The article considers the key problems that hinder the development of the system of cooperation in the agricultural sector of Russia. It is argued that the spread of cooperative forms of interaction in rural areas is hampered by a number of specific factors, including demography, the concentration and consolidation of business in the face of large integrator companies, low efficiency in the use of land potential, material and financial resources, and state regulation. Special attention is paid to the state support for the development of agricultural cooperation and small-scale farming in rural areas. The geography of the location of the cooperative movement in the leading regions is presented. It is established that the development of cooperation occurs unevenly across the subjects of the Russian Federation, and its general state is still characterized as unstable. The comparative characteristics of the features of the development of agricultural cooperation in Russia and abroad are given. It is proved that in the modern Russian reality, agricultural cooperation is the new most effective form of cooperation in the agricultural sphere and a strategic tool of behavior that should not be ignored by small forms of management.

The economic and political transition brought many challenges for the Hungarian agricultural sector. The break-up of large agricultural holdings had serious negative impacts on food production and on the export of agricultural products. Capital intensive profit-seeking intermediaries dominate the trading of agricultural goods that has injurious effects in terms of downward pressure on production prices and an increase in consumer prices. Cooperatives have a key role in effectively tackling the common challenges that small-scale producers have to face. More vertical integration along the food chain could contribute to providing rural employment and to an increase in living standards in rural areas. This study reviews the development, the specific features and the driving forces of modern cooperatives in Central Europe in general, and in Hungary in particular. The focus is on the integrator role of cooperatives and their future role in our globalised world. JEL Classification: Q10, Q13

The grain farming is the basic sector of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) of the Russian Federation, which has always been the basis for the sustainable development of the entire agricultural sector of the country. The feed grain is of particular importance for obtaining cheap livestock products and import substitution in this field. The share of the imported meat and dairy products will sharply decrease if the system of ensuring self-sufficiency for the country's regions with grain is properly built. At the same time, the resources spent on imports will fund the development of the entire AIC. Due to some natural and economic factors, not all regions in the Russian Federation are able to provide themselves with their own grain. It is favorable for such regions to import cheap grain from other regions and to supply their cheap livestock products to these regions. Most of the grain should be fed to livestock and poultry in order to eliminate the discrepancy between the export and import of food. The attempts are made in the Russian Federation to transfer agriculture to an industrial basis, but, unfortunately, this is done only in the farms that receive high subsidies and preferential loans, while most of the farms try to develop at their own expense, which they lack. This results in the technological backwardness of the industry and the general crisis state.

This paper explores the problem of developing agricultural consumer cooperation enterprises and increasing their competitiveness. According to the authors, the development of agricultural cooperation can give an impetus to increasing the potential of rural areas, will solve the food security problem of the Russian Federation, and stimulate the development of national agriculture. The study identifies the main problems that hinder the development of agricultural cooperation in Russia, including the low competitiveness of these enterprises, insufficient knowledge and poor motivation of the population to create a cooperative movement, the lack of effective state support for agricultural producers from the regional and federal authorities, as well as policies pursued by large retailers, which are mainly aimed at increasing imports of agricultural products. The authors propose a comprehensive approach to solve these problems by highlighting several key priority areas. At the same time, the priority task is to increase the competitiveness of consumer cooperation enterprises and their products. The paper analyses the activities of agricultural consumer cooperation enterprises in the Republic of Tatarstan and offers recommendations to improve the competitiveness of consumer societies, in particular, by creating a wholesale distribution and logistics link for cooperation, reducing costs, and optimizing the assortment.

Women's work in the countryside is of great importance because it contributes to the economy of their people and their families from vulnerable areas, which require more attention from different institutions to improve their quality of life. The objective of this research is to determine the integration of the workforce of women in agriculture, through a questionnaire and semi-structured questions to women leaders dedicated to the agricultural sector and women workers who work in the field from the districts Imperial and Quilmana. As a result, the great growth potential of women and their contribution to food security, improvements in the economy were identified. On the other hand, these women are characterized by belonging to vulnerable sectors. Therefore, their participation in the labor force implies greater care and delicacy, especially in agro-export companies. With regard to gender equality, it is similar in work to that of men in agricultural activities, but with less income in wages. Therefore, women tend to contribute to the economic improvement of their rural family basket, being able to demonstrate great potential in labor development, taking on challenges in the face of poverty and inequality of opportunity, in the face of a state that emerges from mistrust and breach of agricultural public policies, which prevent professional development due to lack of economic resources in the rural areas of the Cañete Valley, Lima Region, Peru.

The agro-industrial complex is one of the most important sectors in the economy of any country, and the Russian Federation is no exception. The modern development of the state’s economy largely depends on the level of development of the agro-industrial sector and the efficiency of management activities of its management. For more than 25 years, Russia has been in the process of reforming and transforming the agricultural sector. The level of agricultural development remains quite ambiguous. Stimulating the agricultural sector at the state level is a priority for advanced countries in economic policy, because agriculture is the most important branch of the national economy, which actively involves a diverse set of measures for state support (subsidies, benefits, trade protection, etc.). The existing system of state regulation and support of agriculture in China is based on standard methods used in most countries of the world. The article is devoted to the study of the mechanisms of state support for the agro-industrial complex in China, because it is important to study which structure and organization of agricultural production contributes to the most intensive and balanced development. It is necessary to realize that it is not possible to improve the efficiency of the agro-industrial complex in the short term, so long-term forecasts and programs should be developed. This is especially important in today’s volatile economy. Possible methods of stimulating domestic agricultural producers based on the experience of the country under consideration are considered. As a result of the analysis, positive and negative factors of influence of certain measures for state support of agriculture in General on the country’s economy were identified. The article discusses the main methods of state support for agriculture used in the PRC and the possibility of their application in the Russian Federation. This article is intended for those who work in the field of Finance of the agro-industrial complex.
