The main area of activity of consumer cooperatives is rural areas, where, in cooperation with regional authorities, it solves the problems of forming food resources. Providing the population with food is one of the main tasks of consumer cooperation in the sphere of national security of the state. Consumer societies participate in the formation of the regional market of agri-food products, acting as an integral part of the infrastructure of the regional economy. The volume of purchases of agri-food products by the consumer cooperative is a reliable indicator of the relationship with agricultural producers. In the system of purchasing agricultural products, an important place is occupied by the cooperative store, acting as an Outpost of consumer cooperation. Procurement points of consumer cooperation play a significant role in the development of the regional economy and the formation of food resources. In the regions of Russia, the Centrosoyuz consumer cooperative has its own material and technical resources, a system for harvesting agricultural products, and a network of wholesale and retail trade. Consumer cooperation is a reliable channel for selling agricultural products of small businesses through distribution points and cooperative stores. The activity of consumer cooperatives in the food supply system of the regions fully fits into the solution of the tasks formulated in the Russian food security Doctrine. Consumer cooperation is of particular importance for the development of private subsidiary and peasant (farm) farms. Consumer cooperatives buy agricultural products and raw materials; sell compound feed, fertilizers, varietal seeds of agricultural crops, etc. to the rural population. Procurement organizations of consumer cooperatives (receiving points and cooperative stores) they have extensive experience in purchasing agricultural products from agricultural producers, thus ensuring that small agricultural businesses sell their products, including through retail regional markets, through which 48% of the volume of potatoes, 44% of fruit and vegetable products, almost 40% of meat and poultry, and 20% of eggs are sold.

The dynamics of prices for agricultural products, the factors that affect the pricing policy in modern conditions are considered in the article. Price is the most important element of the economic mechanism of the modern agrarian system, and in a market economy inefficient use of the price mechanism or complete rejection of price regulation results in large-scale negative consequences for the development of agricultural production of the country. Price disproportions arising in the system of agro-industrial complex between its separate links cause necessity of the state regulation of pricing. Agricultural producers cannot control the production of their products to the same extent as non-agricultural firms because the total output is determined by the work of many relatively small producers operating independently, and secondly, production results depend largely on weather conditions and biological systems. The end result in most cases depends on many uncontrolled factors that affect the yield or animal productivity – weather, natural disasters. The abilities of agricultural producers to respond to changing market conditions are quite limited - it is impossible to quickly stop or change agricultural production. Conversely, processing enterprises and consumers can adapt to changes in the supply of agricultural products in a shorter time than farms to changes in factors of production. The existing pricing mechanism for agricultural products is still imperfect and a system of measures to improve its functioning at all levels of state and legislative power is needed. An important place in agrarian transformations is occupied by the issues of a reasonable combination of free pricing with state price regulation. Public policy should continue to play the role of the main regulator in agriculture on the basis of investments in science, resource and energy-saving production technologies, lending, insurance, marketing, etc. The state must compensate deviations from the market price to agricultural producers in the amounts necessary for their activities at a given level of profitability.

The aim is to analyze the state and development prospects of the regional agri-food market. Methods - economic and statistical, systematic approach, comparative analysis. Results - consumption expenditures of the population of the region and their structure, situation on livestock market are determined. A distinctive feature of livestock farms is their diversified nature. It was revealed that tendencies of food market functioning are influenced by the remoteness of rural areas from the places of sale of raw materials and agricultural products, agricultural machinery; underdevelopment of production and social infrastructure. The emphasis is made on the fact that in order to increase the volume of food and saturate regional market with food products, it is necessary to improve management of production and sale of food products. It is shown that one of the components of regional policy should be the development of a model of marketing management in food market, which defines it as a system of economic ties between subjects regarding the distribution of resources and meeting the needs of the region's population in food products. The further development of trade in food products in the context of growth in effective demand of the population, trends in the world economy and strengthening of the position of foreign trade due to cross-border cooperation has been justified. It is noted that there is a potential for growth in added value based on positive changes in production structure. Conclusions - the local role of the consumer market for products of the processing industry is determined by the nature of economic relations in the region, and its further development is possible only by optimizing the use of resources, increasing the information security of agricultural producers and applying marketing methods in management process.
