Abstract: The article discusses the current state of the export potential of the agro-industrial complex of the region as a whole, and explores the possibilities of forming an export-oriented cluster of the grain product subcomplex. The study and assessment of the prospects and potential for the development of an export-oriented cluster were carried out in relation to the natural and climatic conditions of the Saratov region. From the standpoint of a systematic approach, the study used materials from the Ministries of Economic Development and Agriculture of the Russian Federation and the Saratov Region, the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), and the Federal Customs Service (FTS) of Russia. To achieve this goal, empirical (observation, comparison) and theoretical research methods (analysis, synthesis, deduction) were used. Companies producing and processing products of the grain product subcomplex are relatively compact geographically located in the region, which creates real prerequisites for their association into an export cluster. One of the approaches to the formation of a cluster is considered as a mechanism for the process of influencing an object. At the same time, management functions are implemented through legislative, financial, economic, organizational and administrative methods of influence to ensure the continuous development of the object (in our case, a cluster), which is confirmed by the relative indicators of the region's export opportunities. Studies of the dynamics and structure of exports of agricultural products of the region allow us to conclude that the possibilities of organizational and economic structures and management levels in the agro-industrial complex of the country, region, and the grain industry have created all the prerequisites for the formation and development of an export-oriented cluster of grain products subcomplex in the region.
