Abstract: In recent years, modern meat industry enterprises are being rapidly formed in the Russia. However, there are significant problems related to the lack of financial and resource support for this industry, as well as the instability of demand for manufactured products and its weak competitiveness. This situation was partly due to the outdated structure of the meat processing complex economy, inherited by modern Russia from the USSR, and the general technological backwardness of the Soviet industry. The aim of the study is a comprehensive study of the current trends in the meat industry in order to develop proposals for the creation of modern and highly efficient industrial-type complexes for the slaughter of livestock, primary and deep processing of meat. Foreign and domestic experience shows that for profitable production of meat and meat products it is advisable to use cooperation and integration in the form of a cluster between enterprises of the industry and related industries. The article considers the prospects of creating clusters of meat direction in the Russia, which allow to significantly increasing economic efficiency and social sphere of the regions. The study used an assessment of theoretical and practical aspects on the formation of clusters of meat direction. The main factors affecting their establishment and production activities were identified, including the availability of: the necessary raw material base; Engineering and transport infrastructure; investment attractiveness of the project; geographically close production and processing enterprises; relevant professionals and researchers. It was concluded that it is necessary to further implement the cluster approach in the Russian Federation in order to increase the volume of meat production, increase its competitiveness, further develop the export potential of the industry and generally improve the socio-economic situation in the country.
