EXPERIENCE OF AGRO-ASSOCIATIONS IN ECONOMICALLY DEVELOPED COUNTRIES

Agricultural producers have a practical need for joint activities to realize their economic interests. The relevance of the study is caused by the fact that in order to develop effective economic tools for the development of integration in the agricultural complex of any country, it is necessary to study the foreign experience of its organization and functioning. The purpose of the article is to study best practices and systematize the main characteristic features of modern integration relations in the agro–sector of economically developed countries. This systematization gives an idea of a wide variety of forms of cooperation and areas of cooperative activity in the world practice and allows to opt for and adapt the most acceptable and effective management mechanisms for the conditions of a particular country. The findings of the study can be used in countries where there is not yet a fully developed cooperative sector in the agro-industrial production system.
