The Concept of Rural Cooperation Development for the Period Till 2020

Abstract

The All-Russian Congress of rural cooperatives that took place on March 21, 2013 has brought to light the key problems faced by small business in agriculture – the limited access to input and credit markets and the lack of a consistent approach to the development of agricultural cooperation. Suggestions put forward by the Congress’ delegates serve as a basis for the departmental target program being worked out by the RF Ministry of Agriculture.
