PROBLEMS OF COOPERATION DEVELOPMENT IN RURAL AREAS AND WAYS OF THEIR SOLVING

The article analyzes the main positive features characterizing agricultural consumer cooperation. The paper reveals factors preventing agricultural cooperatives working in Russia. The author defines the key goal of agricultural cooperatives’ state support as improvement of rural population quality of life. It should provide rural people with own-produced food stuff, increase rural people employment and earnings, make national agricultural producers being the main suppliers of competitive food production to regional, national and world market. The publication demonstrates that weak legislation regulating agricultural cooperation in the country increases legal, organizational and financial risks of cooperatives. The author observes lack of capacities and wish in cooperatives to look for own resources aimed at their development (capital strengthening, increase in reserve, building protection and security elements, building by means of guarantee and insurance funds). The paper shows contradictions between participants of agricultural cooperatives and partners at all the stages of activity. All mentioned above performs as a negative factor in cooperation being voluntary and popular. The author suggests an activity plan “road map” aimed at building institutional environment of agricultural cooperation in rural areas. The development directions include strengthening of legislation; building the system of state regulation and support; scientific, information and consulting support and infrastructure development.
