Abstract
During the transitional period since 1992 until today, many transformed and new legal forms of business were established in Russia. The main objective of this chapter is to analyse the effect of legal form of agricultural enterprises on efficiency of crop production in the Kulunda Steppe in Altai Krai in 2008–2012. We analyse statistical data collected through monitoring of agricultural enterprises by the Main Department of Agriculture in Altai Krai. Results of data envelopment analysis (DEA) show lower efficiency of plant production of agricultural organizations with cooperative legal forms (APC) compared to non-cooperative forms (LLC and JSC). The analysis identifies differences in use of human resources and in plant production intensification.
