Abstract: The implementation of the goals and objectives of the State Program for the Development of Agriculture and the regulation of markets for agricultural products, raw materials and food determine the need to develop new mechanisms for the rational functioning of agro-industrial formations in new, difficult economic conditions. The purpose of the work is to build a model of the relationship between strategies, interaction tools and the difficulties of partnership between participants in the oil and fat subcomplex cluster of the region. The relevance of the study is justified by the increase in 2023 in the Saratov region of oilseed processing capacity by 500 thousand tons, the production of vegetable oils by 200 thousand tons and the need to solve the problem of providing raw materials (oilseeds). To achieve this goal, the possibilities of constructing a block model of the architecture of the relationship between strategies for creating a cluster of the oil and fat subcomplex in the region were used. The main business processes and business functions in the cluster are studied using elements and approaches of graphic notations of the IDEF0 standard and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation, the «AS IS» model, and the achievement of the strategic goals of the cluster is the construction of a «TO-BE» model «how should be» – models of the target state. To select and justify competitive strategies, a model of five basic competition strategies was used, presented by A. Thompson according to the modified system of M. Porter: leadership strategy through cost savings; differentiation strategy, or product leadership; strategy of specialization (focusing). Various options for the practical implementation of this model in the strategy of enterprise participation in the cluster are considered. The studied models show that close interaction of economic agents included in the cluster can give far from unambiguous results. Consequently, during the formation of a cluster, its strategy and relationships, it is necessary to solve a strategic problem – determining the composition of the cluster and the requirements for its individual agents.
