Development of cooperation of agricultural goods producers as the basis of food supply of the country

Abstract

On the basis of the results of the conducted research, propose practical recommendations for the formation of cooperative associations of agricultural commodity producers of all forms of management. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is the dialectical approach of cognition to economic phenomena and processes, according to which all objects are considered in the constant development, change and improvement of production relations. On the basis of a systemic analysis, cooperation is considered as a set of mutually coordinated and synchronously acting economic, organizational and social components that ensure the achievement of a synergistic effect.

It has been proven that cooperation is carried out in three directions: intra-economic cooperation; cooperation of subjects of entrepreneurial activity in the field of agribusiness and personal peasant farms (PSH); inter-farm cooperation at the district and regional levels.

Domestic and foreign experience shows that in large agricultural areas, it is advisable to build processing enterprises of appropriate capacity and create agro-industrial cooperative formations or associations in which capital can be transferred from processing enterprises to producers of agricultural raw materials.

The system proposed by us is designed to ensure a fairly close connection between the level of material interest, increasing the responsibility of employees and the amount of gross income of the cooperative, and therefore, to contribute to the growth of production volumes and improvement of product quality.

Thus, cooperation allows to increase production, successfully compete with the monopoly of processing and trading enterprises, combining the efforts of large and small agricultural production. It can also play an important role in achieving a worthy place for Ukraine in the global agrarian economy with its inherent competition, the struggle for the trust of business entities.

It has been proven that the area of distribution of cooperative structures under market conditions can be expanded both horizontally and vertically. It aims to expand cooperation in the field of production, procurement, processing and sales of products, material and technical supply and service, lending and insurance. At the same time, the strategic goal of each of them should be the formation of the most expedient model. The results of this study can be used in further scientific developments to substantiate the prospects for the development of agricultural cooperation and in the practical activities of cooperatives.
