at the regional and national levels is proved. In the article in an evolutionary context the prerequisites of SME-integration and SME-clusterization in the agro-industrial sphere in Russia taking into account an aggravation of food security in the country, WTO membership and restriction of the state support for agricultural producers, and also import substitution and introduction of the economic sanctions at the international level are revealed. As a result of the comparative analysis of the federal programs for cluster development of the regions in the Russian Federation the insufficiency of the state support for clusters in the food industry is determinate, the necessity of the using new tools of the cluster policy such as the regional cluster development centers is proved. The analysis of the positive effects from SME-clusterization made in the research in relation to agro-industrial sector allows to expand forms of the state support to agriculture limited to WTO sanctions in the present context. The practical significance of the research consists in possibility for the expansion of financial SME-support in a cluster from different sources. It promotes production improvement, innovation burst, increase of SME-competitiveness in the regional, national and world markets.
