Abstract
The export potential of a region can be characterized as the possibility of producing the necessary quantity of goods for the purpose of export sales, corresponding in their quality and competitiveness to the demands of an external market relative to a region. But potential is not only and not just the amount of resources, but also the possibility of developing the system in a given direction. The agro-industrial complex today plays a particularly important social role, not only solving the issues of food supply of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, but also providing basic employment and incomes of the population of agricultural areas and maintaining the system of settlement of the region.
