Formation of the system of industrial and agricultural cooperation of the EAEU countries as a key element of the Eurasian integration model

Eurasian Economic Union is a main foreign economic project of Russia in the 21st century. Its preservation and expansion in the context of anti-Russian sanctions is extremely significant for all the member countries. The study is devoted to the problem of the low level of industrial and agricultural cooperation between the EAEU countries. The topic of the study is of high relevance due to the sanctions pressure on the Russian Federation and Belarus, the need for import substitution, creation of the national industrial complex in strategically important industries, the need for economic resistance to the pressure of the “collective West”. The purpose of the study is to identify the opportunities for the development of integration model of the Eurasian Economic Union on the basis of industrial and agricultural cooperation. The authors put forward a hypothesis that amplification of industrial cooperation within the Eurasian Economic Union will ensure a significant growth of its integration effects. To achieve this goal and check the hypothesis the following methods were used: the method of dynamical normative, the index method of international trade assessment, building ascending cooperative chains of the Economic Cooperation and Development Organization. Among the research results, there is evidence of the primary role of cooperation to create attractive economic and integration models of the Eurasian Economic Union.
