Abstract
The article considers the key problems that hinder the development of the system of cooperation in the agricultural sector of Russia. It is argued that the spread of cooperative forms of interaction in rural areas is hampered by a number of specific factors, including demography, the concentration and consolidation of business in the face of large integrator companies, low efficiency in the use of land potential, material and financial resources, and state regulation. Special attention is paid to the state support for the development of agricultural cooperation and small-scale farming in rural areas. The geography of the location of the cooperative movement in the leading regions is presented. It is established that the development of cooperation occurs unevenly across the subjects of the Russian Federation, and its general state is still characterized as unstable. The comparative characteristics of the features of the development of agricultural cooperation in Russia and abroad are given. It is proved that in the modern Russian reality, agricultural cooperation is the new most effective form of cooperation in the agricultural sphere and a strategic tool of behavior that should not be ignored by small forms of management.
