shown that the clustering of the economy is
determined in advance and it has a decisive effect on
increasing competitiveness and accelerating the

President of the Republic of Uzbekistan "Republic of
Uzbekistan" dated October 23, 2019 Decree No. PF-
5853 "On approving the strategy of agricultural
development for 2020-2030" focuses on the
implementation of the following measures, i.e.,
"...cooperation and a system of product production,
processing, storage and sale to domestic and foreign
markets will be established based on the cluster
system.
Literature review. M. Porter is the first scientist who
began to study clusters extensively. He concludes that
the network (network) approach to the organization
and management of production in the conditions of
globalization is losing its position, and cluster
organization systems of mutual relations between
firms and organizations are in the first place.

innovation and production.

achieving competitive advantages by combining their
actions through centralized coordination using the
corporate hierarchy and the market mechanism.
2.
Production cluster - unites agricultural
producers, processing and storage of products, a
network of logistics and marketing companies,
enterprises of the service sector. Its main advantages,
compared to the network system of agricultural
production organization, are closer and "cheaper"

conditions, as well as achieving significant competitive
advantages by creating a closed production cycle,

Discussion and results. The competitiveness of
agricultural products is a microeconomic category,
therefore, raising its level is a reflection of the interests
of the subjects of the agrarian sector of the economy.
In the delivery of agricultural products the dialectic of
competitiveness is that it is the unity of the economic
interests of the agricultural sector and the state,
together with the opposite is also shown. National

view of that is, one on the other hand, the
competitiveness of agricultural products level is known

by regulating them and its establishment is under the
authority of the state. On the other hand,

strengthening the competitiveness of agricultural
products is a national economic interest to the field
dependent was in particular economic and food allows
to solve a whole series of problems of a
macroeconomic nature, such as ensuring security.
In order to realize the competitive potential of the
regions of the country, it is necessary to develop a
concept of long-term socio-economic development,
which provides for the creation of a network of
regional production clusters, as well as the formation
of a number of high-tech clusters in the regions of the
country.
Intersectoral integration of agriculture is the
organization of joint activities using mechanisms of
shareholding, cooperation or clustering. Today, large
farms ensure their development using shareholding
mechanisms, and medium and small farms -
cooperation and clustering mechanisms. Cluster
entities play an important role in increasing the
competitiveness of agriculture. The use of the
clustering mechanism allows organizing joint activities
due to their deep production specialization without
losing the legal independence of all technologically
related farms located in a certain area. Cluster of
agriculture within The comparison of joint activity with
other forms of integration is characterized by the
following features:
territorial localization, geographical proximity
of the main part of economic entities participating in
the cluster;
cooperation, specialization and concentration

the stability of the economic relations of the
participants of the cluster system, the superiority of
these relations for the majority of its participants;

World practice shows that clusters are one of the
forms of adapting the economic mechanism of the
operation of agricultural enterprises in a competitive
environment, accelerating the development of agro-
industrial production, increasing the competitiveness
of certain economic entities and agricultural products,
and effectively organizing innovative processes. such
as ensuring its implementation, forming a unique
economic space in order to expand the volume of
trade, effective use of capital and resources.
The innovation structure of the cluster helps to reduce
the total costs of research and development of
innovations by increasing the efficiency of the
production structure, allowing cluster members to
continuously carry out innovative activities for a long
time. Thus, the cluster performs several main functions
at the same time:
scientific,
technical,
organizational
and
economic innovations spread from one enterprise to
another, ensuring a continuous increase in productivity
in the cluster as a whole;
costs are reduced, opportunities for research
and development of innovations are expanded due to
the proximity of related enterprises;
all cluster members will have a synergistic
effect due to the stability of mutual relations, cost
reduction and rational use of material, natural and
labor resources;
all
cluster
members
gain
additional
competitive advantages under the cumulative effect of
scale effects and synergies.
Since the cluster is a "point of growth" in the socio-
economic development of the regions, the clustering
of agricultural products is one of the main factors for
ensuring the sustainable development of the agrarian
sector and increasing the competitiveness of
agriculture. The agroindustry cluster has a number of
features for increasing the competitiveness of
agriculture:
1.
Regional agro-industrial cluster is a voluntary
association of enterprises, institutions or other
organizations engaged in agro-industrial production
issues, engaged in one or more sectors (adjacent to
agriculture) that are geographically close enough
(geographical localization of agricultural products).
2.
Competitive advantage is created not only by
business entities, but also by their territorial multi-level
and multi-sectoral associations.
3.
Conquering consumers is carried out not by
individual agriculture, but by a complex of territorial
enterprises - a cluster.
4.
Within the framework of the cluster, the
concentration of resources is carried out, their use is
aimed at achieving the common goal set for all
participants and accepted by them, a single economic
and informational space is created, management of
labor force, integration of intellectual capital and

expansion of product sales markets due to the

creating an effective system for obtaining and

Cluster development can become a characteristic
feature of the modern innovative economy as a factor
of increasing the competitiveness of agriculture and
the agro-industrial complex in general. Due to the
accumulated experience in the operation of clusters,
we developed the concept of clustering during our
research. The main essence of this concept is that there
are five necessary conditions - "5I" - a cluster can
provide viable, self-sufficient, successful and effective

advantages of clustering for the agriculture of our
country should be as follows:

distribution of markets in accordance with
specialization and possibilities of activity, prevention of
ineffective competition;
