Improving the structure of the economic activity of all sectors of the economy is undoubtedly closely related to the industrial policy pursued by the state in technological fields. The transformations that have taken place directly affect the structural changes, which are expressed in the expansion of the share of industries with higher labor productivity and less energyintensive products.

The current state of lending to agricultural production in Belarus, including in relation to the main production, economic and financial indicators of the functioning of agricultural producers, is analyzed. The main problems of the sphere of crediting of domestic agriculture are revealed. Given that the low efficiency of lending to the agricultural sector is largely due to shortcomings in the field of investment activity, the key directions of its improvement are shown. The creation of agricultural credit cooperatives in the agricultural sector of Belarus, which have proven themselves in the practice of economically developed countries, is proposed as an important direction of reducing the cost of borrowed capital.

The stated theoretical positions are adapted to real practice, in particular, when implementing the exportoriented cluster policy of the agroindustrial complex. To this end, the main criteria for the exportoriented policy were determined and an approximate algorithm was developed for implementing such a policy in the country’s agroindustrial complex. in this context, a scientific definition of exportoriented cluster policy was given, a goal and tasks were identified, criteria for the sustainable development of the aic were established, identifications of vertical and horizontal clusters were proposed, ways to stimulate the formation of exportoriented cluster initiatives were identified, a set of measures aimed at the development of exportoriented clusters was proposed, the stages and order of creation exportoriented clusters were established.

The article summarizes the main approaches of the market development in general and the food market in particular where approaches are also grouped according to selected criteria. The interdisciplinary approach was used for theoretical and methodological justification concepts of sustainable development of the food market.

With the use of an integral indicator of the efficiency of grain production by agricultural organizations of the Grodno region in 2015-2017 homogeneous groups of districts (clusters) were formed. The average values of indicators (integral and initial) in clusters are analyzed. a system of 9 performance indicators was used. The basis of the study was the method of kmeans cluster analysis, implemented in the package statistica. The reliability of differences in the mean values of the integral indicator in the clusters was checked by the scheffe criterion.

The influence of agrochemical melioration on efficiency increase of unproductive sour soils and productivity of various crops is considered. it is shown that optimum рн levels on peat soils are much lower than on mineral ones. it is caused with various acidity nature. in the first case it is defined by a hydrogen ion, and in the second - hydrogen and even more harmful aluminum. data on existence of the drained peat soils on groups of acidity in the conditions of the republic are provided. Recommendations about efficiency increase of lime application of unproductive sour soils are made.
