Abstract: The relevance of the research topic is due to the current geopolitical and dynamically changing economic conditions, the transformation of food markets and world trade, which determine the need to find ways to grow the Russian economy, including in traditional areas of the agro-industrial complex. In the practice of many foreign countries, the use of the cluster approach is considered as one of the most effective ways of developing territories. Our country is no exception and is implementing cluster policy in the regions of the Russia. The article presents the results of an analysis of clusters in the regions of the Siberian Federal District (SFD). The purpose of the study is to substantiate the need for the development of agro-industrial complex clusters in the regions of Siberia, taking into account world experience and the peculiarities of their functioning in the Russian Federation. The hypothesis of the study is the assumption that the integration of the best practices of cluster policy of foreign countries into the Russian agro-industrial complex will increase its competitiveness and ensure the realization of export potential. Based on an analysis of the development of the agro-industrial complex, including the oil and fat industry of the regions of the Siberian Federal District, the conditions for the production of fat and oil products that satisfy external and internal demand and the state agenda for cluster development of the district, the creation of an export-oriented cluster of the oil and fat subcomplex of the agro-industrial complex of Siberia has been proposed. The creation of a cluster is necessary to improve the efficiency of agricultural export management in the regions of the Siberian Federal District. The functionality of the cluster structure is based on the creation of a center for investment and innovation, with a predominance of foreign investors for the implementation of export-oriented projects and the organization of joint ventures for the production of fat and oil products of various technological stages.
