- Abstract
The article analyzes the theoretical issues of cooperation in agriculture and the creation of cooperative movement as a form of its organization. Inelastic demand and elastic supply are considered one of the reasons for the “productivity paradox” in this field of activities, since they are considered as systemic problems of agriculture. On the other hand, the type of agricultural market structure further deepens this paradox. Global practice shows that cooperative movement plays an important role in solving the existing problem. In the recent period, in developed countries, two directions of the organization of cooperative undertakings have been established: production and service cooperatives. As a result of the study, the problems of equitable income distribution, which are considered one of the biggest problems of production cooperatives, were highlighted and analyzed in detail. In addition, the benefits of service cooperatives also found their explanation in the study. Based on the study, it was concluded that the cooperative movement can play a significant role in reducing risks in the agricultural production process and resolving the productivity paradox.
