Abstract:

The theoretical and practical aspects of the state support and regulation of agricultural cooperative development are studied in the article. The directions of regulatory policy are determined. The causes that hinder its development have been revealed and the ways of these problems solving have been considered. The necessity to support their development and activity at the national level through the adoption of relevant laws and regulations, programs and ideological propaganda ensuring is considered.Agricultural cooperatives are a new legal and institutional structure in the village, which has emerged as a natural reaction of rural producers to market environment realities. The increased interest of peasants to a new type of corporate structures requires proper information support, broad coverage, analysis of their activities and assessment of their effectiveness and foreign experience coverage. Consequently, the creation of cooperatives for agricultural producers gives the opportunity to specialize production and increase its concentration, to reduce material costs and as a result to ensure the growth of agricultural production.
