egic management based on econometric modeling. The concept of “resource potential” is examined from a scientific perspective, and its current state in the country’s agro-industrial complex is analyzed at the present stage of industry development. The study identifies such problems as the deterioration of the material and technical base, insufficient financial resources, and low rates of innovation adoption. It is demonstrated that the limited availability of financial resources is one of the key obstacles to the development of the agro-industrial complex. To address the identified problems, promising directions for the implementation of regional programs aimed at the development of the agro-industrial complex and its components are considered. An analysis of international experience on these issues is conducted, and the authors propose methodological approaches to the development of resource potential and present a multifactor regression model.
