In the context of global instability, BRICS is forming a new model of interaction based on equal partnership and the promotion of southern cooperation in the agro-industrial and energy sectors. The Russian Federation has significant potential for development within BRICS, as evidenced by growing export volumes and strategic cooperation with developing countries. The current situation provides the BRICS countries with broad prospects for addressing priority issues (the fight against hunger and energy shortages in some countries, and at the same time, an excess of fuel and energy resources in others) and diversifying foreign trade, as well as strengthening their positions in global markets. The aim of the study is to analyze the development problems of two key sectors of the BRICS economies (agro-industrial and energy) and, on this basis, expand trade between the BRICS countries and beyond the association, which reduces dependence on traditional partners who use various instruments of economic and political pressure on developing countries and Russia, and contributes to the diversification of exports. A systemic-structural approach is used to analyze the economic development processes of the BRICS countries. This approach defines the logic behind building a system of interconnections between key processes in this area of economic relations. Sanctions pressure increases the need to develop alternative trade routes and infrastructure within the association, including transport corridors, logistics hubs, and digital platforms. At the same time, the creation of BRICS international trade institutions allows countries to move away from dependence on Western pricing mechanisms, stabilizing exports and simplifying settlements in national currencies. It is advisable to develop management tools that more closely coordinate BRICS member countries’ operations with food and energy resources, the supply routes for such resources, new forms and currencies of payment for resource deliveries, etc. This article may be useful to researchers and practitioners engaged in analytical work, as well as graduate and undergraduate students.
