Theoretical analysis of agricultural clusters in innovative economy

Abstract

This article analyzes the theoretical aspects of clusters in the innovative economy and their management, including the increase in economic efficiency of agro-clusters as a result of the organization of the agricultural sector on the basis of “production - service - production - storage - supply - processing - sales” development of cluster services, increase in production and diversification of exported finished products as a result of improvements, the authors have developed a unique, new definition of the term “cluster”. From a methodological point of view, the “face” of a cluster, its specialization and name are formed by the cluster core companies, and this is of fundamental importance. Companies that belong to one cluster core cannot access the core of another cluster, but can participate in another cluster at the second or third level of the cluster structure. As the companies in the cluster core produce the same type of products, competition between them will continue. A key feature of the cluster core is the competition between the companies that make it up, i.e. there is both competition and collaboration in the cluster core. As a result authors, proposals were made to improve the efficiency of clusters in Uzbekistan.
