Abstract:

The cluster approach is an effective instrument for improving the micro-economical and social background of a certain geographic region. Porter connects clusters to the geographic and territorial closeness, and defines the cluster as a “geographic concentration of companies and institutions in a certain area, that are connected to each other” (Porter, 1998). The agro-manufacture clusters are a type of industrial clusters, combining the aims of agricultural producers and food industry for achieving higher competitiveness in food production. In the modern conditions, in our country the integration in the wine sector can take place on the line grapes production – wine production. The presence of integration connections could lead to reducing transaction expenses. The opportunities for integration in the wine sector are analyzed in this paper.
