Abstract: The article explores the possibilities of developing network interaction of business entities of the agro-industrial complex of the Krasnodar Region with the participation of small forms of agribusiness. Based on the analysis of organizational, economic, institutional factors, a structural and functional model has been developed that reflects the actor composition, forms and mechanisms of network interaction of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex of the region. This model allows identifying key growth points and risks in the process of integration of business entities of the agro-industrial complex of the region. An analysis of the dynamics of agricultural production by categories of farms was carried out, territorial and industry features of the agricultural sector of the economy of the Krasnodar Region were revealed. It was revealed that in 2024 the share of agricultural organizations was 66 percent, and peasant (farm) households – 24 percent in the total volume of crop products. In animal husbandry, absolute leadership also belongs to large organizations. The following risks were identified: a decrease in the share of farms, stagnation of production in households. The significant role of small agribusiness in the formation and development of innovation-oriented production and technological chains in the regional agro-industrial complex, ensuring food security and competitiveness of the region in the face of external challenges is substantiated. The key growth points are identified: integration of small forms, dissemination of innovative technologies, consolidation of resources. The developed model includes three elements: participants in the interaction, its forms and mechanisms of regulation and support, with a list of specific economic entities, cooperation schemes, cluster and digital platforms. It has been established that the introduction of cooperation, clustering and digitalization mechanisms contributes to the growth of the efficiency of reproduction processes, cost reduction, and an increase in the level of specialization and sustainability of the agro-industrial complex. The need to strengthen state support measures for network interaction of economic entities of the regional agro-industrial complex in quasi-integrated formations with the participation of small agribusinesses is emphasized. Particular attention is paid to assessing the impact of cooperation mechanisms, clustering, and the introduction of digital technologies on the dynamics of reproduction processes, the structural transformation of intersectoral ties and relations in the agro-industrial complex of the Krasnodar Region. The practical implementation of the model will strengthen food independence, increase competitiveness and ensure long-term development of the agricultural sector of the Krasnodar Region.
