Abstract. The hypothesis of the study is that the modern conditions have led to increase in complexity of the institutional environment of agriculture in the Russian Federation, simultaneously accompanied by the centralization of state regulation at the federal level and its defragmentation in accordance with the characteristics of regional systems which in turn motivates the need of organizing and building coordinated interactions through the implementation of targeted management. The article presents the scientific and practical aspects of program management of the effective development of the agro-industry at the regional level. Analysis of scientific sources showed that this topic is widely discussed in the works of domestic economists-agrarians. At the same time in the regional practice, the key tools of program management are not fully used as a means of achieving a new quality of domestic agriculture. This is related to many negative trends and disparities of agricultural activities in some regions of the country, disclosed by the example of Perm region. The analysis allowed the authors to note the key principles and factors of program management, ensuring the integration of regional target programs in the federal integrated model of hierarchical governance structures of the agrarian economy. The paper contains the conclusion about the necessity of involvement of independent highly qualified scientific and practical experts in the development of regional target programs and moni- toring their execution, as a key condition for overcoming bureaucratic formalism in agricultural management. Inчcompliance with the principle of scientific justification and the availability of alternative scenarios, program-target approach may provide the desired synergy and become a frame of self-organization of regional agriculture, which may further lead to a new cycle and quality development.
