The agro-industrial complex has always been and remains the basic branch of the Russian economy. Currently, its importance is increasing, due to the desire for food independence of the country. The purposeful development of the agro-industrial complex is a strategic goal of state policy, which causes scientific interest in the study of the potential of the industry. The potential acts as a basic subsystem of the development of the agro-industrial complex, which plays a decisive role in shaping the directions and priorities of the development of the complex. The management of the strategic development of the agro-industrial complex should be based on comprehensive studies of its multifaceted potential, which is both the basis for the development of the complex and an active dynamic subsystem capable of using hidden opportunities for the purposeful development of the agro-industrial complex in the future.
