The agro-industrial complex of Russia demonstrates a lag (which grew bigger in the last decade) of the rates of creation of corporate structures of various kinds and food production from the rates of production of agricultural raw produce, which causes the food consumption, incomes and employment to reduce and negatively affects the position of the enterprises of the agro-industrial complex. The paper presents the specific features of formation of added value in a regional agro-industrial complex in the time of market transformations, proposes the directions of development of the social and economic mechanism of interactions between the commodity producers in the food chains, of creation of holdings and corporate structures of other kinds, contains measures to coordinate the state and market mechanisms of regulation of the inter-sector interactions aimed at increasing the added value. Also proposed are the new methods of examining the factors of growth of the added value in the sectors of a regional agro-industrial complex, which are based on dynamic series of inter-sector balances of the regional complex formed on the basis of available statistical data by means of synthesizing it. The essence and methods of determining the added value is based on the theory of agro-industrial re-integration, the indisputable advantages of which manifest themselves in lower costs, lower prices of food, greater competitive advantages of domestic commodity producers on the grounds of creation of large integrated structures in the agro-food complex of Russia. The authors investigate the development of new organizational and economic forms and their increasing influence on the dynamics of the added value and food market situation, the competitive potential and advantages of integrated production, the corporate structures and methods of increasing control over the market situation and of keeping up the material and financial balance, providing of new jobs and increasing the incomes of the population.

An important factor for the added value is reduction of transaction costs. The paper shows the influence of the process of creation of integrated structures on the level of transaction costs with the use of vertical reintegration indices and parameters governing the economic behavior of the system.

The research of the inter-sector interactions in the agro-industrial complex and identification of contribution of each element of the integrated structure to the generated added value by assessing the direct, indirect and total costs is based on the assessment of the productivity of the 'input-output' matrixes developed for small and middle businesses operating in the region. The multi-layer system of ma-trix models of inter-sector interactions of the agro-food structures is viewed as new grounds for business plans, programs and forecasts facilitating the added value growth in the agro-industrial complex.
