The development of rural cooperation potential [Развитие Потенциала Кооперации На Селе]

Recently, the Government of the Russian Federation has been actively engaged in the issue of the formation and development of small business entities that play an important role in the country's agricultural production, and in many regions are dominant. However, small producers face different problems: a small volume of production and, as a result, difficulties in selling products, lack of competitiveness in the market, lack of necessary skills, equipment, etc. Cooperation is aimed at mitigating and solving these difficulties. It can help farmers and rural people to adapt to a market economy, improve access to markets, modern equipment and technologies, increase the competitiveness and profitability of cooperation participants.
