STUDIES REGARDING COOPERATION AND ASSOCIATION OF ROMANIAN AGRICULTURISTS

Association and cooperation are seen as cooperation activities of two or more entrepreneurs who wish to unite in different fields of activity. Authors present the organisation and functioning of agricultural cooperatives in European Union industrialised countries and Romania, the advantages of such forms of organisation for Romanian farmers (who own, in general, small farms inefficient economically), and the principles that should be the basis for legislation and correct functioning of the agricultural cooperative system.
