CHARACTERISTIC OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL ECONOMIC INTEGRATION IN AGRICULTURE OF CIS COUNTRIES IN CONJUNCTION WITH NATIONAL INTERESTS OF RUSSIA
The development of regional economic integration in the post-Soviet space in the context of globalization and crisis phenomena in many countries of the world acquires special sig-nificance. In this regard, the study of the previous experience of the development of integration seems very important in order to understand what forms of regional economic integration are appli-cable in the post-Soviet space. The processes of economic integration in the agriculture in the post-Soviet space that are taking place at present are not so much connected with the search for new ways of interaction and mutual adaptation of the agro-industrial complexes of the post-Soviet states, but rather with the restoration of the lost economic integration ties. Despite the fact that the CIS member states differ in their natural-geographical features and level of socio-economic development, the issues of the agro-industrial complex development for them are in many respects similar. There is a sufficiently high level of coincidence of the goals of the development of national agribusinesses, taking into account the natural and socio-economic conditions of their functioning and, in general, the economic policies of each of the states. All member states of the Commonwealth set goals based on real opportunities, with an orientation in the immediate or in the longer term to increase the export of agricultural products.
